WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross updated the blog section of JRsbarbq.com. The following items are among the highlights. To order J.R.'s BBQ products, visit WWEShop.com.

-Ross on Daniel Bryan: "Firstly, the vast majority of fans wanted Daniel Bryan to win the Royal Rumble so that he would be in line for a WWE World Title match at WM30. That did not happen. Yet. Obviously, Daniel Bryan has made an amazing connection with the WWE fans and I'd venture to say that today, 24 hours after the Royal Rumble, that Daniel Bryan has NEVER been more popular in his entire career. At this point, Daniel Bryan becoming WWE World Champion would be great but it certainly isn't definitively necessary for DB to be 'over.' Daniel Bryan is 'over' and his fans are seemingly rallying behind him in a verbal show of solidarity and support. If Bryan embraces this support, then a happier ending is more likely to occur."

Powell's POV: This is going to be the most interesting edition of Raw in quite some time. No matter what you thought about the Rumble last night, you have to be curious to see how WWE responds. Ross had more to say about the Bryan situation in his actual blog.

-Ross on Roman Reigns: "Reigns is a future star and if he had won the Royal Rumble that would have been just fine with me. However, Reigns, as a fan favorite, chasing either villains Orton or Batista would be money matches. Reigns era is rapidly approaching. The foundation is being laid."

Powell's POV: I like the slow build to Reigns becoming a top guy. He definitely took a step in that direction last night.

-Ross on Bray Wyatt: "Bray Wyatt was another of the younger talents who had a break through night and was a bigger star after the Rumble than before it. The 300 pounder with a 2nd gear athletically rose to the occasion vs. Bryan and then got more 'stretch' being involved in Cena's loss to Orton."

Powell's POV: I came away from the Rumble more excited about Bray Wyatt than anyone else who was showcased, Reigns included. Wyatt and Bryan stole the show from an in-ring standpoint, while the live crowd stole the overall show.
