00:00Man, I can't even imagine a better way to kick off
00:05the Royal Rumble than these, these two.
00:09This place is electric.
00:12It is chilling here at the US Airways Center.
00:18Jericho and Ziggler are going to have a great time in the ring.
00:24And the US Airways Center.
00:28Jericho and Ziggler officially starting the 2013 Royal Rumble and
00:33the road to WrestleMania, and here we go.
00:37The road to WrestleMania has begun.
00:40This is Chris Jericho's seventh Royal Rumble.
00:43Last year, he was among the two final men before being eliminated by Sheamus.
00:50Can you imagine Jericho being here tonight?
00:53Jericho, remember, over top rope, both feet hit the floor, you are eliminated.
00:57Chris Jericho making sure that doesn't happen.
00:59Jericho can throw a huge monkey wrench into everybody's plans.
01:03Here we go.
01:04Ziggler hanging on, lands on the apron, and he's gotta get back into the ring.
01:10Very dangerous position there for Ziggler.
01:12He's already gone over the top rope, and Jericho looking to take advantage.
01:15I don't think ten minutes ago anyone, anywhere,
01:19would have dreamed that Chris Jericho could be in the main event at
01:23WrestleMania this year.
01:24A thunderous chant here in Phoenix.
01:31Chris Jericho, how psyched does Jericho look as Ziggler is teetering on the top rope?
01:40Jericho with love to end Dolph Ziggler's Rumble plans as we await entry number three.
01:46This doesn't end well.
01:48Superplex top rope, who's coming in at three?
01:51And it's Cody Rhodes.
01:56Cody Rhodes enters his fourth Royal Rumble match.
02:01Mustache is back.
02:02And Rhodes went right after Chris Jericho and Chris Jericho.
02:06Clothesline after clothesline to Cody Rhodes, chop after chop.
02:10Jericho looks great, but Ziggler right back on Jericho, and here we go.
02:14For most of the match, it's every man for himself.
02:16But as Shawn Michaels once said,
02:19you'll see strange alliances in this matchup.
02:23Well, there's nothing strange about the alliance here.
02:26Both Cody Rhodes and Dolph Ziggler would love to eliminate,
02:29no matter what the cost, eliminate Chris Jericho.
02:32You find a way to eliminate the biggest threat.
02:35Chris Jericho is the biggest threat in there right now.
02:37Jericho, there he may go.
02:38Yeah, trying to hang on on the top rope.
02:40Ziggler and Cody trying to eliminate him.
02:43You know, Bret Hart once said, guys,
02:44that each entrance in the Rumble changes the entire complexity of the event.
02:50Jericho's entrance did just that moments ago.
02:53Going for the walls, can he get a turn?
02:56And there it is, the walls of Jericho, and Ziggler from behind.
03:06The key is just simply survive.
03:09You can't win the Royal Rumble until you get to the very,
03:11until all 30 people get in the ring.
03:15But you can certainly lose it before that.
03:18And look at Dolph Ziggler, Chris Jericho.
03:22Falling to the bottom rope as we await entry number four in the 2013 Rumble.
03:28This is getting fun.
03:29This time it's flying by.
03:31And there could indeed be trouble in paradise for Jericho, Ziggler, and Rhodes.
03:41Here comes Kofi Kingston, entering his fourth Rumble.
03:47Kofi Kingston, the man who won a Slammy Award for
03:50handstanding his way around the ring, avoiding elimination last year.
03:54He's taking it to Cody Rhodes.
03:56What an entrance this young man is making.
03:59Coming in like a house on fire.
04:01And Kofi went right after Cody Rhodes.
04:04And Ziggler from behind.
04:06Kofi Kingston missed with trouble in paradise.
04:08Really, Kofi coming in right now is exactly what Chris Jericho needed.
04:14Takes the focus off of Y2J over there for the time being.
04:17And Kofi Kingston, just like a rubber band man.
04:21That is so great.
04:22And Dolph Ziggler, the show off's staying alive momentarily.
04:25Gotta find a way to get back in.
04:26And Cody Rhodes right after Kofi.
04:27And Ziggler gets knocked to the floor, he's out.
04:29And now Jericho and Rhodes working together.
04:32Strange bedfellows are always made in the Rumble.
04:35No, Jericho trying to get Rhodes out of there.
04:37And then Rhodes going right after Jericho.
04:40Cody Rhodes in last year's Royal Rumble.
04:42What an opportunity it is for somebody.
04:44Cody Rhodes in last year's Rumble eliminated more men than anyone else.
04:48He tossed six out of last year's matchup.
04:50Jericho with a foot right underneath the face of Cody Rhodes.
04:59But you gotta get the man over that top rope.
05:02Get his feet on the floor to eliminate him.
05:05And look at this teetering.
05:06Dolph Ziggler's in trouble.
05:08And now Cody Rhodes looking to eliminate both Dolph and Kofi.
05:12As we await entry number five.
05:15Three, two, one.
05:18Zantino.
05:18Don't blink.
05:19Hey, you shouldn't say that about Zantino Morello.
05:22Even though Zantino holds the record for
05:25being eliminated in one second in a Royal Rumble match.
05:30A couple of years ago, Zantino Morello was in the final two.
05:42And now Zantino looks to eliminate Cody Rhodes and maybe Chris Jericho.
05:46Zantino Morello, Jericho hanging on.
05:50Zantino thinks he's won it.
05:51Zantino, they gotta go all the way out and both feet have to touch the floor.
05:55And there's another 25 men that still haven't entered.
05:57He's really not the brightest guy.
06:01He may not be the sharpest knife in the door, but he can still cut you.
06:03Watch, here we go.
06:04And the Cobra has come alive.
06:08Man, Jericho quite the snake charmer there.
06:13I saw what you did there.
06:14And Zantino tossed over the top rope.
06:16I told you don't blink.
06:17And the Cobra.
06:18Look at Cody Rhodes.
06:19Does that count twice, you're looking at Zantino and the Cobra?
06:22Zantino Morello is first eliminated.
06:24Jericho wants to add Cody Rhodes to that list.
06:27Cody hanging on for dear life, and he saved himself for the time being.
06:33Rhodes and Kingston and Ziggler and Jericho remain.
06:38It's not good for Kofi Kingston right now.
06:40Yeah, Kofi's in all kinds of trouble.
06:42Ziggler and Rhodes working together to try to eliminate the human yo-yo,
06:46Kofi Kingston.
06:48We are awaiting entry number six.
06:51The leg strength of Kofi Kingston coming into play.
06:56Leg strength.
06:57And who will it be?
06:58We're a three man band.
07:01Which member of the three man band?
07:03What's the matter?
07:04Drew McIntyre, the jokester, the river of the group.
07:08From Ayr, Scotland, Drew McIntyre.
07:11Remember, 3MB with all three members in this match,
07:13so they have a 10% chance of winning the Royal Rumble match this year.
07:17Heath Slater's mom said that, that they have a 10% chance.
07:20I'm not sure these guys add that well.
07:22Jinder Mahal guaranteed that one of the three members would be victorious here
07:26at the Royal Rumble.
07:27Kofi Kingston over the top,
07:28ran into a big boot by the former Intercontinental Champion, Drew McIntyre.
07:35The ring beginning to fill with superstars, five in.
07:39Santino, the only to be eliminated so far.
07:41Maybe Kofi Kingston will join him.
07:44Jericho trying to eliminate both men.
07:46Trying to get both Drew and Kofi over the top rope.
07:49Jericho, ever the opportunist.
07:51Meanwhile, look at the other side of the ring.
07:52Dolph Ziggler over the top, lands on the apron.
07:54Now the show off's gotta fight himself back into this.
07:58Dolph Ziggler's gotta understand, he's gotta be careful.
08:00He gets knocked off that apron.
08:01There he goes.
08:02Get back in, Dolph.
08:03And there goes that alliance that we saw momentarily between Dolph Ziggler and
08:08Cody Rhodes.
08:09Wow, Drew McIntyre really taking it to Kofi Kingston right now.
08:17Drew McIntyre making a good showing for himself.
08:20Look at Chris Jericho, look at Jericho, Jericho, Jericho.
08:22Is he out?
08:23Yeah, he's dangling, he's dangling.
08:25Both feet have gotta hit the floor.
08:27Referee is looking right now.
08:28Referee's right there.
08:28Yeah, Charles Robinson in great position as Jericho pulls himself back to the apron
08:33as we await entry number seven.
08:35Chris lives to keep fighting.
08:36And there he is, the big deal.
08:42Titus O'Neil of the prime time players.
08:47Here comes your wash rag, King.
08:50Whoa, Titus O'Neil taking it to all the participants in this Royal Rumble.
08:55Well, Titus wins the Royal Rumble match, he can buy a lot of wash rags.
08:59I'm not sure he would, but he could.
09:02And now Kofi Kingston, you ever thought you'd see that?
09:04Kofi and Cody trying to work together, but Titus O'Neil and
09:08the Barton that represents his fraternity from down in Florida.
09:12You can't win unless you get to the end, Michael.
09:14So you're gonna see all kinds of crazy alliances here,
09:16people trying to make it to the end.
09:18Millions of dollars, millions of dollars.
09:21Millions of dollars.
09:22The strength of Titus O'Neil.
09:23Yeah, just flinging Kofi Kingston around the ring.
09:26You know, the great- Should have flung him over the top rope while he had the chance.
09:29Talking about the Royal Rumble match, the great Harley Race,
09:31who was in the first ever in 1988, once said that you get in there and you go.
09:36There's no strategy.
09:37You stay alive.
09:38Here we go.
09:38As McIntyre is eliminated by Jericho.
09:41There goes the hair band.
09:42Watch it, watch it, watch it, there goes Jericho.
09:44Ziggler would love to eliminate Jericho and ruin the homecoming for
09:47Chris Jericho tonight.
09:49And now Titus O'Neil goes right after Dolph Ziggler.
09:51Dolph Ziggler, hanging on.
09:54Man, oh man.
09:55For the moment, Ziggler's gotta get back into the ring.
09:57Notice how Ziggler's got himself a drape around the rope.
10:01It's like a- That's exactly what you have to do.
10:04Using the rope like an octopus to his advantage.
10:08And we are down under ten seconds as we now await entry number eight.
10:14Funny how you guys both thought of an octopus at the same time when you saw
10:17Dolph hanging onto that rope.
10:19Great minds think alike.
10:20What?
10:22What?
10:25And there's a reason that Cody has that look.
10:28It's him.
10:28Because here comes his brother, the most bizarre superstar in history, Goldust.
10:35Team Goldy.
10:36And you guys gotta bear with me,
10:38because I gotta look back into my record book here,
10:40because I wasn't expecting this here tonight.
10:44And Goldust goes right after his brother, Cody Rhodes.
10:49And a shade to Goldust.
10:56That was a little Goldust from Cody.
10:59Goldust-esque.
11:00And there's the real Goldust.
11:04And now I see, I'm looking now,
11:06it looks like this is Goldust's eighth Royal Rumble ever.
11:08Looking to eliminate his brother, Cody Rhodes, who barely hangs on.
11:12Goldust made his debut in the Royal Rumble, 1991.
11:15Tag teaming with his daddy, the American Dream.
11:20This is so great already.
11:22And now he's putting a whooping on his brother, Cody.
11:25Goldust chants, ringing through the US Airways Center in Phoenix.
11:30Goldust unloading on Cody Rhodes.
11:33Dr. Shelby would have had a field day with him and Booker T as Book Dust.
11:37Well, you know, Goldust, he's been pretty vocal on Twitter about the actions of his
11:41brother and his brother's attitude ever since joining Damian Sandow.
11:45He might have to call in Dr.
11:47Shelby to have a little session with Goldust and
11:49Cody Rhodes about this sibling rivalry.
11:53And now Ziggler and Kingston.
11:55We now await entry number nine.
11:59I love the unpredictability of the Royal Rumble.
12:02Who's next?
12:05It is the Harvard Law School graduate, Daniel Sharker.
12:08Jennifer Hudson's husband.
12:10Otunga entering his third Royal Rumble match.
12:16And all three of us here at ringside have been a part of the Royal Rumble match.
12:19John, you've actually been in five in your career.
12:22One here, you lasted nearly 36 minutes.
12:25As Otunga goes right after Goldust.
12:27You've been in one, haven't you, Michael?
12:28Yeah, last year.
12:29How long did you last?
12:30Almost two minutes.
12:31Did anybody last less than you?
12:32Yes. Who?
12:33Jerry The King Lawler.
12:34How long did he last?
12:35Less than a minute.
12:35He lasted longer than Jerry Lawler?
12:37Yes.
12:37Wow.
12:38Did you beat him at WrestleMania, too?
12:40Yes. Hey, listen, I've stopped listening.
12:42You can stop talking.
12:45And Otunga has got Jericho pinned to the corner.
12:48David Otunga gotta be very careful.
12:50His face got rearranged in a recent match.
12:53I don't know if you noticed that.
12:54You know, Cody Rhodes, he was hanging out in the corner,
12:56catching his breath moments ago.
12:58That's smart.
12:59But Otunga going after Jericho.
13:01Jericho on the first one's end.
13:03Yeah, Hacksaw- You take a low-hanging fruit.
13:04Hacksaw Jim Duggan, who won the Royal Rumble in 1988.
13:09He once said, you get in the corner, you protect yourself,
13:10you move and hit, you stay out of harm's way.
13:12Whoa, Titus.
13:13Titus O'Neil not able to do that.
13:15Whoa, there goes Goldust.
13:17Hanging on the apron is Titus.
13:19Cody Rhodes not able to eliminate his brother, either.
13:24The ring is filling up with superstars.
13:27You see Kofi Kingston has Dolph Ziggler in trouble.
13:31Number ten.
13:32We're a third of the way through, ladies and gentlemen, of the 2013 Rumble.
13:36We're a three-man band.
13:38And there he is, the Axl Rose of the three-man band,
13:42Heath Slater, who tweeted earlier this week that the Royal Rumble,
13:47in his mind, is nothing more than a 30-man mosh pit.
13:51So that means you follow Heath Slater?
13:54Yeah, I follow him on Twitter.
13:57You admit that.
13:58We're on air, Michael.
13:59That's what I meant.
14:00We're on air.
14:01And Heath Slater, he's unloading on Otunga.
14:04Titus and Kofi, Goldust and Ziggler, Rhodes and Jericho.
14:08Now Slater turns his attention to Goldust.
14:12At least Beyonce could have sang if she wanted to.
14:15These guys have never even sang.
14:17Lip sync, anything.
14:18You mean they're totally Milli Vanilli?
14:22Totally Milli Vanilli.
14:23They're what happens to the mainstream class in one good karaoke bar.
14:26You know, there's been a number of times in this match that Ziggler's gone over
14:28the top rope and landed on the apron.
14:31One of these times, his luck is gonna run out.
14:34Odds against you, the more you go over that top rope, obviously.
14:38And Jericho with a personal vendetta against Ziggler.
14:41Man, Ziggler's head driven into that turnbuckle.
14:45And from there, Jericho can just knock Ziggler to the floor.
14:50Yeah, but- Or my Ziggy, as AJ would call him.
14:52Yep, that's our pet name for him.
14:55My Ziggy.
15:00Well, ladies and gentlemen, we can tell you this.
15:02Dolph Ziggler and Chris Jericho have both lasted now 15 minutes in
15:06the Royal Rumble match since starting one and two.
15:09So John, at some point, the time will become a factor for both these guys.
15:13All you have to do is survive.
15:15Make it to the end.
15:16You can't win if you don't make it to the end.
15:18Here's entry number 11, last year's Royal Rumble winner.
15:23Trying to become only the fourth man in history to win back-to-back Rumble matches
15:30and join the likes of- Look at this.
15:34Irish Curse Backbreaker to join Hogan and Michaels and Austin.
15:39Sheamus looking to join that illustrious group here tonight.
15:42Man, Sheamus cleaning house.
15:46Sheamus last year won from entry number 22.
15:49Tonight he hopes to do it from entry number 11.
15:52Titus.
15:53Titus hangs on.
15:55Yeah, momentarily perhaps.
15:56I don't know- We're about to go in, Cobbler, and listen to this.
16:02This is Sheamus at his best.
16:04Otunga.
16:06Look at him.
16:06Titus eliminated.
16:10It's like pinball out here.
16:11Otunga's undefeated as a lawyer.
16:13I have a feeling he's about to be misbarred for this.
16:17Five, six, seven, six, five, six, seven.
16:24Uh-oh, uh-oh.
16:26Brogue Kick, thanks for coming, Otunga.
16:30He might have to suit for medical malpractice.
16:32And now look at- At Slater and
16:36Rhodes focusing on last year's Rumble winner as we await entry number 12.
16:42One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve,
16:46thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, nineteen,
16:51twenty-one, twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four, twenty-five, twenty-six,
16:56Over the years in WWE, he's been in a number of Rumble matches.
17:00This marks Rumble match number six.
17:03Well, you heard that statistic earlier about how much weight,
17:06how many superstars have competed.
17:08This is obviously the biggest man in this year's Royal Rumble so far.
17:14And you know, as the match fills up with superstars, it brings to mind a quote from
17:19Jake Roberts, who was the first person to ever eliminate a man in the Royal Rumble.
17:23He said, when the ring fills up with superstars, it gets to be so dangerous.
17:26There's so many people in such a small space.
17:30There's nowhere to go, and there's nowhere to hide.
17:32I hid under the ring once.
17:36Yeah, I know that.
17:37Great strategy, however.
17:39Mr. McMahon, remember the year he won?
17:41He ran all around the arena.
17:44You're saying he was scared?
17:45I'm saying that it was tremendous strategy by the boss.
17:50Not safe, Ziggler.
17:52JBL, can you say something?
17:55Ziggler and Slater.
17:56Michael Cole trying to hang on.
17:58It's the same thing.
17:59It's disgusting.
18:02Go ahead, bring up the fact that great men drop Bentleys.
18:05Go ahead, Michael.
18:06They do.
18:07There you go.
18:10He's Slater teetering on the edge of the ring there with a foot in his throat.
18:14He's back in now.
18:16And now we await entry number 13 in the 2013 Royal Rumble.
18:22And it's about to get funky down in this house.
18:28With a funky dance move in his first Rumble.
18:32His name is Brutus Clay.
18:35Somewhere there's a Sasquatch sitting with LaToya Jackson watching their little kid
18:39in the Royal Rumble.
18:40His big old Brontosaurus.
18:44If he can ever get off all his bling, he'll enter the ring.
18:50And here comes Brutus.
18:53My brother had to funky back to me.
18:58Yeah, look it, look it.
19:00Again, again, Ziggler's in trouble as Brutus goes right after Jericho.
19:05It seems like since starting number one in this match,
19:08Dolph Ziggler's been in trouble since the get-go.
19:10Look at the two big men going at it in there.
19:13Again on the apron.
19:14How unbelievable would it be at WrestleMania if Dolph Ziggler is the main event of
19:18the championship match and with money in the bank?
19:20He could cash in against himself.
19:22Goldust flying across the ring by his brother, Cody Rhodes.
19:25Did he call Richard Dawson?
19:26We got a family feud.
19:27It's only been ten years, but that's okay.
19:32Call him anyway.
19:35And now it's Cody Rhodes on the apron of the ring.
19:39He's great for the Geroes.
19:40Trouble for Cody, and now Cody and his brother.
19:45Two brothers outside of an apron.
19:47Yeah, both out of the apron, both went over the top rope.
19:49Who's gonna be eliminated?
19:51Cody back into the ring.
19:52We're lucky for Cody there.
19:54Dustin, Goldust I should say, hung up on the top rope.
19:57And Goldust into the steel post to eliminate him.
20:00Cody Rhodes has eliminated his own brother from the Royal Rumble.
20:04Is the dream smiling with this or not?
20:08This does call for Dr. Shelby.
20:10Entry number 14 on his way.
20:14Oh baby, from just up the I-10 in San Diego, Rey Mysterio's here.
20:27The winner of the 2006 Royal Rumble, Rey Mysterio.
20:34Who set a record when he entered at number two, lasted over 62 minutes.
20:40Watch this, Rey Mysterio, I think, just delivered 161,000, like that.
20:46Well, is that a call, a conference call?
20:49Yeah, look at Rey Mysterio up to the top rope.
20:51Rey Mysterio, what's he gonna do here?
20:53He's gonna drop the time.
20:55And speaking of time, Ziggler, Jericho,
20:58over the 20 minute mark in this year's 2013 Rumble.
21:03Rey up on the shoulders of Cody Rhodes.
21:06Mysterio knows what it's like to last.
21:09Not only number two in 2006, but he entered at number one in 2009.
21:15Rey Mysterio is fourth overall in all time minutes lasted
21:19in Royal Rumble matches in over 170 minutes.
21:25Sheamus, Brodus, Clay there, and Kofi all trying to get Tensai over that top rope.
21:29That's gonna take a village to get him out of there.
21:31Yeah, Tensai, a moose, very difficult to eliminate, and is Brodus Clay.
21:38A moose?
21:41Yeah, how would you describe it?
21:44Like a big tattooed hippo.
21:47Number 15 on his way.
21:52With it.
21:53And Darren Young hopes to last a bit longer than his partner Titus O'Neil did.
22:00It's his first Rumble for the other half of the Primetime Players.
22:06And look at everybody now, ganging up on the big man who's been eliminated,
22:10Brodus Clay.
22:11Wow. See you bye.
22:13Go back to the dance hall.
22:14Darren Young came in and made the difference.
22:16Sasquatch lovers are very upset about Brodus Clay leaving.
22:22Uh-oh, Kofi Kingston trying to hang on, but he-
22:25There goes the other big man.
22:27Wow, did you guys feel that?
22:28Tensai's been eliminated.
22:31That was about 800 pounds of man right there thrown out of two people.
22:35Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
22:37And look at Ziggler trying to eliminate Kofi, who lands on him.
22:40Kofi just landed on Tensai's back.
22:43Kofi's still alive.
22:44Wait a minute, Kofi's not disqualified.
22:45No, Kofi's still alive.
22:47Both feet have to hit the floor.
22:49Tensai, they gotta get Tensai out of here.
22:51Wait a minute.
22:51I think Kofi just got him out of there with that kick.
22:53Now what's Kofi gonna do?
22:56He's in a predicament now because Kofi's not been eliminated.
22:59But how the hell, if you're Kofi Kingston, do you get back to the ring?
23:03It's impossible.
23:04He's like a bird with the world's on fire.
23:06Where do you land?
23:06What are they used to do now?
23:09What are they used to do in Star Trek, teleport themselves?
23:12I think that's what Kofi better try to do here.
23:14Jump, Carl Lewis, jump for it.
23:16I don't think there's anybody that's gonna beam him.
23:18He's gonna try.
23:19He's gonna- Jump for it.
23:20Beam him all the way over to the ring.
23:23Beam me up, Kofi.
23:24Let's take a look at it one more time.
23:26This is what happened to Kofi.
23:27He was teetering.
23:28He had to save himself by jumping all the way across and landed on-
23:32He'll take a bigger jump than Beaman in Mexico City.
23:34Give me your chair, Kofi.
23:36Give me your chair.
23:37My chair.
23:38Come on, give me your chair, your chair.
23:39Give him your chair, Kofi.
23:40A chair for what?
23:41I don't know, just give him your chair, he wants it.
23:42I gotta see this.
23:44I gotta see this.
23:46I gotta see this.
23:47I gotta see this.
23:48What is Kofi- This is gonna be good.
23:50Well, I mean- I don't know what he's gonna do.
23:52Meanwhile, entry number 16 heading to the ring.
23:55And it's Bo Dallas.
23:56This is the young man from NXT who won the eight-man tournament
24:02at the Royal RumbleFest to earn his way into the Royal RumbleMatch tonight.
24:06Meanwhile, high drama, high drama building.
24:10What is he doing?
24:11Kofi Kingston- This is unbelievable.
24:13Has not been eliminated.
24:14Kingston is still alive.
24:16I love it.
24:17And Kingston- I love it.
24:18And look at the referee staring Kofi down the row.
24:21Hang on, look.
24:22Kingston's using the chair.
24:23This is awesome.
24:24He's using the chair like- This is incredible.
24:26He's using the chair like a pogo stick.
24:28I get an assist.
24:31Kofi Kingston, give the assist to Bradshaw.
24:35That's the craziest thing I've ever seen.
24:37I can't believe it.
24:38Kofi's safe.
24:39Kofi's still in the Rumble.
24:41He is the most innovative man- Now give me my chair back.
24:43In RumbleMatch history.
24:45See you bye, Darren.
24:47Darren eliminated Kofi Kingston.
24:49Disaster kick.
24:51And after all that- No, you gotta be kidding me.
24:54After all that, Kofi Kingston eliminated by Cody Rhodes.
24:58And in the celebration, Sheamus trying to catch Cody.
25:04Wow, one of the most unique things I've ever seen in a Royal Rumble.
25:07And it only buys Kofi Kingston about another extra minute of time.
25:11Now we now await entry number 17.
25:15Great strategy by Kofi, though.
25:17But Cody just took advantage.
25:19Hey, let's talk a little bit about Bo Dallas when we get a chance.
25:21He's still in there.
25:23Here we go!
25:24Here we go!
25:25Yes, yes, yes!
25:27Oh my God!
25:28The Godfather!
25:29It can't be!
25:31I love it!
25:32He's back!
25:33He's back!
25:34The Godfather!
25:36Ha, ha, ha!
25:37I love it!
25:38He's back!
25:41From Vegas!
25:43He brought his rep back!
25:44And look at this!
25:45Everyone in the- The Godfather!
25:48They're in shock!
25:50What could happen next?
25:52This is great!
25:54This is- That's my guy!
25:57Ho, ho, ho!
25:58One of the most entertaining characters in the history of the World Wrestling Entertainment,
26:02The Godfather!
26:03He's back!
26:06This is great!
26:08Ha, ha, ha!
26:11And Godfather just- No!
26:13No!
26:14No!
26:15No!
26:16No!
26:17No!
26:18No!
26:19Why'd you do that, Ziggler?
26:20What are you doing?
26:22Godfather was, uh, in, like, half a dozen previous Rumbles, but, fuck.
26:29I don't think he ever lasted that short.
26:31But how great was it just to see The Godfather?
26:33He's still with us!
26:36He's going out in style!
26:38The WWE Universe!
26:39That's my man right there!
26:41I love The Godfather!
26:42Aw, who doesn't love The Godfather, King?
26:44Hey, whether he's eliminated or not, Godfather's gonna party tonight, we know that.
26:47When I grow up, I wanna be The Godfather!
26:49Ha, ha, ha!
26:52And Chris Jericho, meanwhile, who started this match at number 2, still in there.
26:56Dolph Ziggler, the number 1 entry, still in there.
26:59Number 18, on his way in the Rumble.
27:023...
27:032...
27:041...
27:05Oh!
27:06Buzzer!
27:17Wade Barrett, the Intercontinental Champion, entering his third Rumble.
27:23This is one bad dude right here.
27:26The man who says that, around his waist...
27:31The Intercontinental Championship means something again.
27:36Would you disagree?
27:37No, not at all.
27:38The Barrett Barrage would love to win the Rumble tonight.
27:40Put himself on the, uh, the map.
27:43Wade Barrett tells you in the sunshine right now, Cole, you better not disagree.
27:47I would never disagree with this man.
27:51Oh, look at the strength of Wade Barrett!
27:53Manhandling Sheamus!
27:57Said Andy Murray lost to Djokovic, so he's a Scott again.
28:00No longer a Brit.
28:02Unless you're talking about the Australian Open.
28:06As Wade Barrett...
28:07People know what I'm talking about.
28:08Chris Jericho looked to eliminate Sheamus.
28:11Sheamus, last year's Rumble winner, looking to stay alive
28:14and become a repeat Rumble winner this year.
28:20Ralph Ziggler, laid out there by Rey Mysterio.
28:22Oh, dropkick.
28:23Rey is in precarious position right now.
28:26Get back in the center of that ring.
28:288...
28:297...
28:306...
28:315...
28:324...
28:33Let Godfather come back in for a new one.
28:34Oh, please come back, Godfather.
28:35Please come back.
28:37Entry number 19.
28:44There's no one on their feet here.
28:48Sit down. Sorry, I got excited.
28:51And you talk about me.
28:53I'm used to hanging out with that other guy on SmackDown.
28:55It's terrible.
28:57He's brought me down bad.
28:58The winner of the 2008 Rumble gets ready to head to the ring
29:02and the forces are ready.
29:04John Cena called everyone out last week.
29:06Said he was winning the Rumble this year.
29:08And here we go.
29:09The brawl is on.
29:11Everybody wants Cena.
29:14John Cena's welcome to the Royal Rumble is a beatdown.
29:17And here comes Cena.
29:19It was a beatdown.
29:20John Cena says 2013 is his year.
29:25Slater.
29:28Cody Rhodes.
29:29Cody Rhodes.
29:30John Cena is on fire.
29:35Uh-oh.
29:36There goes Rond 2J.
29:37Jericho.
29:38There goes Rond 2J.
29:39Trying to hang on.
29:40And now Ziggler.
29:42I can't believe that Ziggler tried to save Jericho,
29:45but he did.
29:47Well, Cody Rhodes was in the match nearly 30 minutes.
29:51But he didn't last,
29:52as he ran into the Bugsaw.
29:54Hey, what a great matchup this is.
29:55Bo Dallas.
29:56First NXT contestant ever.
29:58Never be in the Royal Rumble.
29:59Voting as the 10-time WWE Champion,
30:01John Cena.
30:02Yeah, Bo Dallas,
30:03who's the so-called fire and designer from NXT.
30:07Our developmental-
30:08This is how you make a name for yourself.
30:10This would be unbelievable if he eliminated John Cena.
30:13Are you kidding me?
30:14Guys, we're two-thirds of the way through the Rumble.
30:16Who's number 20?
30:22It is Damian Sandow's first Royal Rumble match.
30:25It is Damian Sandow's first Royal Rumble match.
30:36Damian Sandow comes in and immediately goes after Bo Dallas.
30:43The ring is filling up with superstars.
30:48We can tell you this,
30:49as Jericho ran the stereo way back.
30:52Both men hanging on.
30:53They both gotta get back in the ring.
30:54Did you see how fast-
30:55Rays over the top.
30:56The ring has knocked the floor.
30:57Here he's out.
30:58There goes Rey.
30:59Mysterio.
31:00Mysterio eliminated by Baron.
31:03Drop it down on that, 619.
31:05See ya.
31:06Entry number one, Ziggler.
31:07Entry number two, Jericho.
31:09Both men have lasted now over half an hour.
31:11Over 30 minutes in this match here tonight.
31:14Rumble 2013.
31:24Jericho, look at this.
31:27Going up to the walls of Jericho on John Cena.
31:32But he couldn't get it.
31:33Couldn't get it.
31:34Well that's not gonna get Cena over that top rope,
31:36I can tell you that.
31:40Entry 21.
31:42On his way.
31:45That strength of John Cena frees himself
31:47from the grip of Jericho,
31:48but it's right back in it.
31:49And going for the walls again is Jericho.
31:51He's got it locked in.
31:52As Daniel Bryan enters his second Rumble tonight.
31:56In 2011, he came in at number two
31:59tonight at number 21.
32:03Earlier tonight, Daniel Bryan and Kane
32:06knocked off Damian Sandow and Cody Rhodes
32:08with the tag team titles on the line.
32:10We had a Cobra in the match earlier,
32:12now we got a goat.
32:14And Daniel Bryan ran after Ziggler.
32:16Noah's Ark.
32:17A former world heavyweight champion.
32:19Listen to this yes chant from the universe.
32:21Wade Barrett.
32:27Daniel Bryan is leaving bodies in his wake.
32:31The feet are flying.
32:33But you gotta get him over the top rope.
32:35Daniel Bryan's the only man standing
32:37right now in the ring.
32:40Trying to eliminate Jericho.
32:43Daniel Bryan.
32:45Sheamus trying to aid as well.
32:47Jericho hanging on.
32:48He came in at number two.
32:51Cena's in trouble too.
32:53Jericho dangling.
32:55Pulls himself back up to the apron.
32:58And John Cena, as you said,
32:59still dangling over there in that corner.
33:01And Sheamus and Daniel Bryan,
33:03who of course met at WrestleMania last year
33:06for all of 18 seconds
33:08before Sheamus beat Bryan for the world title.
33:12Entry number 22
33:14as the familiar Cena chants fill the arena.
33:17And the United States champion
33:19Antonio Cesaro enters his first Royal Rumble.
33:22Earlier tonight on the pre-show
33:24Cesaro successfully retained his title
33:27against The Miz.
33:31Cesaro says he loves America
33:33and just needs a people transplant.
33:35Well, Antonio Cesaro said
33:36that he's going to dedicate his victory
33:38in the Rumble match
33:39to his home away from home,
33:41the United States champion.
33:43I wonder what Antonio Cesaro thinks
33:45of Tina Turner
33:46renouncing her United States citizenship
33:48and becoming a Swiss citizen.
33:51What's love got to do with it?
33:54Last green turner.
33:55She speaks German now.
33:57And John Cena-
33:58Cesaro speaks five languages.
33:59And Cena's in trouble now
34:00with Wade Barrett.
34:01You know, guys,
34:02we were talking about Bo Dallas earlier.
34:04The NXT upstart.
34:05He's got a lot of fans.
34:06He's got a lot of fans.
34:07He's got a lot of fans.
34:08He's got a lot of fans.
34:09He's got a lot of fans.
34:10He's got a lot of fans.
34:11He's got a lot of fans.
34:12The NXT upstart.
34:13He's still there.
34:14Bo Dallas.
34:15Bo Dallas has lasted over ten minutes
34:17so far in this match.
34:19Well, that's a victory in itself
34:20for that young man.
34:21He's got to be proud.
34:28What a kick there.
34:29How unbelievable it'd be
34:30for Bo Dallas
34:31to end up the champion here.
34:33To go to the championship
34:34at WrestleMania.
34:35That's the beauty
34:36of the Royal Rumble match.
34:37I mean, anything can happen.
34:38Every man for himself
34:39here tonight
34:40once those strange alliances
34:41break away
34:42as we now await
34:43entry number 23.
34:45Bill Billy Jim once said,
34:46the name says it all.
34:47The Royal Rumble.
34:48You hooked me.
34:51And we're hooked
34:52on number 23.
34:53The Great Khali.
34:57You know,
34:58The Great Khali
34:59as he enters his seventh
35:00Rumble match
35:01back in 2007,
35:03he eliminated
35:04seven men
35:06in one Royal Rumble match.
35:08However,
35:09he became
35:11only the first man
35:12to ever be eliminated
35:13by a diva.
35:15Beth Phoenix
35:16eliminated Great Khali
35:17one year.
35:18Does Bret Hart know
35:19this is about to be
35:20his nephew?
35:21We'll find out.
35:22Bret Hart's got an
35:23exclusive interview
35:24on WWE.com
35:25right now
35:26as Khali
35:27unloads
35:28on the superstars
35:29in the ring.
35:31Dating a Punjabi
35:32princess.
35:33Yeah, that'd be
35:34Natalya.
35:35Natty Hart.
35:36We call her Natty.
35:37Natalya Nightheart.
35:38We call her Natty.
35:39But she's not a heart.
35:40We call her Natty Hart.
35:42Sheamus just elipsed
35:43a 20 minute
35:44eclipsed 20 minutes
35:45in the ring here
35:46tonight at the
35:47Royal Rumble match.
35:48I'm upset about
35:49this interspecies
35:50relationship.
35:51Sheamus may not
35:52make 21
35:53as Cesaro looks
35:54to eliminate
35:55Sheamus.
35:56You never dated
35:57outside your species.
35:58Did you just call
35:59it an interspecies
36:00relationship?
36:01Yes.
36:02What is wrong
36:03with you?
36:04You had Anvil's
36:05daughter and the
36:06Punjabi guy here.
36:07He's a Punjabi
36:08giant.
36:09I don't know what
36:10it is.
36:11I don't know how
36:12PETA is allowing
36:13any of that.
36:14Anyway, let's
36:15move to number
36:1624.
36:17Don't get hot.
36:18We're at number
36:1924 already?
36:20This is amazing.
36:21He is one of the
36:22greatest performers
36:23in Royal Rumble
36:24history.
36:25He is entering
36:26his 16th Rumble
36:27in a record
36:28setting 14th
36:29in a row
36:30for the Big Red
36:31Monster Kane.
36:32Listen to some
36:33of these records.
36:342001.
36:3511 straight
36:36wins.
36:372001.
36:3811 superstars
36:39eliminated in one
36:40match.
36:41He went to the
36:42final two that
36:43year before it
36:44was won by Austin.
36:45Kane looking to
36:46eliminate Dolph
36:47Ziggler.
36:48Can he get the
36:49show off out of
36:50the ring?
36:51Dangles again.
36:52Dolph Ziggler
36:53has survived and
36:54survived and
36:55survived and
36:56survived tonight.
36:57I think Ziggler
36:58spent more time
36:59in the apron than
37:00actually in the
37:01ring in this
37:02match.
37:03More time in
37:04the apron than
37:05my old tag team
37:06double team.
37:07The great Khali
37:08but Khali
37:09will get the
37:10upper hand.
37:11Kane overall
37:12in his career
37:13has the third
37:14most eliminations
37:15in Royal Rumble
37:16history at 35.
37:17Look at

38:02At this point
38:03you got a hall

38:10by his own
38:11partner.
38:12His own
38:13tag team partner
38:14Daniel Bryan
38:15eliminated Kane.
38:16Yeah Dr. Shelby
38:17is a genius.
38:18Yeah right
38:19Michael.
38:20Oh man.
38:21Uh oh.
38:22Daniel Bryan's
38:23feet have not
38:24touched.
38:25Moment of truth
38:26for Kane.
38:27Will he
38:28eliminate his
38:29partner?
38:30Can we
38:31allow Bryan
38:32to survive?
38:33Will Kane
38:34eliminate Kane?
38:35I guess you can
38:36call Kane
38:37the goat
38:38in this match
38:39at least from
38:40Daniel Bryan's
38:41point of view.
38:42I call Kane
38:43a goat.
38:44It was a
38:45sports reference
38:46John.

38:49much of it
38:50but anyway
38:51look at Ziggler
38:52Kane's a goat?
38:53Looking to be
38:54eliminated by
