00:00:00Ladies and gentlemen, the following is the Men's Royal Rumble!
00:00:10Two superstars will start in the ring.
00:00:13Every 90 seconds, another superstar will enter the match.
00:00:18Eliminations occur when a superstar is thrown over the top rope
00:00:23with both feet hitting the floor.
00:00:26The last remaining superstar will be declared the Royal Rumble winner
00:00:33and will earn a championship match in a main event at WrestleMania!
00:00:42So now, to everyone here in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia,
00:00:47and to the millions watching around the world,
00:00:51who's ready for the Royal Rumble?
00:00:56Si Ho!
00:01:02Ooooooooh!
00:01:21One, two, one!
00:01:50Weighing in at 310 pounds, Obafemi!
00:01:57The ruler enters his first Royal Rumble match at number one.
00:02:03The former NXT champion, he vacated the title.
00:02:06They'll figure out a new champ Tuesday night in a seven-man ladder match.
00:02:09But for Obafemi, there is some history here, Wade.
00:02:12Three men have won from number one.
00:02:16What a massive task it is.
00:02:19But if anyone is up to it, it is this guy Obafemi.
00:02:25Some of the smartest minds in this entire industry have called this guy the future.
00:02:32The question is, does the future begin today in the Royal Rumble?
00:02:49And the men's Royal Rumble match is presented by Cricket.
00:02:57Join Cricket Nation and get reliable nationwide 5G.
00:03:00Smile!
00:03:01You're on Cricket.
00:03:02I still want to know if Obafemi's heading to Raw or SmackDown.
00:03:07I personally, rather selfishly, hope SmackDown so I can watch him destroy everything.
00:03:14Well, we know who number two is.
00:03:19Paul Heyman spoiled things earlier.
00:03:23No.
00:03:23Adam Pearce spoiled things with his conspiracy and rigging the draw.
00:03:29It's a random draw.
00:03:30It's not random.
00:03:31Adam Pearce is a tyrant, so that's well established.
00:03:35Well, this here is the unpredictable badass, Braun Breaker.
00:03:39And he's in the way to the range of entrance number two, representing the vision from Atlanta, Georgia.
00:03:50Weighing in at 250 pounds, Brock Breaker!
00:03:57Two superstars over the years have won from the number two spot.
00:04:01Breaker's going to have to run the field in order to win his first Royal Rumble.
00:04:06Well, he might not have to do it alone, of course.
00:04:10The game plan, Paul Heyman made it quite clear.
00:04:12The vision, the remaining trio of that group are going to be here to help Braun Breaker on his pack.
00:04:19Oh, wait a minute!
00:04:20Who the...
00:04:22Somebody hit a hood attacking Breaker and driving him into the steps!
00:04:29What the hell is this?
00:04:31And a kick to the face!
00:04:34You mean, who the hell is this?
00:04:35A stomp!
00:04:39The last time we saw some dude in the hood, it was Austin Theory trying to join the vision!
00:04:44Presumably, that was orchestrated in favor of the vision.
00:04:47This is the complete opposite.
00:04:49Is that a copycat?
00:04:50Who the hell is that guy?
00:04:51Yeah, well, right now, Braun Breaker has no idea where he is.
00:04:54And Omifemi, the ruler, has got to eliminate Breaker from the Rumble!
00:04:57Take that guy's hood off!
00:05:04Paul Heyman's...
00:05:04And he's out of here!
00:05:06Paul Heyman's...
00:05:06Paul Heyman's clan went up in smoke!
00:05:11Breaker's out!
00:05:12I don't think Breaker has any clue what the hell just happened.
00:05:16He just got mugged by that mystery guy.
00:05:19Who the hell was?
00:05:20I want answers now!
00:05:23I sort of like the copycat theory.
00:05:25Whoever it was, obviously had a vendetta against Breaker in the vision.
00:05:33Well, take another look at this.
00:05:36Breaker locked in, and then out of nowhere, the hooded guy, and we've seen...
00:05:41We've seen this previously.
00:05:43Breaker in favor of the vision, and then thrown in to Omifemi, who was not gonna ask questions.
00:05:54He's here to do a job.
00:05:55He's here to win the Royal Rumble, and that is the easiest elimination Omifemi will ever have.
00:06:02And there's the stop, and...
00:06:04I want answers now.
00:06:05We've seen a number of people use that recently, and...
00:06:08But...
00:06:09Breaker can't believe it here.
00:06:11You better believe it, he's eliminated, and this might get ugly at ringside.
00:06:25The allegations being thrown around at ringside here.
00:06:28Yeah, a number of names just tossed out by Paul Heyman, who he believes could possibly be culprits.
00:06:35We don't have any evidence to support any of that, to be clear, but we will get answers in due course, no doubt.
00:06:41But right now, this is effectively number two, although he's drawn number three, because number two is neutralized there.
00:06:50And now Solo Sokoa, the leader of the MFTs, is here to do battle with Omifemi.
00:06:57Yeah, this is Solo Sokoa's first Royal Rumble match.
00:07:09And now Solo and Oboe, exchanging blows in the middle of the ring.
00:07:13Two absolute brutes in there, with no Solo Sokoa can move.
00:07:19I don't know if he's going to be able to match power with this guy from Lagos, Nigeria, though.
00:07:24Oh, ran right through that attendant clothesline, and then a shoulder tackle.
00:07:30Omifemi is a...
00:07:32Just an unbelievable physical specimen.
00:07:36And what a slam to Sokoa.
00:07:39And I'm still startled by what happened moments ago.
00:07:42Well, I think we all are.
00:07:43The game plan was supposed to be breaking.
00:07:44Who was going to win this thing for the Vision?
00:07:46Well, that's been completely wiped out.
00:07:49We'll get into more of that soon, and surely to be wiped out may be Solo Sokoa.
00:07:53And Heyman's got to go back now and try to rally Logan and Bronson in two together.
00:07:57We've got a game plan.
00:07:58Who's going to win this thing out of those three?
00:07:59And driven shoulder first into the post.
00:08:02And entry number four in the men's Rumble match.
00:08:10Is Rey Mysterio, the Hall of Famer,
00:08:13who had one of the most miraculous Royal Rumble match victories in history
00:08:18back in 2006, when Mysterio would last over an hour
00:08:22that he would go on to WrestleMania to beat Kurt Angle
00:08:26and Randy Orton to win the World Heavyweight title.
00:08:30Well, he's going to have to do something very similar tonight
00:08:33if he's going to win this thing and go on to WrestleMania.
00:08:37And it does not get easy from the off.
00:08:40Solo Sokoa trying to pounce on him.
00:08:42Obafemi lurking in the corner.
00:08:44Remember, Mysterio went from number two when he won the matchup back in 2006.
00:08:49Okay, you're saying this is easy then, right?
00:08:51Oh, maybe.
00:08:51Number four, piece of cake.
00:08:53Everything's come easy to Rey Mysterio.
00:08:56A much fabled, mythical career,
00:08:59and that will only grow if he can pull this victory off tonight.
00:09:03In position.
00:09:04Looking for the 619, Solo Sokoa just lifting Rey onto his shoulders.
00:09:13Obafemi with a boot to the face.
00:09:16Solo Sokoa's riding high.
00:09:17He's just won the WWE tag titles for the MFT group.
00:09:22But he might be about to get turfed out of the Royal Rumble in double quick time.
00:09:26I like this.
00:09:27Obafemi's not staring at the clock.
00:09:29He's on the attack of Solo Sokoa.
00:09:31He's got it.
00:09:31Well, here's a man who made his debut in 2014 in the Royal Rumble match.
00:09:45He once lasted over 35 minutes.
00:09:50Rusev.
00:09:51The Bulgarian Brute, a former running buddy of mine in the League of Nations.
00:09:58Looking to grab the big one.
00:10:00Won a lot of gold in his career.
00:10:02Including the United States Championship.
00:10:04And he has no fear to go toe-to-toe with Obafemi.
00:10:08Rusev fears nobody.
00:10:09What a drop kick.
00:10:11And another one by Rusev.
00:10:13And Oba's still on his feet.
00:10:14Well, you know, it's immediately everyone's going for Obafemi
00:10:17because they know what a threat this guy is.
00:10:19And Rey Mysterio drops Rusev.
00:10:24And now Rey will connect with a 619.
00:10:28And the big stuff early is Rey Mysterio.
00:10:30And that's a dangerous place to be for...
00:10:32Okay, that's the second elimination of the night for Obafemi.
00:10:36Rusev sent over the top rope.
00:10:37Turn around, Oba.
00:10:38Solo Sokola with a kick.
00:10:41Dangerous hands there for Rey Mysterio.
00:10:43But Obafemi distracting.
00:10:45Solo for long and off.
00:10:47Well, he was looking for the Samoan spike.
00:10:49Ran into a backbreaker.
00:10:50And now Obafemi sends Solo Sokola over the top
00:10:53for elimination number three by Oba.
00:10:56Well, if there were any doubts about Obafemi...
00:10:59Oh, hold on.
00:11:00619 to the midsection by Mysterio.
00:11:02Don't get ahead of yourself, Oba.
00:11:03Long way to go yet.
00:11:05It's been an impressive start.
00:11:06But you have to sustain it in the Royal Rumble.
00:11:09Mysterio with a 619.
00:11:11So impressive after so many years.
00:11:14Oh, God.
00:11:14The look in the eye of Obafemi after a 619.
00:11:18That's not supposed to be the reaction.
00:11:20Obafemi just...
00:11:21More angry than I've ever seen.
00:11:24And Mysterio over the top.
00:11:26Hanging on.
00:11:26Not eliminated yet.
00:11:28Well, now he will be.
00:11:30Four eliminations for Febby.
00:11:32And Wade, this is starting to bring back flashbacks of 2020
00:11:37when Brock Lesnar eliminated 13 men in a row in the Rumble.
00:11:42Febby gets a little rest before number six heads in.
00:11:47Always ready.
00:11:49I spoke to Matt Cardona earlier today.
00:11:55And Cardona told me that he couldn't wait to enter his fifth Royal Rumble match tonight.
00:12:01Of course, returning to WWE a couple of months ago.
00:12:05Well, this is a very, very different version of Matt Cardona
00:12:09to the one we saw in the past.
00:12:12The old version that was a kid in a man's world.
00:12:14He's very different this time around.
00:12:17But there is a real man in that ring.
00:12:20And Matt Cardona needs to figure something out quick.
00:12:24Well, the interesting thing about this,
00:12:25all of the eliminations by Obafemi
00:12:27has made this really a one-on-one match at this point in time.
00:12:32Always ready.
00:12:33I don't know if you were ready for that one, Matt Cardona.
00:12:36I don't think anyone is.
00:12:37And now Oba.
00:12:39With a double knees right to the face of Femi.
00:12:41Spoke too soon, didn't I?
00:12:43Cardona.
00:12:43Missile block kick.
00:12:45Drives Femi to the corner.
00:12:46Cardona has some tricks.
00:12:48He's been around the block.
00:12:49He's battle-hardened.
00:12:51And now the boot to the face.
00:12:53Got to keep moving with Obafemi.
00:12:55Don't trade with him.
00:12:56Don't get caught close, because this will happen.
00:12:58Matt went for the Rough Rider.
00:13:00And the fall from Grace by Femi.
00:13:03That is the highest powerbomb Matt Cardona has experienced in his 20-plus year career.
00:13:11And it might signal the death knell for this Royal Rumble.
00:13:14Elimination number five for Obafemi.
00:13:19Obafemi is like a hot knife going through a block of butter in this Royal Rumble.
00:13:26This guy's a future world champion.
00:13:28A future WrestleMania main eventer.
00:13:30This guy is going to be the face of this company for many years to come.
00:13:34Well, you know, Wade, Damian Priest last night on SmackDown, he drew a number.
00:13:42He looked disappointed, but he said it wasn't going to stop him from winning the Rumble tonight.
00:13:46That number was number seven.
00:13:48And here comes Priest into the Rumble.
00:13:49I rarely like a sprint, but this is smart.
00:13:52Don't give Oba a rest.
00:13:54Giving him a break allows him to recover.
00:13:56Sprint in there and catch him when he's still breathing heavy.
00:13:59The sixth Rumble for the former world champion, Damian Priest.
00:14:05Damian Priest intimidated by nothing.
00:14:07Raised in the worst areas of the Bronx.
00:14:10And Puerto Rico, he's seen enough trouble in his life that he's not scared of anyone.
00:14:15Oh, what a close line.
00:14:17Although the streets of Puerto Rico didn't quite have this man.
00:14:23Obafemi.
00:14:24Look at the crowd here.
00:14:26Oba's going to kill you.
00:14:27And he made.
00:14:29Priest with a kick.
00:14:31Obafemi looks like a real game-changing athlete.
00:14:34Well, we talked a lot about it at Saturday night's main event back in December
00:14:37when he went toe-to-toe with Cody Rhodes.
00:14:39He did more.
00:14:39Oh, God, look at that.
00:14:40Priest is massive.
00:14:41He just caught.
00:14:43Oh, God.
00:14:43Priest caught him with a kick.
00:14:45You talk about that Cody Rhodes match in December.
00:14:49Obafemi dominated that one-on-one against arguably the best in WWE.
00:14:54But Priest now with a slightly softened up Obafemi is really making it count.
00:14:59This is the world heavyweight champion level that we've seen in the past from Damian Priest.
00:15:03Yeah, Priest using his mixed martial arts background to have Femi off balance here.
00:15:08Now looking to eliminate the ruler.
00:15:10But Femi able to intercept.
00:15:12The old boy is bouncy.
00:15:16And the young OG enters the Rumble for the first time at number eight.
00:15:21And this is interesting because he's had quite the history with Obafemi down at NXT.
00:15:26Yes, he has, which is why it's so surprising that the young OG seems so happy and elated to be getting into this Royal Rumble match at this particular time.
00:15:37Might be a little more apprehensive knowing what you already know about Obafemi and, of course, Damian Priest.
00:15:42Yeah, one of the, uh, he was signees to Monday Night Raw.
00:15:46Big coup pulled off our general manager, Adam Pearce.
00:15:50Craziest mover I've ever seen in the men's division.
00:15:53Floating around like a huge deal here.
00:15:55Oh, my God!
00:15:57And now Javon!
00:15:58Oh, he went for the cutter.
00:15:59He went for the cutter.
00:16:01And he got caught by Femi.
00:16:02And Femi now sends Javon Evans.
00:16:05And Javon sidesteps.
00:16:06Almost eliminated.
00:16:08Yeah, boy!
00:16:09Javon Evans!
00:16:10Oh, hanging on!
00:16:12Javon hanging on!
00:16:13Almost slipped there!
00:16:14Almost cost him!
00:16:14Great body controls.
00:16:15A long body of Javon Evans, too.
00:16:18Did very well to pick up those knees.
00:16:19Uh-oh, and Priest has got him.
00:16:20And this is where that high-flying athleticism gets you in trouble when you go up on the ropes too much.
00:16:26Javon Evans is incredible.
00:16:27How he stayed in this, I don't know, but he's still there!
00:16:30He just leaped over Femi to take out Priest.
00:16:34You can't get your hands on him!
00:16:35Whoa!
00:16:36Getting bouncy here tonight.
00:16:38What the hell was that?
00:16:39The young OG!
00:16:42I talked to him earlier.
00:16:43He was laughing.
00:16:44I don't think he realizes how momentous this moment is.
00:16:49Oh, no!
00:16:50Oh, no!
00:16:52Well, from AAA, none other than Mr. Iguana.
00:16:57And, uh, his Iguana pet, Lajeska.
00:17:01It's a puppet!
00:17:03It's real.
00:17:04It's not real!
00:17:05Iguana told me it's real.
00:17:07And it's almost certainly got parasites, regardless of what it is.
00:17:10And this guy has absolutely lost his mind.
00:17:15AAA's finest.
00:17:17Yeah, we've seen Mr. Iguana compete in the WWE a couple of times and across a body.
00:17:25Well, Riyadh have never quite seen anything like this guy.
00:17:28Well, Javon Evans was in the ring with Mr. Iguana in NXT back in October.
00:17:33Get that damn Iguana out of the damn ring!
00:17:37Well, the Iguana's not doing anything.
00:17:38Red titles are banned from ringside.
00:17:40Do you remember Jack Tunney?
00:17:41He made that rule many, many years ago.
00:17:45Damian Priest and Oba with a right hand to Priest.
00:17:51Everyone seems a little befuddled by Mr. Iguana.
00:17:57You know who we need out here is Graves, the voice of a AAA.
00:18:00Is he an Iguana fan?
00:18:04No, he's a journalist, Wade.
00:18:06He doesn't take sides.
00:18:07Bang!
00:18:08Kick by Evans, dropping Femi!
00:18:18Yeah, Priest is weirded out just like me.
00:18:20What's going on?
00:18:21Well, Lajeska.
00:18:25Rip his head off, Priest.
00:18:27And rip his head off, too.
00:18:28Don't hurt the animal.
00:18:29Oh, we're going to...
00:18:31Double chokes for him!
00:18:34Poor Lajeska.
00:18:36This guy is weird.
00:18:41He may be dead.
00:18:43Throw him out the rumble, then.
00:18:47Get ready for the lemon pepper steppers.
00:18:52Trick will he's here.
00:18:56Yeah, this is more like it.
00:18:59SmackDown newest star.
00:19:10It's amazing.
00:19:11Finds himself in the main event picture.
00:19:14And he's only been on SmackDown for a few weeks.
00:19:16And he's fighting in a white fur coat.
00:19:18And these two have had issues.
00:19:20Remember the match a couple of weeks ago, Wade?
00:19:23Of course, power him out to try and get to contend with Drew.
00:19:27Oh, there goes Iguana.
00:19:29There we go.
00:19:29Yeah, Trick just sent Iguana packing.
00:19:32And Lajeska eliminated as well.
00:19:34I guess that was 30 and a half competitors in this match tonight.
00:19:38No, just don't.
00:19:39Let's focus on Trick will he.
00:19:40As he's doing this thing.
00:19:42Mr. Whoop that is whooping that.
00:19:44Hey, he put 10 stitches in the mouth of Damian Priest a couple of weeks ago.
00:19:48He's going to put 20 in there tonight.
00:19:50And Wade, oh.
00:19:51Three guys who've dominated NXT over the past 12 months.
00:19:56The NXT where the future stars come from.
00:19:59And they're now here.
00:20:00How good have these three been since debut?
00:20:03What a factory it has been for making real, real stars in this game.
00:20:08Look at Trick Williams sending Javon out to the outside.
00:20:11Trying to double crash Evans, who hangs on.
00:20:13And now trying to eliminate over Femi.
00:20:15It may be impossible to throw out Javon Evans.
00:20:18He's got freakish abilities to cling on.
00:20:20Number 11.
00:20:31Looking to become just the second three-time winner of the Rumble.
00:20:36Joining Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:20:41Only four men have gone back to back.
00:20:45Cody Rhodes, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Shawn Michaels.
00:20:52Cody Rhodes feels like he was cheated out of the WWE Championship.
00:20:57And he's got a chance to get back to that title tonight if he wins.
00:21:06Yeah, because remember, Cody Rhodes does not have an opportunity to rematch at McIntyre.
00:21:16He has to win tonight.
00:21:18A different era now, no auto-rematches.
00:21:20You want to get back to the top of the mountain, earn it, Cody.
00:21:23And you've got to win it the hard way.
00:21:24Eleven's not a great draw, but we know Cody can dig deeper than most.
00:21:29And Damian Priest now from behind.
00:21:31Priest who made his debut back in the 2021 Royal Rumble.
00:21:35Cody Cotter!
00:21:44The ring beginning to fill up.
00:21:47This is like something that Alex made of that all over again.
00:21:50I'm going to walk these two out until it was ruined.
00:21:52By Drew McIntyre.
00:21:54Some unfinished business between the ruler and the nightmare.
00:21:57Yes, this guy!
00:22:06Number 11.
00:22:10There is a Ryo in Bravo as El Grande Americano makes his way into his first Royal Rumble.
00:22:20The absolute best legioner on planet Earth with a hundred plus years of experience.
00:22:28You're not outmatching this guy in the ring.
00:22:30Would you just say a hundred?
00:22:31Yeah, he goes back a long, long way.
00:22:34Found the fountain of youth in Mexico.
00:22:36And he's been drinking it ever since.
00:22:38Again, Wade, I think he's been around for months now.
00:22:41You're the one who claims to be a journalist, right?
00:22:43I think, I thought Wikipedia would have more facts on this dude.
00:22:47Tell you what, Kurt.
00:22:48Uh-oh, Javon still hanging on again.
00:22:50It's all underground fighting in Mexico.
00:22:52You don't follow it on Wikipedia.
00:22:54You need to speak to a real journalist like Corey Graves.
00:22:56He'll tell you that himself.
00:22:59Well, JBL, he's on that show too, right?
00:23:01He's a good lad, JBL.
00:23:02He would back me on this one.
00:23:04And El Grande's making a real scene in this.
00:23:07Uh-oh!
00:23:08Up over the top, out to the apron.
00:23:10Dangerous times here for El Grande Americano.
00:23:13And Javon Evans hung him on the top rope.
00:23:16Oh, you like that for a cutter, Javon?
00:23:18Oh, look at this.
00:23:18Oh, hold on.
00:23:19Yeah, there's that metal plate that El Grande puts into his mask to cheat.
00:23:24It's an eczema patch.
00:23:25He's got eczema on the forehead.
00:23:27How do you know he wears a mask?
00:23:28Because I speak to him and he gives me the information.
00:23:30He doesn't speak to him.
00:23:31You don't speak Spanish.
00:23:35He told me with his eyes.
00:23:36What the hell's this?
00:23:40What the hell's this?
00:23:41Well, we'll read the board.
00:23:43It says the original El Grande Americano.
00:23:46See, I told you.
00:23:47I told you that there was an imposter.
00:23:49I told you that there's 4-1 El Grande Americano.
00:23:52This is a tribute.
00:23:54You've got to believe me.
00:23:55This is not the...
00:23:56Get this guy out of here.
00:23:58Is this the guy who did the stomp earlier too?
00:24:00And the Americanos squaring off.
00:24:07Is that Finn Balor on the left?
00:24:09Has he found a backdoor entry to the Royal Rumble?
00:24:12Will you stop?
00:24:14And now, El Grande Americano and original El Grande Americano.
00:24:20Who's original?
00:24:21I don't know.
00:24:21They had it on the board.
00:24:22The tall guy's the real El Grande Americano.
00:24:26No idea who this clown is.
00:24:28And now, look.
00:24:29Oh, hold on.
00:24:29They're trying to unmask this imposter.
00:24:32You don't take off a luchador's mask.
00:24:34That is just sacrosanct.
00:24:36Oh, that Death Valley driver delivered by El Grande Americano.
00:24:41That's the elegance I associate with El Grande Americano.
00:24:45Not this second guy who came in.
00:24:48Oh, caught in a little German suplex.
00:24:52That looks familiar.
00:24:53Wow, great technique there from this guy.
00:24:55The original.
00:24:56I'm not calling him El Grande Americano.
00:24:58He's not.
00:24:59He's an imposter and he's getting thrown out here.
00:25:01He's been out and out of the apron, hanging on, and now trying to unmask.
00:25:06Oh, well, you've got a dilemma here.
00:25:07Do you hold on or do you stop yourself getting revealed?
00:25:10What's it going to be?
00:25:11Oh, he's got a third option.
00:25:13And Senza, El Grande Americano, and both have been eliminated.
00:25:20That was strange.
00:25:22Well, that was more bizarre than Mr. Ikuana.
00:25:25Let's see where that one's going.
00:25:29We know where this one's going.
00:25:30Trick Willie's about to get eliminated.
00:25:33By Cody Rhodes.
00:25:35That may be Lemon Pepper stepping all the way to the showers now, sadly.
00:25:41Trick Williams eliminated.
00:25:42And there it is.
00:25:44Damian Priest delivering the south of heaven.
00:25:47Number 14.
00:25:49Number 14.
00:25:54Yeah!
00:26:03He was once known as Powerhouse Hobbs.
00:26:07Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Royce Keys to WWE.
00:26:14Oh, wow.
00:26:15The rumors are true.
00:26:18Social media has been buzzing about this guy.
00:26:20A massive free agent, also known as the Mom Stunt.
00:26:27And I have followed his career.
00:26:29He is a powerhouse in every sense of the word.
00:26:31And he's going to go toe-to-toe and face-to-face with Damian Priest.
00:26:35Thickness of this guy, Royce Keys.
00:26:39He looks like a major acquisition.
00:26:43And caught.
00:26:44Priest caught.
00:26:45Easy power for this guy.
00:26:47And now with Priest on his shoulders.
00:26:50And the running power slam.
00:26:51This is one take-no-prisoners kind of guy.
00:26:55No-nonsense human being.
00:26:58And he's got the biggest opportunity.
00:26:59And he eliminates Priest.
00:27:00Oh, God.
00:27:01If you know anything about this man's background,
00:27:03and there's plenty of time to get into that down the road,
00:27:05he's had a lot of adversity growing up.
00:27:07But Royce Keys will always rise to the occasion.
00:27:10I don't think any moment is too big for him.
00:27:12Yeah, he certainly has.
00:27:13What a spine buster!
00:27:15A spine buster on poor old Javon Evans.
00:27:18And now Cody Rhodes.
00:27:20Cody has had some run-ins with this man in the past.
00:27:26Certainly in cross passing.
00:27:28Cody has no answer for this level of strength that Royce Keys possesses.
00:27:32Number 15 and the first member of the Vision.
00:27:38And it's going to be interesting to see how Paul Heyman change the strategy.
00:27:43With Braun Breaker attacked and then eliminated from the Rumble early on,
00:27:46there are three Vision members left.
00:27:48The first one to come to the ring is the man Heyman calls the pressure,
00:27:51Austin Theory.
00:27:52And Austin Theory looks absolutely furious, presumably based on what he saw earlier,
00:27:57that copycat attack, eerily similar to the ones Austin Theory was pulling off late last year,
00:28:04prior to being brought into the Vision.
00:28:07Now Theory.
00:28:08Man, what a kick dropping Evans.
00:28:10I suppose in a completely selfish way, it opens the door for Austin Theory to win the Royal Rumble.
00:28:16Now that Braun Breaker has been taken out, and that's an intriguing one in and of itself.
00:28:21You know, Cody Rhodes had great success in Saudi Arabia, won the King of the Ring here.
00:28:26Of course, the first ever Brown Jewel Championship.
00:28:28And right now, he's fourth all-time in cumulative time spent in Royal Rumble matches.
00:28:33It's Javon Evans now.
00:28:34Looks to be eliminated by Austin Theory.
00:28:37Eerily close to getting booted out.
00:28:39Here is Javon Evans.
00:28:40Be a lot of upset people around the world, because he has a massively growing fan base.
00:28:47I'd like to take this moment real quick to thank my guys, John Chick, Greg Miller,
00:28:51for all the help with these great stats for the Royal Rumble matches.
00:28:54Evans tries to hang on, trying to hang on to the second row.
00:28:57Kick to the face now of Theory.
00:28:58Evans is still hanging in there.
00:29:00He's finding creative ways to stay involved.
00:29:04Oh, wow.
00:29:05This is big.
00:29:07Yeah, Theory's got some help.
00:29:08This is colossal.
00:29:10The 330-pound Ostera from the Vision, Boston Free.
00:29:18Well, urgently getting in there to help Austin Theory out.
00:29:21And now there is two men from the Vision in there.
00:29:24Undoubtedly, there is some game plan in place from Paul Heyman.
00:29:28From the original one, that was Brock Breakers.
00:29:31That one's got the help.
00:29:32Oh, God.
00:29:35Tsunami!
00:29:36To Javon Evans.
00:29:37And immediately, the game plan is in for the Vision here, working as a duo, but Obafemi has other ideas.
00:29:45Well, there's the double team by Bronson in Theory, taking the ruler down.
00:29:50They're hitting that high, low.
00:29:51There's no way one man alone was going to take down Obafemi.
00:29:56Eliminating him, though, is another matter entirely.
00:29:58And now there's Royce Keys and the massive Bronson Reed throwing hammers.
00:30:02Obafemi has been in over 25 minutes since he entered number one.
00:30:06And now Cody Rhodes in trouble.
00:30:09Over here on the left side of the ring.
00:30:12Five eliminations, man.
00:30:14Obafemi, that is astoundingly good.
00:30:19What an impressive showing from him.
00:30:21But this Royce Keys, I've got to keep my eye on him.
00:30:23He's causing major damage.
00:30:24Number 17 on his way.
00:30:31Let the pain entertain you.
00:30:35The Mad Dragon, Ilya Dragunov.
00:30:38And do you think this match has been visible so far?
00:30:41Wait until the czar of WWE gets in the ring.
00:30:45Oh, this guy is absolutely nuts.
00:30:47But what a spectacle it is, as we saw on SmackDown last night, in that war with The Miz.
00:30:52He's victorious in the end with one of those H-bombs.
00:30:56You know, I talked to Miz earlier today.
00:30:58He says he's never been hit as hard as he was last night by Dragunov.
00:31:02Yeah, guys cower in fear when they realize they've got to get in the ring with Dragunov.
00:31:06Dragunov's not unbeatable, but he's certainly going to leave you with a hell of a lot of bruises.
00:31:11Constantine special from Dragunov.
00:31:15You've got to wonder, when Heyman and the Vision regrouped in the back,
00:31:18do you think they picked someone that they want to win this Rumble,
00:31:21whether it's Theory or Reed or Logan Paul?
00:31:24I mean, the game plan is essentially the same.
00:31:26Work as a trio now, rather than a quartet.
00:31:29Eliminate everyone.
00:31:30The question comes when it's three at the end,
00:31:32who has Heyman selected as the guy who's going to lead the charge
00:31:35instead of the game plan of Brom Bray?
00:31:38Cody out to the apron.
00:31:38That's a bit we don't know.
00:31:39Dragunov looking to eliminate the two-time Royal Rumble winner, Cody Rhodes.
00:31:45Cody in a must-win situation.
00:31:47If he wants a rematch in the WWE title.
00:31:50Clinging on a little bit here is Cody.
00:31:53And the last thing you want in that situation is the Mad Dragon all over you,
00:31:57which Cody is facing here.
00:31:59Number 18 from Triple A, La Parca.
00:32:10Wow, a legendary character from Mexican Lucha Libre Lore.
00:32:16Previous incarnation of this guy competed in WCW many years ago.
00:32:23Current version, fourth generation star from the Alvarado dynasty.
00:32:27Part of Los Brassos, which included former WWE star Super Porky,
00:32:33my favorite Lucha of all time.
00:32:34Yeah, I loved him.
00:32:35And meanwhile, La Parca, you know he's the favorite wrestler of boxer Canelo Alvarez
00:32:41at a Triple A show last month.
00:32:43Alvarez actually wore his mask at ringside.
00:32:46And that is a big-time supporter there for La Parca.
00:32:51And La Parca with a kick to Dragunov.
00:32:53Dragunov up on his shoulders.
00:32:56Oh!
00:32:57Unique offense there.
00:32:59Spinning power slam.
00:33:01Little dance for good measure, too.
00:33:04What a fatal four-way at Triple A a bit ago.
00:33:07A real joy to watch.
00:33:10And now turns his attention to Royce Keys.
00:33:13La Parca really captivating pushing, catching in Triple A.
00:33:17But how big would that be for Triple A for one of their roster
00:33:21to go on to WrestleMania and compete for a world title here?
00:33:25Oh, but Femi's still in the match.
00:33:27He entered at number one.
00:33:31Javon Evans getting a hurt one on him right now.
00:33:34Dragon Lee will enter the Rumble for the first time in his career
00:33:45at number 19.
00:33:47Two superstars, John Cena and Roman Reigns.
00:33:51One from the number 19 position.
00:33:54Will Dragun Lee have such luck?
00:33:56An exhilarating young man from the small town of Tallahallisco, Mexico.
00:34:01And that town right now is going nuts as their man tries to compete
00:34:06to win this thing.
00:34:07Let's not forget, once upon a time, not so long ago,
00:34:10Rey Mysterio called Dragun Lee the future of Lucha Libre.
00:34:16Yeah, former world tag team champion with the now retired, AJ Styles.
00:34:22So much fire on the heart of Dragun Lee,
00:34:26and just taking down all comers with that superior movement.
00:34:29Yeah, Dragun Lee wanted to be a boxer in his early days.
00:34:34Turned his attention to the sport of professional wrestling,
00:34:37and he's been so successful.
00:34:39And Bronson Reed now, Dragun Lee with a DDT.
00:34:42Dragun Lee just so elusive, so difficult to pin down.
00:34:46Just outfoxing all these powerful guys in there.
00:34:50Knows he's never going to outpower many people in this kind of match,
00:34:53but Austin Theory now clinging on.
00:34:55Yeah, Oba looking for his sixth elimination here tonight
00:34:58as entry number 20 is on his way.
00:35:05Oh, Ada.
00:35:07The vision is now whole,
00:35:09with the exception, of course, of Braun Breaker,
00:35:11who was eliminated early on.
00:35:13You've got to think to yourself,
00:35:14with the addition of Logan Paul into this match,
00:35:18Braun Breaker, Austin Theory,
00:35:20and the Maverick himself are now in cold position
00:35:22to win this entire thing.
00:35:25Work as a unit,
00:35:26devastate the field,
00:35:28and then figure it out from the final three.
00:35:30On a close line by Logan Paul,
00:35:32kicked to the midsection of La Parca.
00:35:35Gutwrench suplex by Paul,
00:35:37and it's interesting to see how Logan Paul
00:35:38will improve under the tutelage of the Oracle,
00:35:41Paul Heyman.
00:35:42Uh-oh, turn around.
00:35:43Turn around, Royce Keyes.
00:35:45Heyman can't help you now.
00:35:46And Logan, of course,
00:35:52that boxing background with the rights and left to Keyes.
00:35:55Keyes just shaking him off.
00:35:57The biggest puncher in the game,
00:35:58and it just bounced off the ribcage of Royce Keyes.
00:36:02World's strongest slam by Royce Keyes.
00:36:08And Bronson's like,
00:36:09try doing that to me, Big.
00:36:12Big boys don't like each other in this game.
00:36:15And Austin Theory with a cheap shot from behind.
00:36:21And now Logan Paul,
00:36:22and now the Vision starting to work together.
00:36:25Uh-oh.
00:36:26To eliminate Royce Keyes.
00:36:28And that's there.
00:36:29That right there,
00:36:30that trifecta of offense from the Vision,
00:36:33taking out Royce Keyes,
00:36:35who's been really impressive,
00:36:37is exactly why they are the biggest threat in this match.
00:36:40Yeah, the Vision's starting to stake their claim to the ring here.
00:36:47I'll tell you right now,
00:36:48Bronson Reed,
00:36:49Logan Paul,
00:36:50and, oh God,
00:36:51look at that,
00:36:51La Parka's gone.
00:36:52Yeah, thanks for coming.
00:36:54All three of the Vision individually could win this thing as a trio.
00:36:59Tell me where the weakness is.
00:37:01Look at the three-on-one attack of Dragon Lee.
00:37:03Looking to systematically eliminate everyone in the Rumble.
00:37:08Lee is out.
00:37:11Whatever game plan,
00:37:13Paul Heyman rapidly put together in the aftermath of that attack.
00:37:17Incredibly smart.
00:37:24At number 21,
00:37:28the return of L.A. Knights.
00:37:30The last time we saw him
00:37:33was back in December, Wade.
00:37:35He was tsunami-ed through a car
00:37:37by Bronson Reed.
00:37:39Boy, oh boy,
00:37:40all day I have felt my loins tingling,
00:37:43and this man is locked in
00:37:44on going after the trio
00:37:46who took him out,
00:37:47the Vision.
00:37:48And L.A. Knight going right after the Vision.
00:37:51Trying to be a one-man wrecking crew here
00:37:53in his second Royal Rumble match of his career.
00:37:56Well, the Megastar looking to shut down
00:37:59the Vision's master plan
00:38:00but it was a bite too much
00:38:02even for him.
00:38:06Reed sent it into the corner
00:38:08to crush L.A. Knight.
00:38:10Straight back onto that Sternum
00:38:12that was damaged so badly.
00:38:13Theory over the top of the left.
00:38:15And Knight sends Theory out.
00:38:18Just out.
00:38:19Now, Bronson Reed's in the Vision.
00:38:23Trying to send Bronson Reed
00:38:25over the top rope.
00:38:26I don't see that happening.
00:38:32B.F.T.
00:38:35So much pain to the ground.
00:38:36Oh, there it is!
00:38:36He's got it!
00:38:38Logan Paul,
00:38:39the only one left
00:38:41in the Vision.
00:38:43They picked the wrong enemy
00:38:45in L.A. Knight.
00:38:47Paul Heyman thought he had it all figured out, didn't he?
00:38:52His Rumble dreams
00:38:53are about to go up in smoke.
00:38:55Oh, my God.
00:39:08Speaking of Paul Heyman.
00:39:10Paul Heyman is marching out here
00:39:12with the Beast.
00:39:15I'm afraid I've got some bad news.
00:39:19We're about to witness
00:39:21a mass extinction event.
00:39:28A two-time Royal Rumble winner.
00:39:31And what a rivalry he has had
00:39:33with Cody Rhodes.
00:39:35Lesnar won the Rumble in 2003.
00:39:38He won it back in 2022
00:39:39when he eliminated 13 men.
00:39:42And anyone in that ring
00:39:46currently has Acid Dread
00:39:48pumping through their veins
00:39:50knowing what is heading their way.
00:39:53You might want to jump out now.
00:39:55I correct myself.
00:39:56He eliminated five in his win in 2022.
00:39:59And welcome to Suplex City,
00:40:01ladies and gentlemen.
00:40:05The world was shocked
00:40:07that Brock Lesnar knew
00:40:08how to use FaceTime
00:40:09when he called the Pat McAfee Show
00:40:11earlier this week
00:40:12to say he was on his way to Riyadh,
00:40:14on his way to the Rumble.
00:40:16Because he's a mass of DNA
00:40:18built to do one thing,
00:40:20wage war on humanity.
00:40:22Oh, God.
00:40:24Oh, decapitated.
00:40:27Brock Lesnar is massive.
00:40:29Has lasted over 35 minutes.
00:40:33F5 to Javon Evans.
00:40:35Ladies and gentlemen,
00:40:44as the immortal Gorilla Monsoon would say,
00:40:48the irresistible force
00:40:50meets the immovable object.
00:40:55Awesome.
00:40:56And the buzzkill, Miz.
00:41:03Miz needs to get in there
00:41:04and hit them
00:41:05in the occipital perturberus.
00:41:08Well, Gorilla Monsoon,
00:41:09for your Michael Cole.
00:41:10The Miz entering
00:41:10his 17th Royal Rumble match,
00:41:13one shy of the record,
00:41:1418 held by Kane.
00:41:16Slide back out, Miz.
00:41:17It's not worth it.
00:41:19Yeah, smart.
00:41:21Brilliant.
00:41:23Well, he had his,
00:41:24he was knocked for a loop last night
00:41:25when he had that match with Dragunov,
00:41:27so he might not be thinking straight.
00:41:28Well, these guys all taking
00:41:29the cheap shots
00:41:30on the two big guys in there.
00:41:32Perhaps wasn't the smart thing to do.
00:41:34Let the two big guys
00:41:36take each other out,
00:41:37but really a rush of blood to the head.
00:41:40They saw their chance
00:41:41and they're working Dragunov.
00:41:42Oh, my God.
00:41:44Brock Lesnar
00:41:45just tossing Dragunov
00:41:48over the top rope into the floor.
00:41:50He's eliminated.
00:41:51Just a death grip.
00:41:52Cody tries to hold on,
00:41:54dropped hard on that shoulder.
00:41:55Lesnar's just manhandling people.
00:41:59Shouldn't be a surprise.
00:42:00We've seen this
00:42:01from the very beginning,
00:42:03and now we are back
00:42:04to what we all want to see.
00:42:06The ruler and the beast.
00:42:17Brock's like,
00:42:18you want to try me?
00:42:20Man, what a spectacular match
00:42:25this man had
00:42:27against Carmelo Hayes
00:42:28to the United States Championship
00:42:30last night on SmackDown.
00:42:32Rey Fenix.
00:42:34And this number
00:42:35is a pretty good number,
00:42:37but it's not
00:42:38when you look in the ring
00:42:39of Brock Lesnar
00:42:40and Obafemi
00:42:40are stood up there
00:42:41looking at you.
00:42:43Suddenly becomes
00:42:43the worst number of them all.
00:42:45And Rey Fenix
00:42:46top rope caught by Brock.
00:42:48That's why it's
00:42:48the worst number of them all.
00:42:50And using Fenix
00:42:51as a weapon.
00:42:54Here we go, Cole.
00:42:55German suplex to Fabi.
00:42:57He's outmaneuvered
00:42:59by the world's
00:42:59most famous
00:43:00combat athlete.
00:43:01How is it possible
00:43:02that Brock Lesnar
00:43:03looks bigger and bigger
00:43:05every time we see him?
00:43:10F5!
00:43:10Paul Heyman all excited
00:43:14out here.
00:43:15Another elimination
00:43:16for Lesnar.
00:43:18Rey Fenix out of there.
00:43:19Thanks for coming.
00:43:20Try again next year
00:43:21and hope that Brock Lesnar
00:43:22isn't in there.
00:43:23It's funny.
00:43:24Paul Heyman's out here
00:43:24with Lesnar.
00:43:25It's like he threw
00:43:26the vision to the curb.
00:43:30The vision outside.
00:43:32The Maverick,
00:43:32Logan Paul
00:43:33are all out of here anyway.
00:43:34Why not throw your hand
00:43:35in the ring?
00:43:36The close line
00:43:37knocks down Lesnar.
00:43:39Two Titans collider.
00:43:40I don't know
00:43:41what you're thinking of here.
00:43:42Well, Logan trying
00:43:42to hang on.
00:43:43Knocked off the top rope.
00:43:46Peel those fingers off.
00:43:47Oh!
00:43:47Oh, the main mistake.
00:43:49He turned his back
00:43:50on Lesnar
00:43:50and it cost the ruler.
00:43:52Well, a youthful
00:43:54exuberance there.
00:43:56Uso!
00:43:59Hey, hey,
00:44:00main event Jey Uso.

00:44:07looks to go back-to-back.
00:44:09He went to Mania last year

00:44:12Meanwhile,
00:44:13Obafemi
00:44:14Obafemi
00:44:16lasted 39 minutes
00:44:18in his first Royal Rumble

00:44:23draw of them all.
00:44:26But wow,
00:44:27did he make a major
00:44:28impact tonight.
00:44:30Gonna see a lot of that man
00:44:31in the future
00:44:31just like we've seen
00:44:32a lot of this man,
00:44:34Jey Uso,
00:44:35in the past.
00:44:37Jey Uso
00:44:38looking to join
00:44:39an illustrious club.
00:44:41Only four superstars
00:44:43have won
00:44:43consecutive rumbles.
00:44:46Lesnar
00:44:46eliminated
00:44:47by Cody and Knight.
00:44:53Hulk Hogan,

00:44:55Stone Cold Steve Austin,
00:44:57Cody Rhodes,
00:44:58the only superstars
00:44:59to go back-to-back.
00:45:00And that had to feel
00:45:01good for Cody
00:45:02after everything
00:45:03he went through
00:45:03a couple of years ago
00:45:04with Lesnar.
00:45:05Yeah, get Lesnar out there
00:45:06any way you can.
00:45:08Certainly the pathway
00:45:08is open for everyone
00:45:09and Heyman at least
00:45:11has one horse left
00:45:12in the race.
00:45:13That being the Maverick,
00:45:15Logan Paul.
00:45:16But Yeet Mania
00:45:17is taking over here
00:45:18and we're gonna
00:45:18well damp it up.
00:45:20Yeah.
00:45:20Jey Uso fired up.
00:45:22Looking to win again.
00:45:23So this audience,
00:45:24there was a wave
00:45:25that took him
00:45:25all the way to victory
00:45:26last year.
00:45:27Can he ride it
00:45:28once again?
00:45:29All the way
00:45:30to the showcase
00:45:31of the Immortals.
00:45:39Jey taking his time.
00:45:41You don't blame him.
00:45:43Well, that's a vet move
00:45:44right there.
00:45:45Six men
00:45:46in the matchup right now.
00:45:47Javon Evans right in front
00:45:48of us trying to hang on.
00:45:49Evans trying to hang on.
00:45:50He's supposed to be eliminated.
00:45:51Right here in front of us, Wade.
00:45:53Cody Rhodes trying to eliminate Evans.
00:45:54We're gonna run it back.
00:45:56Hold on, Javon.
00:45:57Don't drop you.
00:45:58I want to enjoy
00:45:59the heat mania.
00:46:02Ooh.
00:46:03When you sit down,
00:46:04you look like an ostrich.
00:46:07I got rid of him.
00:46:08Hey, it's on me now.
00:46:10Careful of that, J.
00:46:12You might get turfed out.
00:46:14Walks to the sky!
00:46:15I got rid of him.
00:46:41RPC, RPC, RPC!
00:46:42the winner of the 2015 royal rumble one of the most prolific wwe champions in history
00:46:58on a perennial wrestlemania main eventer i don't know if you caught it but roman
00:47:08reigns had some a lot of controversial comments on the pat mcafee show on espn to talk about the state
00:47:15of wwe today and he says he's back to reclaim his throne this is interesting what's going to happen
00:47:22here cousin and cousin we're going to work together
00:47:33there you go
00:47:38roman reigns roman reigns with a right hand no time to play games in the rumble sun
00:47:53well forget about family it's about women now and i thought jay and roman with super bad punch
00:47:58roman reigns only has eyes for victory super bad punch oh yes sir roman fired up
00:48:13well there is no time for sentiment in wrestlemania season by otc oh here we go
00:48:27one more time the cody roman saga continues
00:48:40and cody rhodes has an enemy before him in the ring in roman reigns but he has a far more recent
00:48:55enemy heading down to the ring you can forget that rule last week at second tonight's main event and cody
00:49:02rose oh runs right into a right hand it's interesting jacob fatu and roman reigns are cousins wade
00:49:10you'll see how this breaks down as cody is driven into the ring post to be clear cody went through the
00:49:16ropes there not over the top rope he's still legal in this match jacob fatu hasn't yet even got in the
00:49:21ring though that changes now oh rogan trying to look and paul trying to isolate roman reigns jacob fatu going
00:49:28right up the cody roads la night runs into a boot by jacob the unhinged fatu the most terrifying force
00:49:37the industry has perhaps seen in a long time just a whirlwind of violence oh my god oh what a samoan
00:49:48drop a pop-up samoan drop by jacob fatu the highest pop-up you'll ever see and turn around jacob i was just
00:49:55about to say what a phenomenal performance from javon evans so far
00:50:02i mentioned before cousins staring each other down and cody rhodes goes right right after jacob so much
00:50:11bad blood between those two of course warren with the bloodline on occasion has been jacob fatu when
00:50:17he first entered wwe major major problems for roman reigns now jayuso goes right after cody rhodes
00:50:23and now roman and jay what day shouts out to brother jimmy the usos of course the tag team champions
00:50:34here comes penta
00:50:51the iron man of last year's men's royal rumble match lasting over 42 minutes
00:50:57and no time for the strut he wants to get in there and start hurling bodies to the ground
00:51:06two superstars of a one from this number 28 position how spectacular batista
00:51:12as penta be and now logan paul ripped into the corner kicked by penta penta spent just an incredible
00:51:20addition to the monday night raw roster he's had a problems with division and well their lone member
00:51:26remember remaining in this matchup uh logan paul been a rough night for paul hayman breaker eliminated
00:51:32early after that attack by this hooded dude bronson reed austin theory as well and there's the
00:51:37backstabber and brock lesnar eliminated hayman came out here riding his coattails i'll tell you right now
00:51:42that rough night all goes away if the maverick logan paul could win this thing that is a tabloid's
00:51:47dream to see him main events in wrestlemania for the superman punch punch force trauma delivered by
00:51:53la knight cody rhodes now has knight where he wants him went to the crossroads ddt by la knight
00:52:02right into the corner launched out to the apron still in this cody off a second rope with a disaster
00:52:10kick it down goes la knight eliminated it was a hell of an effort from la knight who perhaps burned
00:52:18himself out early warring with the vision and paid the price in the latter stages
00:52:32the two-time royal rumble winner the 14-time world champion randy orton at number 29 a spot where
00:52:45both brock lesnar and edge won the royal rumble match and the ring is getting packed with some of the
00:52:53biggest stars in history and a sadistic looking unrepentant viper is about to cause some major
00:53:03damage randy made it clear last night that he is chasing number 15 that would put him third place
00:53:10all-time in the record books as a world champion in wwe trailing just john cena and rick flair right now at 14
00:53:18he's tied with triple h
00:53:24well i think we know who we had want to win
00:53:35and randy orton back's a favorite for any match he's competing in especially with that favorable draw
00:53:42of number 29. double vintage orton the drapey dd teams one man remains to enter the royal rumble as
00:53:57randy orton is coiled the viper ready to strike
00:54:01rko bad move logan paul penta right in the hamstring look at penta well-placed kicks
00:54:14stinging shots to randy orton chopping it down
00:54:19rko out of nowhere yeah don't turn your back on the apex predator always poised always ready to strike the
00:54:28last entry into the men's royal rumble
00:54:36this could be one of the most historic nights in the history of professional wrestling if gunther
00:54:44can pull off the win gunther retired aj styles earlier and now looks to win the rumble to main
00:54:52event wrestlemania well you compete in a long match like gunther had earlier you really have no
00:54:58chance of winning the royal rumble except for two things number one he's drawn the best number of
00:55:04all number 30 number two this is gunther this guy is a machine gunther is limping on his way to the
00:55:13ring after being caught in the cap crusher by aj styles earlier tonight will that hint her the career
00:55:19killer killer gunther apparently not by that shot and you know you mentioned uh german suplex number 35
00:55:26superstars have won from that spot over the years look at the knee gunther though that's weak yeah now
00:55:33javon evans who's had a spectacular performance thus far in his very first rumble caught by gunther
00:55:40blam's on his feet yeah freakish freakish agility
00:55:46and down goes gunther
00:55:49well look it was optimistic at best that gunther could come here in clean house but
00:55:54the same cannot be said for randy orton poised and once again ready to strike dreams may end tonight
00:56:01javon and look at this over 40 minutes in this match for javon evans in his rumble debut
00:56:08evans with a big kick man he comes up with some innovative offense what a fairytale story this will
00:56:14be how old is javon evans was 2021 21 21 years old and you could potentially win the royal rumble
00:56:22that is obscene there are nine men left in this match you think it's dawned on javon evans who he's in the
00:56:29ring with i hope not the og cutter but he got caught intercepted into the rko and that might be
00:56:38night night javon evans and javon's magical night is over that young man has a lot to be proud about
00:56:46and that was brilliant from javon evans and gunther is the most hated man in wrestling after retiring
00:56:53several of your favorites is also hated of course by many in the locker room for the same reason
00:56:59eight men remain one of them's going to wrestlemania uh that didn't pay off for penta dropped by gunther
00:57:07randy orton now from behind rko to the career killer the man once known as the legend killer
00:57:15took out the career killer cody trying to throw out gunther knew he had to keep his eyes on randy orton
00:57:22because that randy will strike these two are friends oh it's every man for himself friendship goes out the
00:57:27window when there's an opportunity a title at stake cannot drop your car but both men clearly with a
00:57:34major disdain for gunther and his actions over the past several months there are seven men left in this
00:57:40match
00:57:46oh he caught her to randy orton i think he was looking for gunther there well randy was holding gunther
00:57:52gunther elusive at the right moment friendly fire there from cody jacob fatu sends cody out to the apron
00:57:59trying to hang on roads trying to get back into the ring oh no a claymore by drew mcintyre
00:58:09mcintyre has eliminated cody rhodes from the royal rumble and he's also eliminated the potential of cody
00:58:17facing mcintyre at wrestlemania there's nothing to the madness and now roman reigns eliminating his
00:58:25cousin jacob fatu was distracted seeing drew mcintyre there a man who he plays for that
00:58:32sneaker oh god oh god watch out jay usso trying to eliminate his cousin
00:58:36a little payback from earlier tonight right they're too brute tight
00:58:44that was delivered some malice well roman reigns has always lorded it over jay usso
00:58:52we are down to four
00:58:55four
00:59:05remain roman reigns randy orton the career killer gunther and the maverick logan paul
00:59:16three former world champions and one maverick logan paul
00:59:26high stakes high drama the main event at wrestlemania
00:59:30hangs in the balance pick a winner out of these four good luck with that
00:59:37so you've pretty much got a 25 chance whoever you pick there's no favorite at this point
00:59:47what's the strategy here do not make a mistake that's it
00:59:55and orton goes for gunther roman reigns and logan paul exchange blows
01:00:08two separate fights in the ring all with the same aim here
01:00:12and gunther is so beaten down after that matchup with aj styles he may be the weakest here
01:00:17at this point it's not do you see that logan sent out to the apron trying to stay in this that
01:00:22titanium loaded right hand of logan paul will it come into play there is that oh it went for the
01:00:26slingshot clothesline and roman reigns made him pay just beat him for the punch on that one
01:00:30little stumble from logan paul and i said don't make a mistake the stumble was the mistake and now
01:00:36it's three
01:00:36rko
01:00:37gunther
01:00:42eliminates orton we are down to two we are down to two
01:00:46gunther who has been a runner-up before when he set a men's record in the royal rumble match
01:01:00the hatred for gunther the love and adoration for roman reigns the contrast between these two
01:01:08amongst these fans in riyadh could not be greater
01:01:12wade what an historic night this would be for the ring general oh it would be crazy but it's been
01:01:18a crazy career and you put nothing past gunther but the question is for these fans will it be agony
01:01:25or ecstasy it was the sleeper hold that retired aj styles earlier tonight
01:01:30gunther trying to lock it in there now with roman reigns up roman reigns fighting
01:01:34reigns fighting back body drop gunther out to the apron
01:01:38got to smartly cling it on there always has ring awareness like no other
01:01:43right with a superman punch caught by a right hand by gunther
01:01:46and gunther right back into the ring now and once again looks for the sleeper hold
01:01:51what do you do you make roman completely unconscious put him to sleep
01:01:55and then pick up about 270 pounds of samoan and turf him out and now roman reigns again the ropes
01:02:01don't cause any sort of break roman just trying to get there for leverage to try to break the
01:02:05sleeper hold now of gunther out any way you can and an elbow to the solar plexus just about does it
01:02:13but gunther going back for more back to the middle of the ring roman reigns went for the superman punch
01:02:18caught by gunther again and back into the devastating sleeper yeah that's two misses on the superman punch
01:02:25gunther simply has it figured out at this point
01:02:30and if roman fades gunther just got to lift up that dead weight toss it over the the top rope that's
01:02:35tough enough in itself well what were you saying earlier fade to black and that is what roman reigns
01:02:42is facing right here we've seen it once tonight with the career of aj styles and we're about to see it again
01:02:48with the otc roman trying to somehow hang on trying to somehow fight back main event at wrestlemania
01:02:54hangs in the balance gunther set into the corner how deep you're gonna dig and a spear by reigns
01:03:01gunther back to his feet gunther eliminated roman reigns did it roman reigns is going to wrestlemania
01:03:12here is your winner of the 2026 men's royal rumble the otc roman reigns
01:03:23gunther is runner up again the otc wins his second royal rumble
01:03:34and now finds himself in the main event at wrestlemania against the champion of his choosing
01:03:53oh what an epic is the closing moments that was the mistake by logan paul he went big he stumbled you
01:04:14can't do that around the otc why because this immediately follows but then it was a mistake from
01:04:20roman turns his back on the viper the viper struck putting him down but gunther was there to mop up
01:04:28and turf out the apex predator yeah and then it was roman reigns breaking up the sweeper driving gunther
01:04:34into the turnbuckle and then reigns with his patented spear would hand him another royal rumble victory
01:04:41pretty incredible scene here in riad wave you know it's two o'clock in the morning in riad saudi arabia
01:04:47and not one person is sitting down not one person has left this stadium as they celebrate the win
01:04:54of roman reigns what a massive adrenaline spike this night has been for about four straight hours peaking
01:05:03at this very moment that's why we're all bright eyed and pushing tailed at 2 a.m
01:05:08one's to the sky
01:05:21so

01:05:59You're headed to WrestleMania.
01:06:01Which champion will he choose?

01:07:12It's laid on the floor again.
