The 2014 one? I always thought Bryan's momentum was too big and some changes would be made in time for Mania. Of course I wasn't expecting the whole show to be about him, but I was fairly confident he would end up in the title match against Batista and Orton. Also, that Rumble still had The Shield going strong (people wanted Roman to win as a consolation price without Bryan) and the company was coming off one of the best in ring years they had ever had, specially on TV.
This one felt dire. The roster, outside of Brock, Roman, Seth and Lashley (and only Brock was in the Rumble, and lasted a couple of minutes winning easily) felt lifeless, unmotivated and going through the motions. That to me is way more depressing than Vince being stubborn about D-Bry.
