Rock vs Punk had me thinking what are the best builds/story lines for past WWE Championship and World Heavyweight Championship matches at the Royal Rumble? Feel free to post top5/10's, post video packages/promos for the matches etc The one's that stand out to me are:
Hardy/Orton 2008 = Jeff has always been over, but this was during his super duper overness pursuit of the WWE Championship for his first time (second if you include the Taker Ladder Match). Great segments week after week, it felt like a personal feud and it also gave us Hardy giving a Swanton from the side of the stage. Damn good match as well
HHH/HBK 2004 LMS = Including the "it only takes 1 second" promo from HBK, these guys already had history by this point but this just built on it and put the feud on entirely new level.
HHH/Foley 2000 = what else needs to be said? great feud, great match and solidified both men as top level talent.
I also liked Angle/Benoit from 2003
