00:00:00Better his time from last year last year. He lasted 50 minutes in the Royal Rumble match
00:00:05You don't want to be referred to as the sexy pinata anymore. No, not anymore because he's out of the cage
00:00:09So here we go Cass and Jericho sizing each other up
00:00:13Chris Jericho two other times in his career entered at number two. Oh
00:00:192003 in 2013
00:00:21And they cast backing Jericho into the corner big right hands to the midsection and the seven-footer goes to work
00:00:27Well, Chris Jericho's I mean, he's a veteran for sure
00:00:31He's got a lot of experience, but sometimes I question his strategy
00:00:34Why would you slap a guy like oh big Cass right in the mouth to start the match?
00:00:39There's a fall away slam from Cassie. No Coria
00:00:42only a
00:00:43To the two tallest winners in Royal Rumble match history big John stud and the Undertaker big Cass
00:00:51It's seven foot would join that elite group. I think surprisingly throughout history the larger the superstar
00:00:56But the worst your luck you almost find yourself as a target in this year's Royal Rumble match
00:01:00There are so many monsters so many Giants
00:01:03You're not gonna have that same situation. Yeah, Chris Jericho looking perhaps to put big Cass into the walls of Jericho
00:01:09But not quite sure what the strategy would be here
00:01:12Maybe Chris is still suffering from a little vertigo from that shark cage. It was really high up there King. I know. Oh
00:01:20In the mouth
00:01:22Jericho set over the top rope lands on the apron remember both feet must hit the floor Jericho high risk here
00:01:29You don't have to want to go up to the top rope it puts you in a position
00:01:33Here comes entry number three and there goes Jericho
00:01:36And making his first Rumble match the parents ever from Smackdown live it's Kalisto
00:01:50Remember it was from the number three spot in 1992 that Ric Flair won the Royal Rumble match went on to win the WWE title that night
00:01:58Listen, I understand Kalisto is excited to take part in the Royal Rumble match, but I don't know if it's the best maneuver to
00:02:04Spend so much energy coming down the aisle full speed ahead like that. You need to conserve your energy. So has plenty of energy left is a
00:02:13Whoa
00:02:14At least oh, oh it caught Jericho with a kick. That is a long trip down that aisle you guys
00:02:1965 yards down there also curious to see if Kalisto will be able to execute his high off
00:02:25Oh my goodness. Oh in trouble on the apron. Oh, he still caught Cass with a kick his high-risk offense as the ring fills up with
00:02:32Superstars, but the least those doing very well thus far
00:02:35Yeah, but big Cass has caught I'm looking to perhaps eliminate Kalisto
00:02:43He's always elusive
00:02:47It's embarrassing
00:02:49Amstrings midsection knees the kicks from Kalisto in one boot by Cass floors the high-flying Kalisto
00:03:00And now Jericho
00:03:03Back to work on big Cass
00:03:06Chris Jericho closing in on history. I'll tell you about that in a moment as we now wait for
00:03:12entry number four
00:03:14Who's it gonna be?
00:03:18From Smackdown Live, Mojo Rawley
00:03:21King I have a feeling you like this kind of guy. He's excitable
00:03:25Mojo qualified at the Smackdown over the top rope challenge this past Tuesday night
00:03:30And there's Mojo Rawley heading to the ring. Smackdown Live's resident blithering idiot
00:03:35That's an insult to idiots. Mojo Rawley
00:03:37That's an insult to idiots. Mojo Rawley
00:03:39Oh, what a shoulder tackle!
00:03:42Rawley a high-octane
00:03:45Offensive style
00:03:46All energy
00:03:47Flooring Jericho there
00:03:50Now big Cass backing Rawley into the corner and now exchanging right hands and look at Rawley fight out
00:03:55Getting scrappy in the corner
00:03:57Mojo Rawley played football at University of Maryland and for the Green Bay Packers
00:04:01He joined other notable football stars to win the Rumble match like Lex Luger and Roman Reigns
00:04:08Or I think his helmet was a little too small though during those
00:04:14He's almost over and out of here. Yeah big Cass looking to eliminate Mojo and now Chris Jericho. There you go
00:04:19That's how you take advantage Ray working with Rawley to try to eliminate the big guy
00:04:23This is what I was talking about the bigger you are the bigger the target on your back in the Royal Rumble match
00:04:31And now Jericho hammering away on big Cass and guys Chris Jericho just made history
00:04:38Chris Jericho now has
00:04:40He's been in the Royal Rumble match
00:04:42Combined longest time in history and over four hours now in his career more than any other superstar ever
00:04:49Any other superstar in history Chris Jericho just made history
00:04:55And entering number five
00:04:57From 205 Live the Cruiserweight show on the WWE Network
00:05:01The gentleman Jack Gallagher
00:05:03The Royal Rumble match is getting injected with a dose of class
00:05:07Jack Gallagher
00:05:09With William III the umbrella
00:05:11And perhaps number five is a lucky number for Jack Gallagher guys because it was
00:05:15From this spot in 1997
00:05:18Stone Cold Steve Austin won right here in the Alamo Dome
00:05:21The first of his back-to-back Rumble wins
00:05:25Jake I don't know if you've had an opportunity to see a lot of
00:05:28Jack Gallagher
00:05:29But he is spectacular so different
00:05:32And let me clarify William III the umbrella is not an official entrant into the Royal Rumble match
00:05:37The first time I saw Jack Gallagher
00:05:39He was wearing all black and I thought he was a closed umbrella
00:05:43Boom
00:05:47Look at Jericho so proud of himself
00:05:49Oh watch your back
00:05:50Better uh look out from behind because Jack Gallagher with umbrella in hand
00:05:54Oh singing in the rain
00:05:58Oh no
00:06:03Talk about embarrassing
00:06:04You're not kidding
00:06:05Gallagher with a dropkick
00:06:07It has not been a great night for Jericho to remember has it?
00:06:10Not yet
00:06:11Tonight William III will never forget I can assure you that
00:06:15And now Cass and Kalisto in the corner
00:06:17Kalisto up on the top rope now does not want to be up there
00:06:20Easier for Cass to dump him over
00:06:22Holy cow
00:06:23Now it sends Kalisto back to the center of the ring
00:06:25Kalisto just finally recovered from being obliterated by Mojo
00:06:29And Mojo again
00:06:29This time trying to get a little payback on Cass who tried to eliminate him earlier on in the matchup
00:06:35And if big Cass had thrown Kalisto in the other direction he had landed in the fourth row
00:06:38We are now awaiting number six
00:06:44Four, three, two, one
00:06:47I love this tension
00:06:48Who's it gonna be?
00:06:50One, two, three, two, three, two, one

00:07:19mark henry mark henry guys last year's rumble it took three men to eliminate mark henry from
00:07:26last year's royal rumble and a loss received mark henry and mark looks reinvigorated
00:07:33i think the bodies are about to start flying mark henry's had a hall of fame career in the
00:07:37wwe but wait what a way to top things off by winning the royal one he goes right after the
00:07:44biggest guy in the ring well the other biggest guy in the ring gallagher's headbutt has taken out many
00:07:51a superstar launched through the ropes that was not an elimination through the ropes remember got
00:07:57to go over the top rope with both feet hitting the floor and mark henry headbutt to jericho trying to
00:08:04to show gallagher how to do those headbutts
00:08:13hook them horns
00:08:18native texan mark henry making a massive impact in the royal rumble match jack gallagher

00:08:52uh-oh raise yourself king this guy's a mountain among men no kidding and you saw what braun strowman did
00:09:00earlier tonight costing roman reigns the wwe universal title what havoc will he wreak here in the rumble
00:09:09as much havoc and braun strowman feels like wreaking michael we know braun strowman only does what
00:09:15braun strowman wants to do you know last year was braun strowman's rookie year in the rumble he'll
00:09:20nana five people he lasted nearly 20 minutes and strowman is back for more look at this guy every time
00:09:27i see braun strowman i wonder where he oh where he parked his blue ox
00:09:30and now mojo raleigh got to give mojo credit taking a ring for braun strowman
00:09:37but braun still on his feet stunned a bit by raleigh splashed in the corner
00:09:41oh my goodness and you hear the voice of chris jericho behind us chris jericho has come over
00:09:51behind me and out while he was just eliminated by strowman oh what a big boot there
00:09:58big cast look at the acceleration of strowman

00:10:13i don't know right but i don't know oh god oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no oh
00:10:25nic karĹźstopas
00:10:29face-to-face these two behemoths
00:10:33we talked about some of the biggest men in his biggest rumble
00:10:36it is two of them, Roman and Henry, exchanging blows
00:10:42you can see Jericho on the outside of your screen
00:10:44Chris Jericho has still entered in the Royal Rumble match
00:10:48Henry's still angry, Mark Henry's still in it
00:10:50Mark Henry's still in it, now he's been eliminated
00:10:52Strowman has eliminated four men in about two minutes
00:10:57he's owning this Royal Rumble
00:10:59he could be on pace to break Roman Reigns' record of 12 set in 2014
00:11:04Braun Strowman single-handedly cleared the entire ring
00:11:07now remember Jericho's still in the match
00:11:09he's been hanging outside the ring here, staying away from Strowman
00:11:11are you blaming?
00:11:13uh-oh, and here's Sami Zayn
00:11:16he drew number 8 in the tumbler role a little bit earlier on tonight
00:11:20he beat Seth Rollins Monday to earn this spot
00:11:23but you know Sami Zayn can't be excited to see
00:11:26Braun Strowman, we know the history between these two
00:11:29look at Sami go!
00:11:30and remember it started at last year's rumble guys
00:11:32Sami Zayn's surprise entry was actually eliminated by Braun Strowman
00:11:35in last year's Royal Rumble match
00:11:38well Sami came in fist to flying but
00:11:41he's cut off quickly now by Strowman
00:11:43Strowman with that primal concrete sledge to the heart of Sami Zayn
00:11:47man, can you imagine if Sami Zayn could eliminate Braun Strowman tonight?
00:11:54you think that would be retribution or revenge for everything Strowman's put Sami through?
00:11:57I'm sure it's crossed Sami Zayn's mind but you gotta be realistic
00:12:00this is- this is-
00:12:01insanity
00:12:02Sami still in it lands on his feet
00:12:04hey hey hey hey
00:12:05Sami Zayn may have had delusions of grandeur
00:12:08get him up
00:12:09he went for that suplex but perhaps it's gonna-
00:12:10it's gonna allow Sami Zayn to eliminate Strowman here
00:12:13listen we know if nothing else Sami Zayn is defiant
00:12:16he is a tough individual
00:12:18there is no point in Zayn but maybe right now there should be
00:12:21I don't know if there's any one man in this Rumble that could eliminate that guy by themselves
00:12:26I don't know who they- who it is
00:12:27Braun Strowman has just been on this incredible
00:12:31just path of carnage over the past number of months
00:12:34now look out
00:12:35destroying and eliminating everything in his path
00:12:38he's already eliminated four men from this Rumble match tonight
00:12:41as we now await entry number nine
00:12:44five, four, three, two, one
00:12:48two
00:12:50two
00:12:51three
00:12:52three
00:12:53a man spoke too soon
00:12:56I think this guy can eliminate Strowman by himself
00:12:59I'm sure the Big Show intends on finding out
00:13:02but I also don't believe Braun Strowman has any intention
00:13:06of receding the ring
00:13:08he was a Big Show
00:13:10The World's largest athlete
00:13:11The Big Show
00:13:12face to face with a monster among men
00:13:15Braun Strowman
00:13:17This is the 12th appearance in his career for Big Show.
00:13:22Second most in Rumble history, tied with Shawn Michaels behind Kane 17.
00:13:27Big Show has eliminated 31 people in the Royal Rumble match.
00:13:32But guys, last year, last year's Royal Rumble match, Braun Strowman eliminated the Big Show.
00:13:38Well, I remember that well.
00:13:39I'm sure the Big Show does as well.
00:13:41You're right about that.
00:13:42Big Show looks to be in the best shape of his life.
00:13:44Notice how the Big Show's icy gaze has not broken.
00:13:48Eyes locked on the monster.
00:13:49This is an incredible moment.
00:13:51What a moment.
00:13:52Big Show and Braun Strowman picking up where they left off on Raw Monday night.
00:13:57Locked.
00:13:58Big Show.
00:13:59Big right hands to the big section of Strowman.
00:14:03Oh, it goes Big Show with a wicked clothesline.
00:14:07A single clothesline from Strowman just fell to Big Show.
00:14:10I don't know that I've ever seen that before.
00:14:11Now, Sami Zayn is still in this match.
00:14:14As is Chris Jericho, who's still roaming around out here at ringside, staying out of the fray.
00:14:20I'll tell you something.
00:14:21This Braun Strowman.
00:14:23And Strowman.
00:14:25Can he eliminate Big Show?
00:14:26Oh, Big Show caught it.
00:14:27Uh-oh.
00:14:28Big Show.
00:14:28Choke slam position for Strowman.
00:14:30He got it.
00:14:31Choke slam to Strowman.
00:14:34And now Jericho slides back in.
00:14:37Remember, these guys used to be best friends, Jericho and Big Show.
00:14:39Jericho was thinking Codebreaker, but I...
00:14:43Oh!
00:14:44Oh, good night.
00:14:45Oh, the bigger they are, the harder they hit.
00:14:46You know, WMD, the big old KO punch from Big Show.
00:14:50Give him one.
00:14:51Uh-oh.
00:14:53This is unbelievable.
00:14:54This is incredible.
00:14:55The world's largest athlete.
00:14:56Strowman, though, lands on his feet.
00:14:58And there's power at his own way.
00:15:00Oh, my God.
00:15:01Braun Strowman.
00:15:03This is amazing.
00:15:05The stalemate between two monsters.
00:15:08Uh-oh.
00:15:09Big Show.
00:15:09Big Show.
00:15:09He's got the leverage.
00:15:10No way.
00:15:11He's got the leverage.
00:15:12Strowman, we're going to eliminate the Big Show.
00:15:14Big Show hanging on for dear life.
00:15:16Big Show desperately trying to help him.
00:15:17No, no, no, no.
00:15:18Big Show eliminated by Strowman.
00:15:21Five eliminations from Braun Strowman.
00:15:24Well, here comes number 10.
00:15:32The tension's still palpable between Big Show and Strowman.
00:15:36I hate to admit, Big Show was my pick to win it.
00:15:38Oh, no!
00:15:38Guys!
00:15:40Wait a minute!
00:15:41What?
00:15:41NXT!
00:15:44It's a perfect 10!
00:15:46In the 10 position!
00:15:48Ty Dillinger is in the Royal Rumble match.
00:15:51I can't believe it.
00:15:54Ty Dillinger in his first Royal Rumble match.
00:16:00Unfortunately, Ty Dillinger at number 10 has to come in and face one-on-one Braun Strowman.
00:16:05What a match Dillinger had at NXT TakeOver last night with Eric Young of Saturday.
00:16:09And now Dillinger trying to take out Strowman.
00:16:11Dillinger wasted no time taking the fight to Strowman.
00:16:14One thing we've learned about Dillinger, Corey.
00:16:16You've covered his career.
00:16:17He never gives up, does he?
00:16:18Dillinger, one of the most wildly popular superstars in NXT.
00:16:22You listen to the Alamo Dome rockin'.
00:16:23Ten, ten, ten.
00:16:25They're screaming.
00:16:26And now Sami Zayn from behind.
00:16:29Sami Zayn extremely familiar with Dillinger from their time together in NXT.
00:16:33An alliance of sorts is what's needed.
00:16:36You want any chance against Braun Strowman?
00:16:38Yeah, two men forming a team to try to take out Braun Strowman.
00:16:43Dillinger from behind again.
00:16:44Well, the good thing about teamwork is you never have to take all the blame yourself.
00:16:50Let's see what's gonna happen here with these two.
00:16:52Sami calling for Dillinger to help out here.
00:16:54Yeah.
00:16:55Help, help.
00:16:55No way.
00:16:56What on earth?
00:16:57No way.
00:16:58Can they do it?
00:16:59Can they do it?
00:17:00Oh my God.
00:17:01No, but Strowman with a double superstars of his own.
00:17:05Here comes number 11.
00:17:10Wait a minute.
00:17:11Well, I guess the WWE Universe has spoken.
00:17:14James Ellsworth has been all over social media lobbying for a spot in this matchup.
00:17:19And there's, I guess, his new girlfriend, Corey, Carmella.
00:17:22Carmella's the best possible thing that could have happened to Ellsworth.
00:17:25Ellsworth's career has skyrocketed since these two came together.
00:17:29This guy's a total waste of skin.
00:17:31How on the earth did he get a place in the Royal Rumble?
00:17:34King James Ellsworth has taken AJ Styles to the limit on multiple occasions.
00:17:38You just like him because you two obviously share the same armor.
00:17:41He's a joke.
00:17:42Get him out of here.
00:17:45And Ellsworth, Carmella trying to get Ellsworth into the ring.
00:17:49And Ellsworth does not want to get in there with Braun Strowman.
00:17:51Don't forget the very first time the WWE Universe ever saw James Ellsworth.
00:17:54He was being destroyed by Braun Strowman.
00:17:56And from behind, Shane, Shane and Dillinger from behind.
00:17:59Look at him eliminate Strowman.
00:18:01Strowman trying to hang on.
00:18:02The big man's in trouble.
00:18:03He's hanging on.
00:18:04Feed up the touch.
00:18:05Feed up the touch.
00:18:06And Strowman gets his way back to the apron.
00:18:07They're not doing him yet, though.
00:18:08Braun Strowman with the vice-like grip on the ropes.
00:18:12Strongman background coming into play as he runs through two.
00:18:16And guys, that could have been the best opportunity
00:18:18to eliminate Braun Strowman in this match.
00:18:20Yeah, but I can tell you this.
00:18:21If they had eliminated Braun Strowman off of that distraction
00:18:23from James Ellsworth, Ellsworth would be a grease spot right now.
00:18:28Corey made the point.
00:18:29Strowman destroyed Ellsworth in Ellsworth's very first match here
00:18:31in WWE.
00:18:33He didn't do a good enough job.
00:18:34Ellsworth is still standing over there.
00:18:36Number 12!
00:18:37This could get interesting.
00:18:46We know Dean Ambrose is absolutely fearless.
00:18:51We're about to find out what the lunatic bridge is made of
00:18:53when he goes toe-to-toe with a monster among men.
00:18:57Yeah, get rid of him, Dean.
00:18:58Ambrose is an intercontinental champion,
00:19:00but also has had quite a relationship
00:19:02over the past few months with James Ellsworth.
00:19:04He doesn't come up at Ellsworth!
00:19:06Let's go!
00:19:07Hey, three!
00:19:07Ambrose in his fourth Royal Rumble match.
00:19:10Ellsworth is in.
00:19:11No, he's...
00:19:11Well, Dean decided not to go along.
00:19:13Oh, that's great.
00:19:14And Ellsworth ran right into Strowman.
00:19:15Even a lunatic and outsmart Ellsworth, apparently.
00:19:18This is the earliest Dean Ambrose has ever entered
00:19:21the Royal Rumble match in his career.
00:19:22Oh, God, no, no, no, no.
00:19:23Ellsworth eliminated!
00:19:24That is elimination number six for Braun Strowman.
00:19:28Again, Roman Reigns' record of 12 eliminations could be in jeopardy.
00:19:31Oh, look at Ambrose!
00:19:33Cagey maneuver!
00:19:34Watch this!
00:19:34Watch this!
00:19:35Watch this landing!
00:19:36Oh!
00:19:39Meanwhile, Ambrose with an elbow off the top rope
00:19:41trying to take Braun Strowman out.
00:19:42That hurt just watching Ellsworth.
00:19:44Now Ellsworth needs a hip replacement.
00:19:46Well, the good news is Carmella can nurse him back to health.
00:19:47And let's not forget, guys, last year,
00:19:50Dean Ambrose finished second in the Royal Rumble match
00:19:54and she was eliminated by the winner, Triple H.
00:19:56Uh-oh, uh-oh.
00:19:56Oh!
00:19:59Knee right up.
00:20:00It was the ear.
00:20:01Knee right.
00:20:02And now Dillinger with a drop kick.
00:20:04Right in the mouth!
00:20:05Incredible height.
00:20:06Vertical leap by Ty Dillinger.
00:20:09Now we got not a double team,
00:20:10but a triple team working on Strowman.
00:20:13Oh, what a right hand.
00:20:15Strowman blasting Zane.
00:20:16And again, Corey, I ask you this question on Raw every week.
00:20:19Who's going to stop this guy?
00:20:21Wallace.
00:20:21If it can be done, we'll find out tonight
00:20:23because 29 superstars have the opportunity.
00:20:26That said, I don't see anyone being able to do it.
00:20:28Here comes number 13.
00:20:31That's an unlucky number.
00:20:32Oh, this is about to get good.
00:20:38Oh, yes it is.
00:20:39Smackdown Live's Lone Wolf, Baron Corbin.
00:20:42Remember Baron Corbin's first match ever in WWE?
00:20:45He won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at Wrestlemania
00:20:50so he can win a match like this.
00:20:51Corbin is staring a hole through Strowman.
00:20:55Now we got four on one.
00:20:57Yeah, Baron Corbin entering at number 13.
00:21:00Gentlemen, I believe this particular moment.
00:21:02Oh, Strowman battling out.
00:21:04Oh!
00:21:04Big boot to Corbin.
00:21:06Dillinger eliminated.
00:21:08That's elimination number seven by Strowman.
00:21:10Thanks for coming, Ty.
00:21:14It's interesting, the 13 number for Baron Corbin.
00:21:16That is the spot where Axa Jim Duggan
00:21:19won the very first Royal Rumble match in 1988.
00:21:22Ambrose with a drop kick from the top rope
00:21:24and still, oh my goodness, the impact behind Corbin.
00:21:27Oh, how do you know all this information?
00:21:29I bet you know where Hidden Valley Ranch is.
00:21:30I did my homework.
00:21:31Zane with a big hallouba kick.
00:21:34Caught him right in the jaw.
00:21:35Now I...
00:21:35And now Corbin!
00:21:36Eliminate Strowman!
00:21:37Whoa!
00:21:38Eliminate Strowman!
00:21:40Corbin!
00:21:40Eliminate Strowman!
00:21:42Michael Cole, you've been asking me for months,
00:21:44how do you stop Braun Strowman?
00:21:46You do it with a lone wolf.
00:21:50And now Dean Ambrose causes attention with 30 deeds
00:21:53to Baron Corbin.
00:21:55And I'm still in shock.
00:21:57Braun Strowman eliminated right before our very eyes.
00:21:59Watch this.
00:22:00The hallouba kick by Zane.
00:22:02That must have felt good for standing.
00:22:03That rattled him.
00:22:04This is what took him out.
00:22:05Head full of steam.
00:22:07Taking the monster among men out of the Royal Rumble match
00:22:10with authority.
00:22:12And now it's Sami Zang.
00:22:13We're going to eliminate the Intercontinental Champion
00:22:15as we wait for number 14 to enter this matchup.
00:22:18Dean stays in it.
00:22:20And I wouldn't want to be around Braun Strowman
00:22:21for about the next three or four weeks.
00:22:24It's a new day yesterday!
00:22:26Here we go!
00:22:27Who is it?
00:22:30Kofi Kingston.
00:22:31The first member of New Day to enter the Royal Rumble match.
00:22:34And this is Kofi's ninth Royal Rumble.
00:22:35But think about all the ways over the years, guys.
00:22:37Kofi Kingston has survived to stay in the Rumble match.
00:22:40Some of the greatest feats we've ever seen.
00:22:42No kidding.
00:22:43Kofi Kingston always spectacular.
00:22:45But you know,
00:22:45he doesn't want to be known in history
00:22:46as the guy that always almost won it
00:22:49but got eliminated in two ways.
00:22:50Nope, nobody does.
00:22:52Kofi Kingston wants to win the thing.
00:22:55Now Sami looking to eliminate Dean.
00:22:56Dean hangs on on the other side.
00:22:58Kofi Kingston now from behind
00:22:59looking to eliminate Sami Zayn.
00:23:01And now Baron Corbin blasting Sami.
00:23:02Big right hand by Baron Corbin
00:23:10drops Kofi Kingston.
00:23:14You were out here.
00:23:15Remember the one year that
00:23:15Kofi Kingston used JBL's chair like a pogo stick?
00:23:19I was just trying to think of all the different...
00:23:21I think we've seen him...
00:23:22Oh, Kofi under the bottom rope, still in it!
00:23:24I think we've seen Kofi do handstands,
00:23:25walk on his hands, all sorts of things.
00:23:27Corbin is an absolutely horrifying blend
00:23:29of power, speed, and intensity.
00:23:32Incredibly agile for a man of his size.
00:23:34And man, does Corbin hit hard.
00:23:35And Corey, can you imagine the confidence now
00:23:37in Corbin after eliminating Braun Strowman?
00:23:40You can see it in Corbin's eyes
00:23:41when he walked to the ring.
00:23:42Corbin was feeling confident.
00:23:43He feels like he deserves to be in the ring
00:23:45with the Undertakers, with Brock Lesnar,
00:23:48with some of the biggest names in the game.
00:23:49Well, Corey, is he your new pick to win?
00:23:51You going with Corbin?
00:23:52I wouldn't bet against him, Corbin.
00:23:53And we're now halfway through with number 15.
00:23:58Oh, I might bet on this guy.
00:24:01He's a veteran of Royal Rumble matches
00:24:04accompanied by his wife, Maryse.
00:24:06The Miz enters his 10th Royal Rumble match.
00:24:09He is 8th all-time.
00:24:11I actually know for a fact that he's going to win.
00:24:14He told me so himself.
00:24:16I was actually hoping The Miz would at least hang around
00:24:18until the very end because we would get to see Maryse,
00:24:20but she went to the back.
00:24:21So I don't really care what happens to him now.
00:24:23It's been an interesting number of years for The Miz
00:24:26in the Royal Rumble match.
00:24:28There's the skull-crushing finale to Sami Zayn.
00:24:31One year, I went for the Dirty Deeds,
00:24:33and remember Miz and Ambrose had that Lumberjack match
00:24:35at SmackDown Live this past Tuesday night.
00:24:37Oh, what a clothesline.
00:24:39A lot of bad blood between The Miz and Ambrose.
00:24:42You know it made me...
00:24:42Ambrose still in it, dangling.
00:24:45It survives for now.
00:24:47You know what?
00:24:48You know Miz would love to be the one to be able to say
00:24:50he eliminated Dean Ambrose in the Royal Rumble match.
00:24:52You know, one year, Corey, Miz was eliminated by the great Khali.
00:24:56Another year, he was eliminated King by Hornswain.
00:24:59How embarrassing.
00:25:00You never live that down.
00:25:02And Miz...
00:25:02Oh, man!
00:25:03Deep six!
00:25:04Deep six from Corbin.
00:25:08Corbin using Miz's own momentum against him
00:25:10and a little extra mustard on that, huh?
00:25:12Lucky for Miz, there was nobody standing up to throw him out at that.
00:25:14And now Kofi Kingston.
00:25:16Oh!
00:25:18Kingston unceremoniously dumped.
00:25:20Yeah, this Corbin, he's something special.
00:25:22He is impressive.
00:25:24Baron Corbin has a chip on his shoulder as big as the state of Texas.
00:25:28Oh!
00:25:29Kofi's still fighting back.
00:25:30It's really risky to go up to the top rope in this Royal Rumble match.
00:25:35Yeah, it doesn't take much to knock you right out into the backside area.
00:25:39What's he doing?
00:25:40What's Kofi doing?
00:25:40I don't know, but he's got to get down from there
00:25:42because Baron Corbin's got his sights set on Kofi Kingston.
00:25:44Oh, my God, Kofi!
00:25:47Kofi Kingston about impaled himself on the ring post.
00:25:49But he still was able to hang on somehow.
00:25:52How on earth?
00:25:53Now Kofi, trouble in paradise!
00:25:57If I had fired Kofi up, it would have knocked me out.
00:25:59I can't believe Kofi doesn't have a few broken ribs
00:26:02after spilling down onto the top of the ring post like that.
00:26:05My God!
00:26:06Entry number 16 is next.
00:26:08Five, four, three, two, one!
00:26:14Oh, and this guy's going to be in the mood.
00:26:19Sheamus and Cesaro lost the tag team titles earlier tonight
00:26:22on the kickoff show to Anderson and Gallows.
00:26:25And you know he's about to take it out on somebody.
00:26:28Corey, here's a man who, in 2012,
00:26:30won the Royal Rumble match from the 22 position.
00:26:33From the look in Sheamus' eyes,
00:26:35he thinks he's going to do it again tonight.
00:26:37What a way to redeem the evening.
00:26:39Yeah, you lost your tag team championship,
00:26:40but you could still headline WrestleMania.
00:26:42How good has Sheamus been in the Royal Rumble matchup?
00:26:45Man!
00:26:46Only Sheamus and Randy Orton
00:26:48have been in four or more final fours
00:26:52in the Rumble match over the past decade.
00:26:53That's how good Sheamus has been in this match.
00:26:56Celtic Warrior laying waste to everything,
00:26:58moving inside the ring.
00:26:59Yes, he is.
00:27:01I don't blame you.
00:27:02I'd run two, Miz.
00:27:03Oh, no.
00:27:06Ten baits it up, Bowderick.
00:27:10The A-lister.
00:27:12Feeling it.
00:27:14Going to need some of that Hollywood plastic kick.
00:27:16Oh, bro, bro, kick!
00:27:19And look at Kofi once again.
00:27:20Yeah, watch, watch, watch his face.
00:27:23Look at this.
00:27:23Oh!
00:27:25Obviously, somehow Kofi was able to
00:27:27minimize the impact on the ring post,
00:27:29but I don't know how.
00:27:30Incredible, incredible athleticism
00:27:32being able to maintain the grip.
00:27:34Look at Sheamus, guys.
00:27:35Looking to eliminate Sheamus,
00:27:36the Celtic Warrior in trouble.
00:27:39Ambrose and Sami Zayn.
00:27:41Sheamus just trying to hang on,
00:27:42fighting back.
00:27:43Jericho is out cold.
00:27:45Broke kick.
00:27:46Meanwhile, Kofi looking to eliminate Baron Corbin
00:27:48as we now look at number 17.
00:27:52Three, two, one.
00:27:57Oh, San Antonio!
00:28:00Don't you dare be sour!
00:28:03Clap for your longest reigning tension
00:28:06and feel the power!
00:28:10It's a new day.
00:28:11Yes, it is!
00:28:13And it's the second New Day member
00:28:14to enter this matchup.
00:28:15It's the third Rumble for Big E.
00:28:18It's going to be interesting to see now
00:28:20how Big E and Kofi Kingston
00:28:22play in this Royal Rumble match.
00:28:25Can't you think they're going to work together
00:28:26as a team?
00:28:26They have to.
00:28:28I mean, you know,
00:28:28they're going to have to work together
00:28:30if they want to get anything done,
00:28:31and then maybe if it wound up down
00:28:32to them two being the last two,
00:28:34then they'll go against each other.
00:28:35But until then,
00:28:36they've got to work together.
00:28:37Big E going right for the abdominal stretch
00:28:39early on.
00:28:39It is.
00:28:40Unusual strategy by Big E.
00:28:41Maybe he's not taking this Royal Rumble
00:28:47as serious as he should have.
00:28:48I think he is.
00:28:49I think he's just having fun
00:28:49with the 52,020 WWE fans
00:28:53on hand here tonight
00:28:54at the Alamo Dome.
00:28:54Did you say 52,020?
00:28:56No.
00:28:5750,020.
00:28:5850,020?
00:28:59No, 52,020.
00:29:00You get me confused now, King.
00:29:02I was right the first or second time.
00:29:04Seamus and Corbin.
00:29:05Look at New Day working together.
00:29:07Told you.
00:29:08Ambrose and Sami Zayn.
00:29:09Take a look in the corner,
00:29:11the matchup of Baron Corbin and Seamus.
00:29:14Two big, rugged superstars
00:29:16throwing down Seamus.
00:29:18Sami lands on the apron.
00:29:19Seamus in control right now.
00:29:21This is what's great
00:29:22about the Royal Rumble match.
00:29:23You see matchups and collisions
00:29:24you never thought you'd see.
00:29:27And we are now awaiting number 18.
00:29:29Six, five, four, three, two, one.
00:29:35Who's it gonna be?
00:29:36Rusev, Udria, Rusev, Matzka.
00:29:42Things are gonna change now.
00:29:47Rusev suffered a broken nose last week
00:29:49on Monday Night Raw.
00:29:51On the receiving end of a Kofi Kingston crossbody.
00:29:54You know Rusev hasn't forgotten.
00:29:56Coming in, of course, by Lana,
00:29:58his wife Rusev entering his fourth Rumble.
00:30:02Last year he entered number two.
00:30:03This guy is massive.
00:30:05And Rusev, oh, look at,
00:30:06going right after Mez
00:30:07and now right after Dean Ambrose.
00:30:09Super athlete living up to the moniker.
00:30:11Look at the speed.
00:30:12Just taking out a whole pile in the corner.
00:30:14He's going after anything that moves.
00:30:16Rusev, that spit kick caught Seamus.
00:30:21Remember, these guys used to be buddies
00:30:23in the League of Nations.
00:30:25I don't think not tonight.
00:30:26Bulgarian Brood has anybody's tonight.
00:30:28It's truly friend versus friend,
00:30:30foe versus foe.
00:30:31Every man.
00:30:33Dunk lands on the apron, still in it.
00:30:35And Rusev not paying total attention here.
00:30:37He's not finishing the job.
00:30:38He starts.
00:30:39Got to make sure once you throw somebody
00:30:40over that top, their feet hit the floor.
00:30:47Ring beginning to fill up with WWE superstars.
00:30:51Starting to get crowded, King.
00:30:52Yes, it is.
00:30:52What an uppercut by the Celtic Warrior.
00:30:58Don't mess up the A-lister's dental work, Seamus.
00:31:02Rusev bounced around the ring tonight,
00:31:04but he's still in it.
00:31:05Seamus now.
00:31:06Oh, what a running knee.
00:31:08Harley Race be proud.
00:31:11I love it when they get this many superstars in there.
00:31:14Chaos, panic, disorder.
00:31:18Oh, and here comes number 19.
00:31:21Seamus' tag team partner, Cesaro,
00:31:23again losing their tag team titles earlier tonight.
00:31:26He should be in a foul mood as well.
00:31:28I'm sure Seamus is probably as excited
00:31:30as anybody to hear this music,
00:31:31but we also know that if it comes down to it,
00:31:34Seamus and Cesaro hang each other all day.
00:31:36Watch out!
00:31:39Again.
00:31:39Cesaro going for the swing.
00:31:42Just keep swinging.
00:31:43Use him as a weapon.
00:31:44Put these guys down.
00:31:47Oh, no.
00:31:49Dean Ambrose is already dizzy.
00:31:51Everybody in the Rumble match
00:31:57going swinging.
00:31:59And number 19, where Cesaro entered,
00:32:01been a great number the last couple of years.
00:32:02No way.
00:32:03No way.
00:32:04Reigns 2015 winning from that spot.
00:32:07All that spinning finally got to Cesaro.
00:32:10He may be a Swiss Superman,
00:32:11but maybe I spoke too soon.
00:32:14What?
00:32:15Baron Corbin is a monster of a man.
00:32:23It's your partner.
00:32:25It's every man for himself, Cesaro.
00:32:27Go for it.
00:32:29Listen to the universe.
00:32:31Rusev threw some careful strategy
00:32:36with the last man standing at the moment.
00:32:39The only man standing.
00:32:39Rusev looking to eliminate Cesaro.
00:32:48Dean Ambrose in a lot of trouble here.
00:32:49You can really tell if he went over the top
00:32:54or through the second rope.
00:32:56And here comes number 20.
00:33:00Well, you got to know now,
00:33:02it's Xavier Woods,
00:33:03third member of the New Day.
00:33:05Guys, this should give the New Day
00:33:06a tremendous advantage here.
00:33:07All three members in the Royal Rumble match
00:33:11at the same time?
00:33:13And Xavier Woods' very first Royal Rumble match.
00:33:16I don't know, King.
00:33:17We always hear the New Day
00:33:18talk about their unbreakable bond
00:33:19with one another.
00:33:20I think...
00:33:20Oh!
00:33:21I think this may be the night.
00:33:23This may be the situation
00:33:24that destroys the New Day.
00:33:26At least I hope.
00:33:28Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods
00:33:29having their way with Sheamus.
00:33:31Oh!
00:33:33Rapid-fire assault from Kofi and Woods.
00:33:36That's good strategy.
00:33:37That's the way they got to work.
00:33:38Well, don't forget,
00:33:38Sheamus and Cesaro
00:33:39lost to New Day
00:33:40their record-setting tag team title rank.
00:33:42Big E, big splash!
00:33:46Looks like New Day
00:33:47certainly hadn't forgotten it.
00:33:49Now Cesaro.
00:33:50Cesaro trying to eliminate Big E.
00:33:54Big E on the apron, hanging on.
00:33:57Corbin and Rusev
00:33:58still trading rights and lefts
00:34:00in the corner.
00:34:05Whoa, now Xavier.
00:34:07Stealing it, lands on the apron.
00:34:08Kofi Kingston launched
00:34:09onto the shoulders of Xavier Woods
00:34:12who saved his buddy.
00:34:13Passes him back to Miz.
00:34:14Kofi apron, other side.
00:34:16Dangerous situation
00:34:17for Kofi and Xavier Woods out there.
00:34:19Oh, Miz.
00:34:20He is in trouble now.
00:34:21Oh!
00:34:22Oh, man!
00:34:22Into a pair of New Day boots.
00:34:24Triple team.
00:34:25Number 21 on his way.
00:34:28Miz almost eliminated.
00:34:29Miz still hanging on.
00:34:30Oh, what an uppercut.
00:34:41You know what this means.
00:34:47Bray Wyatt, the patriarch of the Wyatt family.
00:34:49You have to wonder
00:34:50if all this internal strike within the Wyatt family
00:34:52over the past few weeks
00:34:53is going to bother Bray Wyatt here tonight
00:34:56as he enters the Royal Rumble match.
00:34:58Are you kidding me?
00:34:58It's probably helped prepare Bray Wyatt
00:35:00better than any other superstar.
00:35:02Turmoil in the Wyatt family.
00:35:05Bray Wyatt's only concerned with one person right now,
00:35:08and it's himself.
00:35:08That's how it needs to be
00:35:09to win the Royal Rumble match.
00:35:11Bray Wyatt's third Royal Rumble match.
00:35:13He lasted 46 minutes
00:35:14and eliminated seven men two years ago.
00:35:17Yeah, but it's not often.
00:35:18Look at all the fireflies
00:35:20in the San Antonio Alamo Dome.
00:35:22Well, Bray Wyatt's going to need that support
00:35:23because it's not often
00:35:24that you see him going alone,
00:35:26going in there on his own
00:35:28without a Wyatt family member.
00:35:30Oh!
00:35:31Oh!
00:35:32Oh!
00:35:33Man!
00:35:33And here in Nagi Planting.
00:35:36This has been taking a tremendous amount of hours.
00:35:39Look out.
00:35:39Bray Wyatt is so fast for a man of his size.
00:35:42And now Rusev trying to confront Bray Wyatt.
00:35:44Bray Wyatt going after just about anybody in his path.
00:35:49This Bray Wyatt is so creepy.
00:35:50Yeah, remember the issue between
00:35:52Xavier Woods and Bray Wyatt months ago?
00:35:54The issue is that Xavier Woods
00:35:55is completely terrified of Bray Wyatt
00:35:57on every level.
00:35:58And Xavier Woods looking to put that fear behind him
00:36:00as he runs in.
00:36:01Uh-oh!
00:36:01Sister Abigail time!
00:36:03Xavier Woods spins out of it.
00:36:07Oh, man!
00:36:08What a close line!
00:36:11Just stay away from him, Xavier.
00:36:13I think right now,
00:36:14Woods is wishing he'd stayed in the back
00:36:15and played his video game channel.
00:36:17Yeah, Bray Wyatt has been dominating
00:36:19SmackDown Live
00:36:20with Randy Orton and Luke Harper.
00:36:23New Day and Cesaro and Sheamus.
00:36:25Again, the history between them
00:36:26we've talked about.
00:36:27Kofi went over the top rope
00:36:31but he's still on the apron here.
00:36:32He's got Sheamus and Cesaro
00:36:33throwing hands with New Day.
00:36:35Woods and Kofi
00:36:36in a precarious position right now.
00:36:38And with number 22 on his way.
00:36:40Here comes Apollo Crews
00:36:49from SmackDown Live
00:36:50his very first Royal Rumble match.
00:36:53And here's a Kim Kory with all the tools.
00:36:54I couldn't agree with you anymore.
00:36:57Apollo Crews
00:36:58insanely strong,
00:37:00fast, agile.
00:37:02You're right.
00:37:02All of the tools.
00:37:03A big win
00:37:04in the Royal Rumble match
00:37:06would do wonders
00:37:07for his career.
00:37:07He's going to need to use
00:37:08every bit of that speed
00:37:09and agility
00:37:10because this ring
00:37:11is full of superstars
00:37:12that all want to win
00:37:12this Royal Rumble match.
00:37:13And Bray Wyatt
00:37:14kicked in the midsection
00:37:15slows the momentum
00:37:16of Apollo Crews.
00:37:17Dean Ambrose goes after Bray.
00:37:18They've had a long history.
00:37:20Because it is really crowded
00:37:21in there now, isn't it?
00:37:22And still on the apron,
00:37:23Xavier and Kofi
00:37:24still hanging in there.
00:37:25Big E trying to prevent
00:37:26his teammates
00:37:27from being eliminated.
00:37:28Dragging both Xavier
00:37:30and Kofi back in.
00:37:32What?
00:37:33And now Sheamus and Cesaro
00:37:34eliminated all three members
00:37:36of the New Day.
00:37:37Oh man, oh man.
00:37:40Look at this.
00:37:41Look at this.
00:37:42And now Sheamus,
00:37:43Cesaro,
00:37:44eliminated by Jericho.
00:37:46Oh my gosh.
00:37:48Look how proud
00:37:49Jericho is of himself.
00:37:50Look at these two.
00:37:52Look at these two.
00:37:53Trying to eliminate
00:37:54one another.
00:37:56It was only a matter of time.
00:37:57It's every man for himself.
00:38:00Friend versus friend,
00:38:01foe versus foe.
00:38:03Yeah, I don't know if,
00:38:04I don't know if,
00:38:05uh,
00:38:06Sheamus is going to have
00:38:07much luck trying to
00:38:08explain that to Cesaro.
00:38:12And as Sheamus and Cesaro
00:38:13continue to
00:38:14go face to face,
00:38:16we,
00:38:17you think we've seen
00:38:17the last of that tag team?
00:38:19Look for number 23.
00:38:20And here's the man
00:38:28who won the 2009
00:38:30Royal Rumble match.
00:38:32Randy Orton.
00:38:33Out of nowhere.
00:38:34Out of nowhere.
00:38:35This is his eighth Rumble.
00:38:36He's eliminated
00:38:3719 men over the years.
00:38:40Hey Corey,
00:38:41what's interesting
00:38:42about the number 23 position?
00:38:44There have been
00:38:44three winners
00:38:45from this spot
00:38:46over the years.
00:38:47All right,
00:38:47I'm picking Randy Orton.
00:38:49That's my pick.
00:38:50It's hard to bet
00:38:50against Randy Orton.
00:38:52Especially coming in
00:38:53at number 23.
00:38:54Randy Orton
00:38:54who had to go
00:38:55face to face
00:38:55with his quiet
00:38:56family brother
00:38:57Luke Harper
00:38:57this past Tuesday night.
00:38:59Smackdown live
00:39:00and ended up
00:39:00with Harper running
00:39:01into his sister Abigail
00:39:02by Bray Wyatt.
00:39:03Now Bray and Corbin.
00:39:04Oh!
00:39:05RKO!
00:39:05Out of nowhere!
00:39:09RKO!
00:39:09RKO!
00:39:11Russo may just
00:39:11have his nose rebroken.
00:39:17Sami Zayn
00:39:18from the second row
00:39:19top rope.
00:39:19Oh!
00:39:20Oh!
00:39:21A ditch!
00:39:22Randy Orton!
00:39:23That was a thing
00:39:23of beauty right there!
00:39:26Sami Zayn,
00:39:27now you need
00:39:27some new teeth!
00:39:28And you see
00:39:28Chris Jericho
00:39:29in the corner
00:39:29watching the Wyatt
00:39:30family pose.
00:39:31Chris Jericho
00:39:32has been in this
00:39:32Royal Rumble match
00:39:33over 42 minutes.
00:39:35He started
00:39:35at number two.
00:39:37This is an alliance
00:39:38I'm afraid of.
00:39:39Ray Wyatt
00:39:39and Randy Orton
00:39:40together
00:39:41working as a
00:39:42cohesive unit
00:39:42within the
00:39:43Royal Rumble match
00:39:44to change
00:39:45the entire
00:39:46complexion
00:39:46of the WWE.
00:39:47Yes, it can.
00:39:50Ambrose in trouble.
00:39:51Now he's down.
00:39:54Number 24
00:39:55coming next.
00:39:575, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:40:03I'm here to love.
00:40:06From SmackDown Live,
00:40:10Dolph Ziggler
00:40:10who has a very
00:40:11different attitude
00:40:13as of late
00:40:13as you can attest
00:40:14to, King.
00:40:15Yeah, right.
00:40:17I like it, King.
00:40:19I think Dolph Ziggler's
00:40:20new attitude
00:40:20is exactly what he needs.
00:40:23Dolph Ziggler
00:40:23kicked King in the stomach
00:40:24a couple of weeks ago
00:40:25on SmackDown Live,
00:40:26part of King's court.
00:40:27Ziggler now
00:40:28with superkicks around.
00:40:29This is a
00:40:31Dolph Ziggler's
00:40:32ninth
00:40:33Royal Rumble match.
00:40:34Poor Rusev's face.
00:40:36Oh, man!
00:40:38Double DDT.
00:40:41Well,
00:40:41he can change
00:40:42his attitude
00:40:43all he wants to.
00:40:44He's gonna have to
00:40:45go a long way
00:40:45to prove to me
00:40:46that he's gonna be
00:40:46anything other than
00:40:47what he's been
00:40:48for the past
00:40:48few months here.
00:40:50That's a loser.
00:40:50What if he wins
00:40:51the Royal Rumble match
00:40:52tonight?
00:40:53Okay, I'll eat my words.
00:40:54Miz
00:40:55still alive
00:40:56on the apron.
00:40:57Now Dean and Dolph
00:40:58going at one another.
00:41:00Jericho goes after Miz.
00:41:03Uh-oh, Dean
00:41:04looking to eliminate
00:41:04Dolph Ziggler.
00:41:05Dolph,
00:41:06top rope.
00:41:08Can I be excused
00:41:09for a minute
00:41:10and maybe go up there
00:41:10and grab his feet?
00:41:12He did do that one, yeah?
00:41:16Look at Jericho.
00:41:21And we now look
00:41:22for number 25,
00:41:23Tanner the fray.
00:41:24Randy Orton
00:41:24working over
00:41:24Baron Corbin
00:41:25in the corner
00:41:26over there
00:41:26and down there.
00:41:27Baron Corbin
00:41:28coming back
00:41:28with those big
00:41:29right hands.
00:41:38And the third member
00:41:39of the Wyatt family,
00:41:41I guess he's still
00:41:42part of the Wyatt family,
00:41:43Luke Harper,
00:41:43although he suffered
00:41:45a sister Abigail
00:41:46at the hands
00:41:46of Bray Wyatt
00:41:47last Tuesday night
00:41:48after losing
00:41:48to Randy Orton.
00:41:49I think it's safe
00:41:50to say Luke Harper
00:41:51probably isn't in
00:41:51the best graces
00:41:52of Bray Wyatt
00:41:53right now,
00:41:54but what a way
00:41:54to get back in
00:41:55with the family
00:41:56to win the Royal
00:41:57Rumble match.
00:41:59Luke Harper.
00:42:01Luke paid absolutely
00:42:02no attention to Randy.
00:42:03Not at all.
00:42:04Harper going right
00:42:05to work on
00:42:05Apollo Crews.
00:42:10Apollo sent over
00:42:11the...
00:42:12Oh, and he's eliminated.
00:42:13Harper eliminates Crews.
00:42:15And now...
00:42:15Here we go.
00:42:17Locks eyes
00:42:17with the Viper.
00:42:20Look at those eyes.
00:42:22And Bray Wyatt
00:42:23trying to play
00:42:24Peacekeeper.
00:42:27You talked about
00:42:28the combination
00:42:29of the Viper
00:42:29and Bray Wyatt
00:42:30together.
00:42:31Imagine if all three
00:42:32of those
00:42:32worked as a cohesive
00:42:33unit.
00:42:34Oh, no!
00:42:36What?
00:42:36What did he do?
00:42:38Harper with that
00:42:39lariat to Bray Wyatt
00:42:40and now a boot
00:42:41to Orton.
00:42:43Luke Harper
00:42:44said enough's enough.
00:42:46Luke Harper
00:42:47just lost his mind
00:42:48is what happened.
00:42:49Why on earth
00:42:49would you turn
00:42:50your back
00:42:50on your family?
00:42:54Perhaps he thought
00:42:54his family
00:42:55turned his back
00:42:56on him
00:42:56this past Tuesday night.
00:43:00I just still
00:43:01can't believe
00:43:01what we just witnessed.
00:43:03Oh, my God,
00:43:03no.
00:43:03Look at...
00:43:04Look at...
00:43:04He's gonna do
00:43:05Sister Abigail
00:43:06on Bray Wyatt.
00:43:07He's going for
00:43:07Sister Abigail
00:43:08on Bray Wyatt.
00:43:09And a...
00:43:10RKO!
00:43:12Orton
00:43:12saving Bray Wyatt.
00:43:15I still can't believe
00:43:16what we were about
00:43:17to witness.
00:43:18I still...
00:43:19I think we're seeing
00:43:20the complete implosion
00:43:21of the Wyatt family.
00:43:23Or at least
00:43:24one-third of it.
00:43:26Number 26
00:43:27coming.
00:43:28Five, four, three,
00:43:30two, three, two, one.
00:43:37Game over.
00:43:38Batten down the hatches.
00:43:42The man who has
00:43:42humiliated
00:43:43its Survivor Series.
00:43:45In a minute,
00:43:4626 by Goldberg.
00:43:49Brock Lesnar,
00:43:51the Beast,
00:43:52is coming to feast.
00:43:53Oh!
00:43:54The Conqueror
00:43:56has arrived.
00:43:57Can I tell you guys
00:43:59this is my pick
00:43:59to win the Royal Rumble
00:44:00match?
00:44:01Brock Lesnar!
00:44:02Lesnar enters
00:44:02his third Rumble.
00:44:03He won in 2003.
00:44:06You and me both,
00:44:07King.
00:44:08Brock Lesnar's been
00:44:09my pick for a while
00:44:09now.
00:44:10We'll split the pot.
00:44:11How's that sound?
00:44:11I love it.
00:44:13Lesnar,
00:44:14what a...
00:44:15Nine men to...
00:44:15Oh!
00:44:16Winning his first
00:44:16Royal Rumble
00:44:17appearance.
00:44:18Goes right after
00:44:18Dean Ambrose.
00:44:19Ambrose eliminated
00:44:20by Lesnar.
00:44:21Look at this.
00:44:22Look at this.
00:44:22Eliminated by Lesnar.
00:44:24Look at this.
00:44:27Oh!
00:44:28Suplex welcome
00:44:29to Suplex City.
00:44:30Eat,
00:44:31sleep,
00:44:31eliminate,
00:44:32repeat.
00:44:33We heard the
00:44:34advocate call
00:44:35the shots.
00:44:36Gosh.
00:44:37The Beast incarnate
00:44:38is delivering.
00:44:38Oh no.
00:44:39Oh no!
00:44:39F5!
00:44:40Ooh!
00:44:42Randy Orton!
00:44:46F5!
00:44:49Lesnar has left
00:44:50carnage in his wake.
00:44:53Has anyone left
00:44:53standing?
00:44:54Other than
00:44:54Lesnar?
00:45:00Eat,
00:45:01sleep,
00:45:02eliminate,
00:45:03repeat.
00:45:05I think now
00:45:06all Brock has to do
00:45:07is just start
00:45:08tossing him
00:45:09over the top.
00:45:11Number 27.
00:45:13The luckiest
00:45:14number in the field.
00:45:15Four winners
00:45:16over the years
00:45:17from this spot.
00:45:18Who has it?
00:45:22Wait a minute,
00:45:23King.
00:45:23What?
00:45:25I think I know
00:45:26what this means.
00:45:27Oh my God,
00:45:27Corey,
00:45:27you can get your wish.
00:45:28Oh my God,
00:45:29this may be
00:45:30the greatest
00:45:31moment of my life.
00:45:33This idiot,
00:45:34Enzo Amore,
00:45:36is gonna have to go
00:45:37face to face
00:45:38with the Beast
00:45:39incarnate
00:45:40Brock Lesnar.
00:45:41This poor schmuck.
00:45:43Just turn around
00:45:43and go back
00:45:44and go back
00:45:44to the locker room.
00:45:44Keep running,
00:45:45Enzo.
00:45:46Keep running
00:45:47straight ahead
00:45:48into the storm.
00:45:51I am begging you,
00:45:52Enzo.
00:45:54Lesnar with a big old
00:45:55smirk on his face.
00:46:02Put your shirt back on
00:46:03and go home,
00:46:04and go home,
00:46:04Enzo.
00:46:06Or just use it
00:46:07as a blindfold
00:46:07because you're
00:46:08about to be
00:46:08in front of a firing squad.
00:46:11Oh my goodness.
00:46:12Oh,
00:46:13Lesnar
00:46:13turned
00:46:13Enzo
00:46:14inside out.
00:46:16Oh.
00:46:18He's history already.
00:46:20That didn't take long.
00:46:21And Enzo
00:46:22eliminated
00:46:22by Lesnar.
00:46:23Now we await
00:46:26number 28
00:46:27as Brock Lesnar
00:46:28continues
00:46:29the destruction.
00:46:31Oh.
00:46:34Let me just tell you,
00:46:35Enzo is lucky
00:46:36that his head
00:46:36is still attached
00:46:37to his shoulders
00:46:38after that clone play.
00:46:38Did you see how far
00:46:39and how hard
00:46:40he just sent Jericho?
00:46:42Suplex City
00:46:43has come to San Antonio.
00:46:48Number 28 spot
00:46:50that's coming up
00:46:50is rather historic
00:46:52for Batista.
00:46:52Twice.
00:46:53Batista won
00:46:54from number 28.
00:46:59I have it on good
00:46:59authority
00:47:00that the same people
00:47:00that banned
00:47:01Ozzy Osbourne
00:47:02from San Antonio
00:47:02just banned Enzo.
00:47:06Oh yeah!
00:47:09This is it!
00:47:10Lesnar's waited
00:47:11since Survivor Series
00:47:13for this moment.
00:47:14he's found he has one more
00:47:32championship run in him.
00:47:34In order to have
00:47:35that opportunity
00:47:36he's got to win this match.
00:47:37The Royal Rumble match.
00:47:38Here comes Goldberg.
00:47:40Brock Lesnar's waiting
00:47:41for him.
00:47:42What a moment this is.
00:47:44Oh my gosh.
00:47:45My hair's standing up
00:47:46on the back of my neck.
00:47:47This is unbelievable.
00:47:49Listen,
00:47:49there's not much
00:47:50in this world for sure.
00:47:51And remember,
00:47:52Goldberg is the man
00:47:53who's humiliated,
00:47:54who embarrassed
00:47:55Brock Lesnar
00:47:56in a minute 26
00:47:57at Survivor Series.
00:47:59Lesnar's been
00:48:00chomping at the bit.
00:48:01He's been waiting
00:48:01for this moment.
00:48:02Face to face.
00:48:03Lesnar and Goldberg
00:48:04here at the Rumble.
00:48:09And here they go.
00:48:10And Goldberg's
00:48:11there.
00:48:12Spinner.
00:48:13Just like in Survivor Series.
00:48:15Goldberg has stunned Lesnar.
00:48:17He's stunned him
00:48:17with a spear.
00:48:18Goldberg stunned Lesnar again.
00:48:20And Lesnar's eliminated.
00:48:22Lesnar's eliminated.
00:48:24Goldberg's eliminated.
00:48:25Oh my God.
00:48:26Goldberg's got
00:48:28Lesnar's number.
00:48:30Goldberg's eliminated Lesnar.
00:48:32How on earth
00:48:33did that just happen?
00:48:35We'll remember
00:48:35this Rumble all night.
00:48:37All right.
00:48:39I was about to say
00:48:40nothing in the world
00:48:41for sure,
00:48:42but I can guarantee you
00:48:43that history won't
00:48:43repeat itself.
00:48:44I couldn't have been
00:48:45more wrong.
00:48:45Oh, now Goldberg
00:48:46blasting Corbin
00:48:48and Rusev as well.
00:48:49But guys,
00:48:50the spear.
00:48:51Again,
00:48:51Lesnar got caught
00:48:52by that spear
00:48:53right when they went
00:48:54face to face.
00:48:55It stunned him.
00:48:56It shocked him.
00:48:57And it allowed Goldberg
00:48:58to eliminate Brock.
00:48:59It stunned the world
00:49:00and shocked the world.
00:49:01What is Sami Zayn
00:49:02thinking about?
00:49:05Retirement.
00:49:05Oh!
00:49:07Jackhammer!
00:49:07Now Bray and Randy
00:49:11trying to double-team.
00:49:12This is interesting.
00:49:14The Wyatt family
00:49:15ganging up on Goldberg.
00:49:20Art and Wyatt
00:49:21looking to eliminate Goldberg.
00:49:23Stop this magical run.
00:49:24It's just...
00:49:2552,000 people...
00:49:27Oh!
00:49:28Goldberg double spear!
00:49:2952,000 people are stunned.
00:49:31They're in shock right now.
00:49:32I'm stunned.
00:49:33I couldn't believe
00:49:34it could happen again.
00:49:35It happened once
00:49:36in Survivor Series.
00:49:36I get it.
00:49:37Surprise factor.
00:49:38But again tonight?
00:49:39And now number 29!
00:49:415, 4, 3, 2, 1!
00:49:53Oh my God!
00:49:54Time for the phantom!
00:49:55The man who won in 2007!
00:50:12Hey, where's that?
00:50:18Tangers in the ring!
00:50:19Oh my God!
00:50:20Undertakers in the ring!

00:50:39Please, come on!
00:50:41So we know Baron Corbin
00:50:42wants to make a name
00:50:43for himself.
00:50:44What better way to do it
00:50:45than to take The Undertaker
00:50:46out of the Royal Rumble match?
00:50:48Corbin's already out
00:50:48and Goldberg just eliminated Rusev.
00:50:51And now Baron Corbin
00:50:53eliminated by Undertaker!
00:50:55Look out for here!
00:50:56Goldberg with a spear
00:50:58to The Undertaker!

00:51:23One more match

00:51:25Sammy Zayne and Miz

00:51:27Come on, Undertaker!
00:51:28The big old haymakers
00:51:29come on, Undertaker!

00:51:30He's my pick!
00:51:31I'm picking The Undertaker!
00:51:33The final with the right hand!
00:51:3311 rumbles
00:51:38for Undertaker!
00:51:42This has been amazing!
00:51:48Good night, Miz!
00:51:49Joke Slam!
00:51:52Undertaker!
00:51:54In phenom form tonight!
00:51:57And it's appropriate
00:51:58that Wrestlemania signs
00:52:00in the background
00:52:00like a halo
00:52:01on The Undertaker's head!
00:52:04You know, from the past
00:52:05Bray Wyatt has challenged
00:52:06the dead man
00:52:07to come out
00:52:08on the wrong end of it!
00:52:09There's one more entrant!
00:52:10Number 30!
00:52:12The big dog
00:52:19is gonna hunt!
00:52:22The man who won
00:52:24the 2015
00:52:25Royal Rumble match!
00:52:27The man who holds
00:52:28the record
00:52:28with 12 eliminations
00:52:30in 2014!
00:52:32And the man
00:52:33who was attacked
00:52:34and ambushed
00:52:34by Braun Strowman
00:52:35earlier tonight
00:52:36costing him
00:52:37the Universal Championship!
00:52:39I understand
00:52:39why Roman Reigns
00:52:40would want to enter
00:52:41the Royal Rumble match
00:52:42but after what Roman
00:52:43suffered earlier tonight
00:52:44to go head-on
00:52:45with the dead man
00:52:46to go head-on
00:52:47with Randy Orton
00:52:48with Bray Wyatt
00:52:49is absolutely
00:52:51a terrible idea
00:52:52by Roman!
00:52:54Yeah, but he has
00:52:54no choice now!
00:52:58And Roman Reigns
00:53:00with his eyes set
00:53:01on the man
00:53:02standing in the ring
00:53:03The Undertaker!
00:53:04I think the big dog
00:53:05just realized
00:53:06whose yard
00:53:07this actually is!
00:53:12is going to be
00:53:13a great deal
00:53:14and Roman
00:53:15with one of his own
00:53:15and Reigns
00:53:16and Undertaker
00:53:17both men
00:53:17wanting to win
00:53:18the Royal Rumble match!
00:53:18both men
00:53:19wanting to main event
00:53:20WrestleMania!
00:53:20Oh, and a right by Undertaker, and Roman with one of his own, and Reigns and Undertaker,
00:53:30both men wanting to win the Royal Rumble match, both men wanting to main event WrestleMania.
00:53:34Both men throwing bombs and haymakers at each other right now.
00:53:37I don't know where Reigns is getting the power behind those rights, but they were rocking the
00:53:41Undertaker for a minute. Roman Reigns ran into a clothesline from the Dead Man.
00:53:48Zane, Grey Wyatt, Orton, Jericho, Reigns, Undertaker still in this thing along with Miz.
00:53:54No, gotta wait. Watch it, Superman punch. Undertaker is rocked. He's rocked. No!
00:54:02Undertaker called Roman Reigns. What was that, King?
00:54:05Well, there he goes.
00:54:06Full slam!
00:54:09Orton was looking for the RKO. Bray Wyatt now trying to get Undertaker from behind, and Undertaker
00:54:14taking out Wyatt. Everybody focusing now on the Dead Man.
00:54:17Taker has literally been able to stand in the center of the ring and fight off everything
00:54:21that has come his way. This is so impressive. Miz is eliminated by The Undertaker.
00:54:26Sami Zayn eliminated by The Undertaker.
00:54:32Chris Jericho now 59 minutes deep into this Rumble match.
00:54:36An incredible performance by Chris Jericho.
00:54:39Roman Reigns almost eliminated.
00:54:40But Chris Jericho might not make the full hour.
00:54:44Undertaker chokeslam to Jericho.
00:54:53Oh, no! Roman Reigns! Reigns! Reigns eliminated The Undertaker!
00:54:57Roman Reigns eliminated The Undertaker! What?
00:55:00Roman Reigns!
00:55:01Roman Reigns just said to The Undertaker, this is my yard now.
00:55:23We are down to four men.
00:55:24I don't know about you, Corey, but that look in the eyes of The Undertaker said, this might
00:55:30not be over.
00:55:31We are down to Roman Reigns.
00:55:32I'm going to go, I'm going to say, I'm picking Roman Reigns.
00:55:35I'm going to change my pick.
00:55:36The fact that Roman Reigns had the guts to eliminate The Undertaker and then claim the
00:55:40ring for his yard, that's my guy.
00:55:42We are down to four.
00:55:43Reigns, Jericho, Bray Wyatt, and Randy Orton.
00:55:46And Chris Jericho has lasted over an hour so far in this Royal Rumble match.
00:55:55Roman Reigns, something happened to him tonight, Corey, when Braun Strowman took Roman Reigns
00:56:00out of that Universal Championship match.
00:56:02Don't forget about the long history between Reigns and Jericho.
00:56:04Jericho took Roman Reigns' United States Championship and maybe cost him the Universal
00:56:08title on multiple occasions.
00:56:09Superman punch!
00:56:10We're down to three!
00:56:13Reigns, Wyatt, Thornton!
00:56:15One of these three men's going to Wrestlemania!
00:56:18Well, two of these three men are members of the Wyatt family.
00:56:21And Orton and Bray Wyatt team up against Roman Reigns and then decide amongst themselves
00:56:26who's going to Wrestlemania.
00:56:28High drama in the Alamo Dome.
00:56:31It looks like Bray Wyatt likes these odds.
00:56:34It's not often you see the big dog outnumbered and hunted.
00:56:37Here they go!
00:56:38And Wyatt and Orton now ganging up on Roman Reigns just like you would expect him to play
00:56:42out.
00:56:42Roman underneath the bottom rope.
00:56:47Remember, you've got to go over the top.
00:56:48Both feet have to hit the floor to be eliminated.
00:56:55Randy looking back at Bray Wyatt for some construction.
00:57:01Oh boy.
00:57:02Randy Orton putting Roman Reigns into position.
00:57:05Off the second rope.
00:57:05DDT plants Reigns.
00:57:12Bray Wyatt is giddy.
00:57:14Yeah, because he knows this could be his time.
00:57:17This could be his moment.
00:57:18Bray Wyatt looking to eliminate Roman Reigns.
00:57:21Take him out of the picture.
00:57:22But first, some sister Abigail.
00:57:25Perhaps it'll be RKO.
00:57:27Wyatt family setting up for the double team.
00:57:29No.
00:57:30Could not connect.
00:57:31Locked.
00:57:31Superman touched it, however.
00:57:33And another one.
00:57:34Roman Reigns is on fire right now.
00:57:37Look at those Bray Wyatt.
00:57:38We are down to Reigns and Orton.
00:57:40We are down to Reigns and Orton.
00:57:42Reigns is going to do it.
00:57:44Will Roman Reigns win the Rumble match for the second time in three years?
00:57:49I knew it all along.
00:57:50Roman Reigns is going to...
00:57:51Oh, KO!
00:57:52Oh, KO by Randy Orton.
00:57:54Randy Orton wins the Rumble.
00:57:56Randy Orton's going to Wrestlemania.
00:58:00Here is your winner, Randy Orton.
00:58:06The Viper strikes Wrestlemania Paydirt.
00:58:11This is a Randy Orton Rebirth.
00:58:15Amazing.
00:58:16Randy Orton becomes the seventh man to win two or more Rumbles.
00:58:23Randy Orton's won his second Rumble in eight years.
00:58:26Randy Orton, the Apex Predator,
00:58:31now has the opportunity to compete.
00:58:35Remember, look back.
00:58:37We thought The Undertaker had this thing won,
00:58:39but he took his eyes off of that man, Roman Reigns,
00:58:42just momentarily.
00:58:43Long enough for Roman Reigns to eliminate The Undertaker from behind.
00:58:47And then watch this.
00:58:50Bang!
00:58:51Superman punch!
00:58:52I thought Roman Reigns had this thing in the bag.
00:58:54Ray Wyatt would be tossed over the top rope and hit the floor.
00:58:58And just when it looked like Roman Reigns was ready to finish the job.
00:59:02Oh!
00:59:03RKO out of nowhere.
00:59:05And bang!
00:59:06There goes Roman.
00:59:07The Apex Predator has ascended to the pinnacle of sports entertainment.
00:59:13The main event of Wrestlemania.
00:59:17Congratulations, Randy Orton.
00:59:19What an incredible Royal Rumble match tonight.
00:59:23Braun Strowman dominant for a while.
00:59:25Eliminated by Baron Corbin.
00:59:27Once again, Goldberg shocked Brock Lesnar tonight.
00:59:31Oh, man.
00:59:31Incredible.
00:59:32We'll go with it by The Undertaker.
00:59:35But finally, the Viper victorious!
00:59:38RKO!
00:59:49Randy Orton is going to Wrestlemania!
00:59:54RKO!
00:59:54RKO!
00:59:55RKO!
00:59:55RKO!
00:59:56RKO!

00:59:57RKO!
00:59:58RKO!
00:59:58RKO!
