00:00Trying to hang on, Rhodes trying to get back into the ring.
00:04Oh no, a tremoor by Drew McIntyre!
00:09McIntyre has eliminated Cody Rhodes from the Royal Rumble.
00:14And he's also eliminated the potential of Cody facing McIntyre at Wrestlemania.
00:21There's nothing to the madness.
00:23And now Roman Reigns eliminating his cousin.
00:26Jacob Petit was distracted seeing Drew McIntyre there,
00:31a man who he blames for that sneak attack.
00:33Oh God, oh God, watch out!
00:35Jey Uso trying to eliminate his cousin.
00:38A little payback from earlier tonight, right?
00:40Two brutalized.
00:42Spear! Spear!
00:45That was delivering some malice.
00:47Roman Reigns has always lorded it over Jey Uso.
00:51It eliminates Jey.
00:53We are down to four.
00:56Four remain Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, the career killer Gunther, and the maverick Logan Paul.
01:15Three former world champions.
01:21And Orton goes for Gunther, Roman Reigns, and Logan Paul exchange blows.
01:25Two separate fights in the ring, all with the same aim here.
01:29And Gunther is so beaten down after that matchup with AJ Styles,
01:33he may be the weakest here at this point.
01:35It's not, do you see that?
01:36Logan sent out to the apron, trying to stay in this, that titanium-loaded right hand of Logan Paul.
01:41Will it come into play?
01:42There is that!
01:43Oh, he went for the slingshot clothesline, and Roman Reigns made him pay.
01:46Just beat him to the punch on that one.
01:47Little stumble from Logan Paul, and I said,
01:49don't make a mistake!
01:51The stumble was the mistake, and now it's three.
01:53RKO!
01:56Gunther!
01:5911-8, Jordan!
02:01We are down to two!
02:02We are down to two!
02:10Gunther, who has been a runner-up before,
02:13when he set a men's record in the Royal Rumble match.
02:16The hatred for Gunther, the love and adoration for Roman Reigns,
02:23the contrast between these two amongst these fans in Riyadh could not be greater.
02:29Wade, what an historic night this would be for the ring general.
02:33Oh, it would be crazy, but it's been a crazy career,
02:36and you put nothing past Gunther.
02:39But the question is for these fans, will it be agony or ecstasy?
02:42It was the sleeper hold that retired AJ Styles earlier tonight.
02:47Gunther trying to lock it in there.
02:49Now with Roman Reigns up.
02:50Roman Reigns fighting, Reigns fighting, back body drop.
02:53Gunther out to the apron!
02:55Gunther smartly clinging on there, always has ring awareness like no other.
03:00Went for the Superman punch, caught by a right hand by Gunther.
03:03And Gunther right back into the ring now.
03:05And once again, looks for the sleeper hold.
03:07What do you do?
03:08You make Roman completely unconscious, put him to sleep,
03:11and then pick up about 270 pounds of Samoan and turf him out.
03:17And now Roman Reigns, again, the ropes don't cause any sort of break.
03:20Roman just trying to get there for leverage to try to break the sleeper hold now of Gunther.
03:25Out any way you can, and an elbow to the solar plexus just about does it,
03:30but Gunther going back for more.
03:32Back to the middle of the ring.
03:33Roman Reigns went for the Superman punch, caught by Gunther again,
03:37and back into the devastating sleeper.
03:39Yeah, that's two misses on the Superman punch.
03:42Gunther simply has it figured out at this point.
03:44And if Roman fades, Gunther's just got to lift up that dead weight and toss it over the top rope.
03:52That's toughen up in itself.
03:54Well, what were you saying earlier?
03:55Fade to black.
03:57And that is what Roman Reigns is facing right here.
04:00We've seen it once tonight with the career of AJ Styles.
04:03And we're about to see it again with the OTC.
04:07Roman trying to somehow hang on, trying to somehow fight back.
04:10The main event at WrestleMania hangs in the balance.
04:12Gunther's set into the corner.
04:14How deep you're gonna dig?
04:17And a spear by Reigns.
04:20Gunther back to his feet.
04:22Gunther eliminated.
04:24Roman Reigns did it.
04:25Roman Reigns is going to WrestleMania.
04:27Here is your winner of the 2026 Men's Royal Rumble, the OTC Roman Reigns.
04:41Gunther is runner-up again.
04:45The OTC wins his second Royal Rumble.
04:49And now finds himself in the main event at WrestleMania against the champion of his choosing.
05:19Oh, what an epic.
05:26Here's the closing moments.
05:27That was the mistake by Logan Paul.
05:29He went big.
05:30He stumbled.
05:31You can't do that around the OTC.
05:33Why?
05:34Because this immediately follows.
05:36But then it was a mistake from Roman.
05:38Turns his back on the Viper.
05:40The Viper struck, putting him down.
05:42But Gunther was there to mop up and turf out the Apex Predator.
05:47And then it was Roman Reigns breaking up the sleeper, driving Gunther into the turnbuckle.
05:52And then Reigns with his patented spear would hand him another Royal Rumble victory.
05:58Pretty incredible scene here in Riyadh, Wade.
06:01You know, it's 2 o'clock in the morning in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
06:04And not one person is sitting down.
06:07Not one person has left the stadium as they celebrate the win of Roman Reigns.
06:13What a massive adrenaline spike this night has been for about four straight hours.
06:19Peaking at this very moment.
06:22That's why we're all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed at 2 a.m.
