FunTranscript
00:00With Batista last year, Roman Reigns is going to change that tonight.
00:07Roman Reigns taking a two-boat goal and start us.
00:11Wow.
00:12Now Bray Wyatt.
00:14Now Rusev.
00:17Some of the shots.
00:21Tilder will slam.
00:25And this is Postal Dust.
00:27The three men in this match so far.
00:39Right now.
00:40This is what I was talking about earlier.
00:43Bray Wyatt and Rusev.
00:44Looks like they're on the same page.
00:46They need to eliminate.
00:47Oh!
00:48Roman Reigns, but I don't think it's going to work.
00:50Roman Reigns, the 2014 Superstar of the Year.
00:54Won the Slammy Award.
00:55Loaded on by the WWE fans as we await number 20.
01:05Big E.
01:06Second Royal Rumble match for this man.
01:08The winner of 29 last year.
01:10Big E.
01:11Former Intercontinental Champion.
01:15Big E can throw his weight around in here.
01:17He's got a lot of it to throw around.
01:19He can lift any of these guys and post them over the top.
01:21Ray Wyatt has been in this match over 26 minutes since entering at number 5.
01:28But watch this.
01:29What did it tell you?
01:31Rusev.
01:32Is it flying?
01:39He tried to get Rusev up and over.
01:41But the few guys who can match up power with Rusev is certainly Big E.
01:44Yeah, they had some great battles last year.
01:47Big E and Rusev.
01:48Look at this.
01:49With ease.
01:50That is a strong, strong man.
01:56We are on two-thirds of the way through the field.
01:58The 2015 Royal Rumble match.
02:01Oh, boy.
02:02Oh!
02:03Otto Vox bowling ball.
02:0622 superstars have won the Royal Rumble.
02:10John, after the first 20 here tonight, none of the superstars have ever won a Royal Rumble match before.
02:16Watch this move.
02:18You got it deep.
02:19Otto Vox.
02:20Otto Vox used to do that.
02:23Former AWA Champion in Graz Austria.
02:26Wow.
02:27Wow.
02:28Wow.
02:31He tried to get Rusev up and Rusev blocking it in every turn.
02:38This is entry number 21.
02:42Awesome.
02:44What?
02:46The stunt double from his.
02:47Damian Mizdow.
02:51Last year, Damian Mizdow was the first one eliminated from the Royal Rumble.
02:56But it's also in the...
02:57Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
02:59Whoa.
03:01Come on.
03:05Look at that.
03:06He'll take you no spot.
03:07No spot.
03:08My spot.
03:12Miz just said that he's taking his spot.
03:17Maybe not.
03:22Come on, Mizdow.
03:23It's an opportunity at Chloe.
03:24I'm going to go ahead and break Mizdow.
03:31I'm done now.
03:35I'm going to do the same thing.
03:37It's a man for himself.
03:41There it is.
03:46Yes, he's going to keep up late.
03:48Uh-oh.
03:49Now, Rusev with.
03:50Eliminates Mizdow.
03:52Glory is pleading.
03:53Six eliminations for Brad Wyatt.
03:55Five.
03:56Rusev.
03:57Oh, no.
04:00Oh, no.
04:02I don't know.
04:02This is going to work us out.
04:03Look at him.
04:14Entry 22.
04:16Mizdow can break an entrance record.
04:17Most Rumbles will have an elimination.
04:19Six.
04:21Mizdow's trying to be an elite.
04:22A team man was fleeting.
04:26On the real American, Jack Swagger, who entered his fifth Royal Waffle Match now.
04:33Ray Wyatt, who entered number five, has been in over 30 minutes.
04:39Last year, Swagger with an impressive rumble, lasted over 10 minutes.
04:44Oh!
04:45He's had some great battles with Rusev over the past year.
04:47Oh!
04:48Swagger ball.
04:58Swagger can do some damage.
05:01This is a big, strong, raw bone guy.
05:05We're going to eliminate Rusev.
05:06Boy, how great would this taste for Jack Swagger, John, after everything Rusev has put him through.
05:11Right about that.
05:12But look, once again, here's Ray Wyatt.
05:14And to the aid of Rusev, it's too, oh, well, maybe it's going too soon.
05:20Swagger, a real American, John, much like the first Royal Rumble winner was, as you mentioned before.
05:25Hacksaw, Jim Duggan.
05:27Great with me for Zeb Coulter, watching at home to see his buddy Swagger eliminate Rusev.
05:35First ever elimination in the Royal Rumble was Butch Reed by Jake Roberts.
05:40Ipto!
05:42Jake Roberts.
05:42Ipto!
05:45Ipto!
05:45Damien once came in and actually, it was a million, not for the giant.
05:50I don't remember having to run in a Royal Rumble with Jake Roberts.
05:53Damien came down, he had that big bag over his back.
05:57Damien did.
05:58Well, no, Jake did.
05:59But the snake wouldn't come out of the bag.
06:01Act three, number 23 is...
06:04Never got that lucky foot for us, this year.
06:06The big guy, Ryback!
06:07It is Ryback's third Rumble.
06:13Remember, Ryback's back after Cena won that 3-1 handicap match last week on Raw, but Ryback back to work.
06:19And then, King Ryback, this man Rusev, he came out on SmackDown Thursday night to qualify for tonight's match.
06:26Right about that.
06:27Ryback has his way.
06:29He's going to beat a lot of people here tonight.
06:31Mike Sloger won that number 23 spot.
06:33The only person to win the Royal Rumble and never go on to win a WWE title.
06:37Look at the big guy go.
06:40You got a lot on your plate, but you look hungry.
06:44Team people!
06:45Team people!
06:47Team people!
06:48Wow!
06:50I'm out!
06:53Can you imagine, Ryback, all the eggs for his son?
06:57Oh, look.
06:57Rusev, he has a...
06:58He has a pigeon for hanging on for dear life,
07:01but he gets close to those ropes.
07:02From behind, Ryback, Wyatt, who's still in this match.
07:11Rusev's been in the match over 15 minutes.
07:13Ryback, over 30 minutes.
07:19Impressive performance so far.
07:20With Ryback, with 6 nominations.
07:23Rusev, 5.
07:25Y'all, Y'all, Y'all, Y'all, Y'all, Y'all.
07:38Retreat number 24 coming.
07:41Three people have won this spot.
07:44Hogan, Alston, and The Rock.
07:46And a man who's long due, John.
07:51One of the most prolific Royal Rumble performers in history.
07:55His 16th Rumble.
07:57It's Kane.
07:5938 eliminations over his lifetime.
08:02The only person who has more, HBK.
08:05Sean Michaels at 39.
08:06So keep an eye on Kane.
08:08He's two eliminations away from setting the all-time record.
08:10Remember, he held the record for most eliminations in one Rumble.
08:14Eleven set in 2001 before it was broken last year by Roman Reigns.
08:22Kane was extremely upset.
08:24Didn't last long in last year's Rumble.
08:25Matt said he wants to be commenced this time around.
08:29Kane going after the big guy.
08:31He's almost got him up and over.
08:35Oh, boy.
08:37Ryback teetering.
08:40Okay, we're getting into crunch time in this Rumble match now.
08:51Swagger may be eliminated by Big E.
08:56We've also got a ring full of guys that are...
09:00That is just...
09:01You'd have to dub them not easy eliminations.
09:05These guys know what it takes to hang into a Royal Rumble.
09:08Kane, Ryback, Swagger.
09:10Big E, Reigns, Rusev, Wyatt.
09:13This way you wait.
09:14Number 25.
09:21Uh-oh.
09:22The lunatic fringe.
09:26The man in the Hall of Famer with Claire picked to win this year's Royal Rumble.
09:33Ray Wyatt looking to eliminate Ambrose early.
09:37Ambrose.
09:37Ambrose.
09:37Ambrose.
09:37Ambrose.
09:37Ambrose.
09:40Ambrose.
09:40Ambrose.
09:41Ambrose.
09:41No.
09:41No.
09:44He's had some run-ins who have been sending us away.
09:52He lets go Ambrose chance.
09:54He'll be in the Wells Fargo Center.
09:58Ambrose has become the new flavor here in the city of brotherly love.
10:07You know, last year in his Royal Rumble debut, look at Ambrose trying to eliminate Rusev.
10:11Ambrose lasted over almost 34 minutes.
10:14He eliminated three people, John, before being eliminated by his shield buddy, Roman Reigns.
10:20This certainly could be Ambrose's time to win the Royal Rumble and head on to WrestleMania.
10:27Said it before, 13 of the 22 people who won it have gone on to become champion.
10:32Ryback, Ryback, Ryback.
10:34Oh, Biggie, look at a limited Ryback. Look at how Ryback's hanging on to the bottom rope.
10:39Right. That's the way you gotta do it.
10:41Get yourself around that rope like a snake.
10:45One, four, three, three, three, number 26.
10:55Oh boy.
10:57The title's on the air.
10:59And there's the Royal Rumble match for a second time.
11:02Everything around the world.
11:04This guy is impressive looking.
11:20Uh-oh.
11:24That's a German Titus.
11:25I think that was Rusev and Ambrose with a jewel of the nation here.
11:30We should say Reigns and Ambrose.
11:32Did Titus just break Santino Marlowe's record?
11:35I don't know, but he was talking a lot of smack on the way to the ring.
11:37We have to check to see how long Titus is actually in the match.
11:40Four seconds, so no.
11:42Santino's right now.
11:43It's still attacked.
11:43Cain, Thomas is very confident.
11:55Yeah, I know.
11:58He drops.
11:59Bray Wyatt's still in this match, guys.
12:03Very impressive rumble so far for Bray Wyatt.
12:06Bray Wyatt just went over 20 minutes in the Royal Rumble match.
12:12Look at this ring right now.
12:14One of these guys may be facing Brock Lesnar for the world championship.
12:19Bray Wyatt is at 38 minutes and counting in this year's Royal Rumble.
12:28Wyatt may be beardless at WrestleMania.
12:32Dean Ambrose has anything to say about it.
12:33Entry number 27 now.
12:35This is the favorite number.
12:37Four people have won from this number.
12:38Really?
12:41Oh, and my favorite now.
12:43Edition 4 is his fourth Rumble match.
12:46The five-time Intercontinental Champion, Bad News Barrett.
12:49Big John Studd, Yokozuna, Brett Hart, and Stone Cold have all won from this position.
12:54Bad News could be next.
13:00Four winners from this position.
13:02This is Barrett's fourth Royal Rumble.
13:05Boy, the numbers are heading up well for them.
13:08Bad News Barrett.
13:09Patty Powers going crazy with this.
13:12And the numbers are also added up in the ring.
13:13You got to believe this is the most entrance we've had in the ring at one time in the Rumble match tonight.
13:23Barrett.
13:25He plants Ambrose.
13:26Damn Rose craped over that rope.
13:37Over that rope.
13:38Then comes Roman Reigns.
13:40Backs off Bad News Barrett.
13:41I'm telling you, this is where it gets to be a true battle royal here.
13:46I mean, you got to watch bad people.
13:48Everybody out for himself.
13:49I don't know who's going to hit you for where.
13:59Swagger battling.
14:01Did you know this?
14:02You know the main event of WrestleMania is waiting on the winner.
14:05Yeah, right.
14:06So is Brock Lesnar.
14:08Cameroon's trying to get the Bad News Barrett.
14:20Got to get him over that top rope.
14:22The middle.
14:27Only one person has won from number 28, but he's done it twice.
14:31Batista.
14:31This year, number 28 is Cesaro.
14:36His third Royal Rumble match.
14:38And guys, Cesaro's a guy who can be very dangerous from this position.
14:44Most dangerous from any position.
14:48There's not one man in this ring that Cesaro could not lift up in the air with ease and throw right over that top rope.
14:54Hey, John, let's not forget what Cesaro accomplished last year at WrestleMania.
14:57He won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royale.
15:01So he's been tested in these type of matches.
15:04And he's come out on top.
15:06Coming this late in the Royal Rumble.
15:08Cesaro could be a favorite right now.
15:11Cesaro.
15:14And Cesaro's fresh.
15:15Roman Reigns has been in this match over 15 minutes.
15:20What about Bray Wyatt?
15:21Over 40 minutes.
15:23Amazing.
15:23For Bray Wyatt.
15:24Whoa.
15:25Oh, no.
15:26Man.
15:27He's knocked Dean Ambrose out.
15:31You've still got to get him over the top rope.
15:33He's got his jaw chest.
15:34There he goes.
15:35Cesaro trying to eliminate Ambrose there.
15:37And Ambrose stays in it.
15:38Ambrose is smart.
15:41Saw Road Dogger there for about half the Royal Rumble.
15:46Doesn't matter how you stay in.
15:47Just stay in.
15:48You're right.
15:49Number one year, you're sitting on outside the ring to the end of things.
15:53Whoa.
15:55Almost ended up winning.
15:56Oh, no.
15:59Yeah.
15:59No.
16:02Yeah.
16:02So back in there.
16:04Big E.
16:04Eliminated by Rusev.
16:06It's going to count on Rusev now for eliminations.
16:09One, two, three, four, five, six eliminations for Rusev.
16:13And Ambrose.
16:14Here comes entry number 29.
16:16Three, two, one.
16:22We'll know me.
16:25The moon just changed.
16:27And John, this man, Big Show, is entering his 10th Royal Rumble match.
16:31And two people at one for the number 29 position, Brock Lesnar and Edge.
16:36And Big Show, John, could be closing in on history tonight.
16:38We'll see you.
16:3925 eliminations all the time.
16:42Look at everybody.
16:43Well, this is smart.
16:44Very smart.
16:47Oh, look at Big Show power now.
16:51Now, Big Show is now.
16:52Big Show is seventh on the all-time list of career eliminations.
16:56And he gets...
16:58That's Hulk Hogan ahead of him at 27.
16:59And Triple H at 28.
17:01Big Show's at 25.
17:02Big Show needs four to move into the top five.
17:05You can tell that Big Show was expecting all of these superstars that were left to...
17:08Oh!
17:08...to lob him in.
17:10He fought them all off.
17:11Whoa!
17:12Roman Reigns going for the ride.
17:18And Big Show members of the authority working together to eliminate Rusev.
17:22That's a big elimination.
17:23Get rid of Rusev.
17:24So, so, Show gets the elimination there.
17:26All right, so does Kane, y'all.
17:27Watch it, watch it.
17:29Swag eliminated.
17:31So, Kane has just tied Shawn Michaels with 39 lifetime eliminations.
17:35Oh, boy.
17:36He's got Rusev up and down.
17:47Kane needs to get a few more.
17:49Kane's going to walk out and hear the Royal Rumble.
17:51This is Kane's 16th Royal Rumble.
17:57Oh!
17:58I don't care how strong you are.
17:59That hurts.
18:01I'm kidding.
18:04Number 32.
18:05People have won this position.
18:06Undertaker and John Cena.
18:08Who's it going to be?
18:09We know it's qualified for tonight on SmackDown.
18:14The Shaw.
18:15I don't want to take it away.
18:19Entering this seventh Royal Rumble match.
18:26Oh!
18:27Oh!
18:27Oh!
18:27What a great spot for Dom Ziggler.
18:32Has had an incredible year.
18:34Some of these other superstars have got to be tired.
18:37They've got to be worn down.
18:38You're telling the last 12 months.
18:40Whoa!
18:41Man!
18:43What about that?
18:45That is some showing off.
18:46And there it goes.
18:47Oh!
18:49Oh, my goodness.
18:49So much for the lucky number four.
18:55Oh, boy.
18:56Uh-oh.
18:57Look out.
18:58Just a swinging.
19:03Oh, my God.
19:03He's the last member of the Rumble,
19:05so there's nobody who will come in to save him.
19:08We're going to be here in a while.
19:09Keep swinging him.
19:10And that's right.
19:14Oh, let me know.
19:14Dolph was hanging on.
19:17Not so dizzy.
19:19He can't hang on to anything.
19:20Look at the right.
19:23I lost my lunch.
19:24I was lying around there like that.
19:25Ziggler would love to win this Rumble match
19:27and stick it to the authority.
19:31Dolph just dragged Cesaro over that top rope.
19:35They're both in a precarious spot here.
19:37Ray Wyatt is still in this match.
19:39She's left in over 45 minutes thus far, guys.
19:46Outposts his arm.
19:47It's a rotator.
19:48He answers his arm.
19:49Look at the end of Michael.
19:53Better get back inside, Dolph.
19:55A dangerous spot to be in.
19:58There you go.
20:02Whoa!
20:03Ziggler stays on the apron.
20:09This is dangerous for Dolph to be on top.
20:17Oh, the knockout down the punch.
20:19K.O. punch.
20:20K.O. punch.
20:30Kane and Big Show are the only ones standing.
20:32Ambrose, Cray, roaming down along with Dolph Ziggler.
20:37And look, guys.
20:42Kane just broke the record.
20:44All-time eliminations.
20:45Watch.
20:45Watch this big right-hand land.
20:48Oh, man.
20:51Goff knocked unconscious.
20:54Now the double team continues by Kane and Big Show.
20:57Bray Wyatt was going for that sister, Abigail, and just got K.O.'ed by Big Show.
21:02And Big Show has now moved into the top five.
21:06So Big Show and Kane make history tonight, eliminating Dolph Ziggler and Bray Wyatt.
21:11Kane is the most proficient eliminator in Royal Rumble history in 40, followed by Shawn Michaels,
21:16Stone Cold, The Undertaker, and now the Big Show.
21:19Big Show with 29 overall moves into the top five.
21:22So now it's Big Show and Kane.
21:24Yeah, look at these four.
21:25Ambrose and Reigns.
21:26Look at these four.
21:27The final four here to see who goes to WrestleMania.
21:32Come on.
21:34In they go.
21:38Reigns on the Big Show.
21:40We've already seen history made.
21:41Now we're going to find out who goes to WrestleMania.
21:44WrestleMania really makes history.
21:49Ambrose.
21:50The Big Show has been so dominant so far.
21:57Ambrose with the clothesline.
21:59A little effect on the Big Show.
22:01And that's right.
22:01Yeah.
22:02So he doesn't want Big Show's body.
22:04He wants to earn his own.
22:05He wants to do it tonight on the Rumble match.
22:12You see Roman Reigns.
22:14Dean Ambrose double-teaming the Big Show.
22:16This is what you've got to do.
22:17This is good strategy.
22:18If these Shield brothers end up in there together,
22:21they're going to turn each other like two rabid wolves.
22:25And Kane on the Big Boot.
22:27Man, and he thwarts the attempted elimination of authority,
22:30Brother Big Show.
22:33Imagine if it comes down to Big Show and Kane.
22:35Two members of the authority.
22:36What's going to happen there?
22:37Beat each other to smithereens, I hope.
22:40Uh-oh.
22:41The only WWE fans sense that it's coming.
22:57The elimination of Dean Ambrose by Big Show and Kane, who have been decimating the entire field.
23:03And now it's down to Roman Reigns.
23:21Roman Reigns, this is where you've got to think.
23:24What's at stake?
23:26Reigns trying to power back the powerhouse.
23:28Johnny, it's just got to be a matter of time.
23:34Well, the Shield used to have the numbers game.
23:36Roman Reigns knows it very well.
23:37He just happens to be on the other end this time.
23:39And he's also in the ring against two of the great performances in the history of WrestleMania.
23:44And of Royal Rumble matches.
23:46Over 75 eliminations between just Big Show and Kane.
23:52Lifetime history of Royal Rumble performances.
23:54Like you said, Michael, what's going to happen between Kane and Big Show when they get rid of Roman Reigns?
24:00Look, look, look, look, look, there's what's going to happen.
24:02Look.
24:04Big Show, I think he was trying to keep Kane in the match.
