00:00:00Smackdown, Carmelo Hayes entering his second Royal Global. Had a good one last year, last 17 minutes.
00:00:07Well, Carmelo Hayes has not been on a great run lately, but every single time he's been shooting from the
00:00:13logo,
00:00:13he takes the biggest shots of anyone on Smackdown, and that continues here.
00:00:19Wasting no time.
00:00:22You got some thoroughbreds in the ring right now, Wade.
00:00:25Yeah, these are all cardio machines. Once again, it's horrible to draw an early number.
00:00:29But nobody gets cockier than Carmelo Hayes, who will take the fight to anyone.
00:00:34Rey Mysterio now sends Melo to the corner.
00:00:36Oh, they're just trying to big-time Rey Mysterio.
00:00:39Oh, and a clubbing blow right to the back of the neck by Hayes.
00:00:42Carmelo Hayes is so good!
00:00:45Reverse DDT. Movement governed by a different set of rules for the rest of the locker room.
00:00:51Melo and Chad saying, let's team up, get rid of these two.
00:00:56Benz and Rey teamed up. Now they're experiencing the other side of that.
00:01:00Chad Gable's gonna take all the help he can get against Luchador.
00:01:03Oh! Melo don't miss.
00:01:05Springboard clothesline, but it was suplexed by Gable.
00:01:08And an alliance is full.
00:01:11Great work by these two.
00:01:13Mysterio, though, using his quickness.
00:01:14What runs into the double shoulder tackle?
00:01:16And double elbow drops.
00:01:18These two have a combined fan base of zero.
00:01:22But they're working great together.
00:01:27Oh, well.
00:01:28No, no, no.
00:01:29It's always temporary.
00:01:30And the Royal Rumble stakes are too high.
00:01:33Gable now.
00:01:34Melo off the second rope.
00:01:36Caught by Chad.
00:01:37From in his strength by Gable.
00:01:38Into a German suplex.
00:01:39That is wild.
00:01:40What incredible timing and power
00:01:43to catch a flying Melo in mid-air.
00:01:46He's looking at a peacock around.
00:01:48Number five will enter the Rumble now.
00:01:51Oh, he's American made.
00:01:53Two, one, two, one.
00:02:00We'll talk about thoroughbreds.
00:02:04Things just got a lot worse for Chad Gable
00:02:08as another Luchador enters the fray.
00:02:11Santos Escobar from Legado del Mentasma
00:02:14enters his third Royal Rumble match in his career.
00:02:19The Emperor of Lucha Libre himself is here.
00:02:23Oh, Tornado DDT.
00:02:25Chad Gable takes the one from the Luchador.
00:02:29No teaming with Rey Mysterio,
00:02:32says Santos Escobar.
00:02:34He's trying to get a quick elimination.
00:02:36Rey to the second rope.
00:02:37And Escobar now may be pulling one out of Rey's playbook.
00:02:40Time to run the bingo.
00:02:43Santos looking for a 6-1-9.
00:02:46Connecting to Mysterio.
00:02:47That's Rey's move.
00:02:48And Santos pretty happy with himself.
00:02:50Well, that was executed to perfection.
00:02:52That was...
00:02:53Uh-oh.
00:02:53Uh-oh.
00:03:02And Escobar runs right into Penta.
00:03:05Santos...
00:03:06Oh, my goodness!
00:03:08Next...
00:03:09Escobar hit the Mexican Destroyer.
00:03:12He's beating everyone at their own game.
00:03:15Yeah, but he's gonna get...
00:03:18Rey's...
00:03:18A little retribution there on the 6-1-9 of his own.
00:03:21There you go, Santos.
00:03:23Here's how it's done.
00:03:24Oh, God!
00:03:24Escobar trying to hang on.
00:03:26Mysterio started on the top rope by Mello.
00:03:27Rey's in trouble.
00:03:29Mello over the top as well.
00:03:30Mello trying to hang on.
00:03:32Penta hanging on to the other side.
00:03:34Who does Chad pick for trying to eliminate?
00:03:37It was spoiled for choice,
00:03:39and in the end, he's been left with nada.
00:03:42See?
00:03:53It's getting physical.
00:03:55Jeez!
00:03:57Shots going off left, right, and center.
00:04:00Four, five bodies crashing to the match
00:04:02as number six is about to enter this match.
00:04:05Four, three, two, one!
00:04:12Oh, things just went from bad to worse
00:04:17for Chad Gable.
00:04:19Here comes his...
00:04:20Here comes his former number one pupil.
00:04:25Otis is on his way to the ring.
00:04:27Well, the first five entrants were all cardio machines.
00:04:31Less of that can be said about Otis,
00:04:34but it's going to be a scene of devastation
00:04:37at least for the first two minutes here.
00:04:395, 10, 3, 30.
00:04:41Might be impossible to eliminate for LaRoy Alombo.
00:04:45It's interesting because Otis actually eliminated
00:04:47Rey Mysterio back in 2022.
00:04:52There's a single all-power ball now from the big man.
00:04:56I enjoyed the next scene to the ceiling.
00:04:59And Chad Gable looking for the ankle lock.
00:05:02He didn't want to see Otis' word.
00:05:04The former mentor of the Alpha Academy.
00:05:07Well, Chad Gable to Otis everything.
00:05:09He knows, Chad's.
00:05:10Oh, God.
00:05:12Oh, did you hear that?
00:05:15Holy hell!
00:05:16He might have broke his jaw.
00:05:17A frying pan across Chad Gable's jaw!
00:05:27And now Otis and Chad going out for one another.
00:05:30And in a bunch of,
00:05:31you've got to back the bigger man
00:05:32for the smart techniques of Chad Gable's jaw!
00:05:34Oh, my goodness!
00:05:37Ow!
00:05:38German suplex from Gable!
00:05:41And Otis is back at his feet!
00:05:46A 4.0 GPA of Chad Gable did not help him there.
00:05:51Torture rack from Otis!
00:05:53Armello saves Gable, and now the double team.
00:05:55And now the alliance is temporarily back up.
00:05:59Dolmelo, Hayes, and Chad Gable taking number one.
00:06:02Oh, my goodness.
00:06:03I don't know how Chad Gable wasn't knocked out,
00:06:05and then to bounce back with this
00:06:07deadlift German suplex
00:06:09against someone with the girth of Otis.
00:06:13A lot of girths.
00:06:15Impressive girth.
00:06:165, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:06:165, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:06:23Number seven.
00:06:28The dogs are barking in Indianapolis!
00:06:37The dogs are barking in Indianapolis!
00:06:44The intercontinental champion!
00:06:52250 pounds of Jellic Knights
00:06:54has just arrived in the Royal Rumble.
00:06:57We know Daddy's here to dog face Bradley.
00:07:00Rick Steiner, the Hall of Famer.
00:07:05Explosive, sudden impact
00:07:06by Breaker.
00:07:08Thanks for coming, Melo!
00:07:10See you, Melo!
00:07:11The history between those two in NXT.
00:07:14Oh, God.
00:07:15A break inside out!
00:07:16To Chad Gable!
00:07:18Road Breaker's brought us out of our seats!
00:07:24The power to Otis!
00:07:28Dog dropping!
00:07:30Look at how he started this match!
00:07:32Bang!
00:07:33A spear by Breaker!
00:07:35Oh, now he's rolling!
00:07:37Runs the rubs at 23 miles an hour
00:07:40with a right hand of Mysterio!
00:07:42Run past the school of that speed
00:07:44and you're getting arrested
00:07:46but it's all legal at the Royal Rumble!
00:07:50And a spear to Azkivar!
00:07:54Breaker in his second Rumble
00:07:56making a name for himself.
00:07:58Ron Breaker is just a wrecking machine
00:08:00with unwavering belief
00:08:02in his own potential.
00:08:04There's no Azkivar.
00:08:05Breaker eliminated four men last year,
00:08:07two so far this year.
00:08:09Man on a mission, Ron Breaker.
00:08:11Got a mindset of being
00:08:13completely indestructible
00:08:15but you know Big Otis
00:08:16is going to give it a shot.
00:08:17So this is number eight.
00:08:19Four, three, two, one!
00:08:27Oh, this has got some backup
00:08:29because here comes Akira Tozawa.
00:08:33We're about to feel...
00:08:35Oh!
00:08:36Oh, there goes Akira Tozawa.
00:08:39I was going to say
00:08:39we're about to feel the power
00:08:41but it was in fact Tozawa
00:08:42who felt the power
00:08:43of an irate Carmelo Hayes.
00:08:46Adam Pearce wondering
00:08:47if they can get some control out here.
00:08:49The Raw Gentleman
00:08:50checking out Tozawa.
00:08:53Carmelo Hayes has got form
00:08:54for that kind of attack.
00:08:55Attack on Jimmy Uso
00:08:57a couple of weeks ago
00:08:58on SmackDown
00:08:59in the exact same way.
00:09:00Well, Tozawa will not
00:09:01officially enter this match.
00:09:04Tozawa dragged in the back.
00:09:06He's making it to the Rumble.
00:09:09Heartbreaker for the Alpha Academy.
00:09:13I don't think he can go, man.
00:09:15He's not on his feet.
00:09:16Come on, buddy.
00:09:16He's out of it.
00:09:17We're here to help you, right?
00:09:20He's not coming.
00:09:20He's not coming.
00:09:21He's not coming.
00:09:22Somebody's got to replace him.
00:09:25Somebody's got to replace him.
00:09:28Speed!
00:09:29What?
00:09:29Speed!
00:09:30What?
00:09:31You're in the Rumble.
00:09:31Go!
00:09:32What's that mean?
00:09:35I'm not coming.
00:09:36I'm not coming.
00:09:36I'm coming.
00:09:37I'm coming.
00:09:38I'm coming.
00:09:38I'm ready.
00:09:39Go, go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:09:40What's it doing?
00:09:40Go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:09:42What's it doing?
00:09:50I shot Speed!
00:09:52He's in the Rumble!
00:09:54Somebody's got the man.
00:09:56Some knee pats.
00:09:57Some elbow pats.
00:09:59A trash helmet.
00:10:00Hey, he appeared in a...
00:10:03Wrestlemania trusted him.
00:10:04In a prime bottle.
00:10:06Remember that?
00:10:07He's a man.
00:10:08He's built for the moment.
00:10:09Had no idea he was going to be in the Rumble.
00:10:12Now he's sprinting his way to the ring.
00:10:14And look at how he got in the ring.
00:10:15That was pretty nice.
00:10:16And, uh, going right...
00:10:18And look at trying to eliminate Chad and Ray.
00:10:20And now try to help Breaker eliminate Otis,
00:10:22which he does.
00:10:23So, wait a minute.
00:10:24I show Speed actually has an elimination in the room.
00:10:28The dog's barking in the ring.
00:10:35Come on!
00:10:36Come on!
00:10:37Hell yeah!
00:10:39That's no Speed!
00:10:41That's impressive.
00:10:42Standard backflip!
00:10:44Oh my god!
00:10:45Breaker just about broke ISO Speed in half!
00:10:51One dog just killed another!
00:10:53He just sawed Speed in half!
00:10:57That's dog aside!
00:11:00That's dog aside!
00:11:01Meanwhile, Breaker with Speed!
00:11:04And Otis!
00:11:06Speed's still in the match!
00:11:07He has a middle ball!
00:11:08Now, uh, he's eliminated now.
00:11:13Sir, are you okay?
00:11:14No, he's not okay!
00:11:16Are you okay, sir?
00:11:17He just got speared in half!
00:11:20Are you insane, Michael?
00:11:21How could I possibly be okay?
00:11:24Then he got tossed like it was Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck!
00:11:32This is a rather unhappy Otis, of course.
00:11:35His partner, Tozawa, was the person that I show Speed replaced.
00:11:40Careful what you wish for in this world!
00:11:42He just, uh, Speed just said to Chad Patton, where am I?
00:11:46He has no clue where he is.
00:11:48Yeah, the Royal Rumble, Speed!
00:11:49We appreciate you stepping up for us, but...
00:11:52Uh, by the way, he actually entered the Rumble with Crocs.
00:11:58He has Crocs on!
00:12:00Hey, guess what, Pat?
00:12:02Guess what time it is?
00:12:04Guess what time it is?
00:12:06It's...
00:12:085...
00:12:109...
00:12:10This Royal Rumble's getting a banger a lot!
00:12:16Baby!
00:12:18In his 11th Rumble appearance.
00:12:21Last year, he entered number two and lasted 52 minutes.
00:12:25He won this damn thing in 2012!
00:12:27Yeah!
00:12:29And he's thinking about 10 beats in a banger!
00:12:41Well, Seamus really wants that Intercontinental Championship!
00:12:46Well, he had a chance on Raw, I didn't do it.
00:12:49I can still have a chance.
00:12:50Seamus making him pay.
00:12:54He's not gonna win the Intercontinental Championship tonight,
00:12:57but he can book his ticket for WrestleMania!
00:12:59And Pantor!
00:13:01And Seamus hangs on.
00:13:02Seamus was once eliminated in two seconds.
00:13:05Oh!
00:13:06Slingshot Spear!
00:13:08Seamus!
00:13:09Seamus pulling out those lucha moves of his own!
00:13:14Seamus with that Irish cursed backbreaker!
00:13:17There's just a permanent ferocity to Seamus!
00:13:20And Breaker with a great throw!
00:13:25Two absolute alpha balls about to collide!
00:13:29Oh!
00:13:29Broke!
00:13:30Broke!
00:13:31Well, I think that caught the shoulder of Breaker more than anything,
00:13:34but it did enough damage!
00:13:37To the speed of Breaker trying to pull himself on the way!
00:13:39How you doing, fella?
00:13:40He's doing great!
00:13:42And now Chad Gable wants to fight!
00:13:47And I don't think that was smart.
00:13:49It was...
00:13:50We await number 10 now.
00:13:52Don't throw hands with Seamus!
00:13:55Try something else!
00:13:59We're a third of the way through!
00:14:05Jimmy Uso!
00:14:08Entering the Rumble match for a third time in his career!
00:14:11A lot of people have been taking cheap shots at Big Jim,
00:14:15saying he's in the shadow of his twin brother, Jay,
00:14:18who has gone on to major single stardom over the past 12 months.
00:14:22Well, Big Jim can play catch-up and more
00:14:25if he books himself a ticket to WrestleMania.
00:14:27Big Jim from the top of the crossbody.
00:14:29Now, last year, Jimmy Uso lasted...
00:14:3433 minutes.
00:14:35He was eliminated by...
00:14:37Pawn Breaker!
00:14:39Still in this match.
00:14:41Hell of a match here with Carl Malo.
00:14:43Hazel, SmackDown last night ended up victorious.
00:14:47Recovered well.
00:14:48Oh, look at that!
00:14:49Uso in the win!
00:14:51Corkscrew moonsault by Jimmy.
00:14:54Big Jim taking over the Rumble.
00:14:59Now, a big kick to Sheamus.
00:15:01Oh!
00:15:02Oh!
00:15:05Jimmy now, shades of his dad, Rikishi.
00:15:09Into the other side.
00:15:11Well, I don't think too many people are badging Jimmy Uso to pull this thing off,
00:15:16but how exciting would it be
00:15:17for an unexpected victor like Jimmy Uso to ascend to the main event.
00:15:23Big Jim with a dump truck on Penta.
00:15:25Oh!
00:15:28Sheamus is about as meat and potatoes of a fighter as you can imagine.
00:15:33There's never anything flashy.
00:15:35It's just always painful.
00:15:37Jimmy over the top.
00:15:38Sheamus.
00:15:39Look at him eliminate his real weight number 11 ahead of this match.
00:15:423, 2, 1...
00:15:44Big Jim holding on to dear life.
00:15:45He's got to go and make a dream, evaporate in a heartbeat.
00:15:55This man returned to WWE in the Rumble match last year.
00:16:05It's his fourth Rumble.
00:16:08Andrade entered at number 11.
00:16:13Johnson's momentum scored a big win
00:16:16against the A-list of The Miz last night on SmackDown.
00:16:20Now looking to parlay that momentum into something even bigger.
00:16:25Fantastic start to Royal Rumble weekend with that win over The Miz.
00:16:29He's walking into a very dangerous ring right now.
00:16:33I'm sorry, jogging into.
00:16:35Yeah, and I would never jog.
00:16:37Take as much time as you can, preserve your energy,
00:16:39and spend as little time in that ring as possible.
00:16:42He wanted to get to it.
00:16:44I get the enthusiasm.
00:16:45I just think it's a bad strategy.
00:16:47Certainly delay if you want,
00:16:49or you could come in at a thousand thousand hours an hour.
00:16:52And I personally was always a delay kind of guy, Pop.
00:16:55I understand I would be as well,
00:16:57but Rodney says,
00:16:58let me at him.
00:17:08And look at that.
00:17:09Rodney now.
00:17:10Meteora.
00:17:11Into the corner to Gable.
00:17:13Oh, maybe Sheamus could get one too.
00:17:16A couple of shims in the jaw.
00:17:19And up to the other side to Sheamus.
00:17:21What a size to that frame.
00:17:23Sheamus not ideal when you get an early number in the Royal Rumble.
00:17:27And trying to eliminate Andrade is Penta,
00:17:29who started this thing at number two.
00:17:33Rey Mysterio still in.
00:17:34He started at number one.
00:17:37Nate Jim and Bron Breaker fighting on the other side.
00:17:40Bron Breaker hanging on to the top buckle.
00:17:43Rey Mysterio getting involved,
00:17:44trying to eliminate Bron Breaker,
00:17:46our Intercontinental Champion.
00:17:47Sheamus as well,
00:17:48trying to eliminate Breaker.
00:17:50Three men trying to eliminate Bron.
00:17:52Chad Gable turns his attention to Rey.
00:17:55Andrade with a kick now to Penta.
00:17:57Everybody trying to beat everybody down.
00:18:03Andrade and Penta up on the ropes.
00:18:05Number 12 about.
00:18:07Oh!
00:18:07To enter the Rumble.
00:18:08Three, two, one!
00:18:13Just, you, come!
00:18:16Holy hell!
00:18:21The man I call the dark horse
00:18:23on the countdown show.
00:18:25The Samoan Werewolf.
00:18:28The wild, maniacal Jacob Fatou enters his first Rumble.
00:18:35We got a lawless, feral thug head into the ring.
00:18:40A deranged mind bent on extreme levels of violence,
00:18:46slacking anything close to resembling humanity.
00:18:50Good luck to the rest of the field.
00:18:51Yeah, look at what he did last night.
00:18:53Unstoppable.
00:18:54Oh, Fatou with that pop-up Samoan drop.
00:18:57Undeniable.
00:18:57Look what he did one week ago at Saturday night's main event.
00:19:00Oh!
00:19:01To Braun Strowman.
00:19:04Look at him.
00:19:06He's unhinged.
00:19:08What are you doing, Penta?
00:19:10He's unbelievable.
00:19:14Well, you know, he has no fear,
00:19:16but he might not have it with that right hand by Fatou.
00:19:18And Rey Mysterio,
00:19:19sometimes a little fear is a good thing, you would see.
00:19:22Off the second rope, caught by Fatou.
00:19:24Jacob now,
00:19:26kicks to Penta,
00:19:27and now,
00:19:27two men on his shoulders!
00:19:29Double Samoa drop!
00:19:32Are you kidding me?
00:19:33Don't loop it like Fatou!
00:19:36I wasn't so terrified of that guy,
00:19:39he'd be my favorite.
00:19:40And goodbye, Chad.
00:19:41Game eliminated by Jacob Fatou.
00:19:44A Mysterio eliminated by Jacob Fatou.
00:19:48Andrade trying to eliminate Jacob.
00:19:50Andrade gave it his best shot.
00:19:52You've got to blindside Jacob Fatou
00:19:54and hope for the best,
00:19:55but it has backfired on Andrade.
00:19:57And Andrade now,
00:19:58the third elimination
00:19:59by the Samoan Werewolf in this match.
00:20:02Jacob Fatou can do anything he wants
00:20:05to any whom he wants,
00:20:07any time he wants.
00:20:08Except for this.
00:20:12There's a werewolf
00:20:13and a big old dog in a ring.
00:20:15Who's gonna win this fight?
00:20:18And Jimmy Uso with a kick,
00:20:20Sheamus can win as well.
00:20:21Number 13 now enters.
00:20:23To be continued,
00:20:24I want to see more of that.
00:20:26Well, a guy that can't stand Breaker or Sheamus,
00:20:29Ludwig Kaiser,
00:20:30who had a breakout year in 2024.
00:20:33Kaiser,
00:20:33can you imagine if he wins the Rumble
00:20:35and he picks Gunther
00:20:37to face the world title of WrestleMania?
00:20:39Don't you start stirring the pot?
00:20:40That would never happen.
00:20:42The bonds
00:20:42in the Imperium boys
00:20:43are simply too tight,
00:20:45but it's about time
00:20:46we got ourselves
00:20:47some European elegance.
00:20:49Kaiser in no hurry.
00:20:51Kaiser in no hurry.
00:20:52What an intelligent human being.
00:20:54We were just talking about this.
00:20:56He's not just a good-looking man
00:20:58with an incredible skill set.
00:21:00He's razor sharp mentally too.
00:21:02Defenses ladies as well.
00:21:04And you know what?
00:21:04If I was running to the ring
00:21:05and I saw Jacob Fatou,
00:21:07I'd slowly hit the brakes too.
00:21:08Yeah, and again,
00:21:09you could sit out there all night, right?
00:21:11Go in at the end if you wanted.
00:21:12Yeah, but at some point,
00:21:13you're going to have to face the music.
00:21:14He's springing down just to wait.
00:21:16Hurry up and wait,
00:21:17Ludwig Kaiser,
00:21:18while Fatou and Sheamus
00:21:19beat down Big Jim.
00:21:21Yeah, I wouldn't want to get in there
00:21:22with Breaker,
00:21:22Fatou,
00:21:23Sheamus,
00:21:24Penta,
00:21:25and Jimmy Uso.
00:21:27Seven eliminations,
00:21:29six are in the ring.
00:21:30Number 14 will be coming up next.
00:21:33Sheamus trying to steal one there
00:21:34with Penta.
00:21:35And Kaiser finally in,
00:21:36and Kaiser tries to pick a spot.
00:21:37Looking to eliminate Penta here.
00:21:39And Kaiser,
00:21:39thanks for coming.
00:21:40That may be a record.
00:21:42We got to check that.
00:21:43That may be a record.
00:21:45Kaiser may,
00:21:47may have to set a record there.
00:21:50Shortest in-ring time ever, maybe.
00:21:55That's the universe telling you.
00:21:56We're being told,
00:21:57we're being told Santino
00:21:58still holds the record.
00:22:00So I guess Kaiser is at least two seconds.
00:22:02Get out of here right now.
00:22:05That's the universe.
00:22:06You can't act like that.
00:22:07You gotta go right.
00:22:08And again,
00:22:09Kaiser had some nasty words
00:22:10for Penta last week.
00:22:12Now Penta,
00:22:13we're going to eliminate Breaker.
00:22:15Sheamus trying to help as well.
00:22:16Breaker trying to hang on.
00:22:17Breaker now to the apron.
00:22:19Breaker dangling above the floor.
00:22:22Great athleticism
00:22:23to pull himself back in.
00:22:24Number 14
00:22:25on his way.
00:22:32Awesome!
00:22:38Maybe it's this man's night.
00:22:46The Miz
00:22:48makes his 16th
00:22:50Royal Rumble appearance.
00:22:53He is now tied for second
00:22:55all-time.
00:22:56Miz got that look in his eye,
00:22:58doesn't he?
00:22:58Well, he's a man who's been there
00:23:00and done it in the main event
00:23:01of WrestleMania.
00:23:02I'm not sure he should be
00:23:03barking at Breaker.
00:23:05Out-Foxing the youngster.
00:23:07Oh!
00:23:07Oh, wait, Breaker.
00:23:08Almost eliminated by Miz
00:23:09who almost out-Foxed
00:23:10Braun Breaker.
00:23:13Miz, in 2012,
00:23:15lasted over...
00:23:21Skull-crushing finale.
00:23:24Miz never gets the respect
00:23:26he deserves,
00:23:26but this man is a
00:23:28two-time
00:23:28Grand Slam champ.
00:23:3045 minutes
00:23:31in 2012
00:23:32for the Miz.
00:23:34And Penta now
00:23:35sends Miz flying off the...
00:23:37Rana into the corner.
00:23:39Beautiful usage of momentum
00:23:40there for Penta.
00:23:42Miz now.
00:23:43What?
00:23:43Oh, and a hurricane run
00:23:44on by Miz!
00:23:46The ever-expanding playbook
00:23:49of the Miz.
00:23:50Oh, no.
00:23:52Oh, what a good idea, Miz!
00:23:54This is not awesome for you!
00:23:57Miz trying to escape Fatou.
00:23:58Jacob Fatou.
00:24:01Sends Miz out to the apron.
00:24:02Miz catches him with a kick.
00:24:04Rocks Jacob Fatou temporarily.
00:24:07But it's...
00:24:07What a Samoa drop!
00:24:09That is insane!
00:24:11It's only ever temporary.
00:24:13when it comes to damage
00:24:15to Jacob Fatou.
00:24:18The Miz
00:24:19was caught in mid-air
00:24:21in a Samoan drop.
00:24:23And I've never seen anybody
00:24:24shrug off offense
00:24:26as quickly
00:24:27as Jacob Fatou
00:24:29has consistently done
00:24:31since arriving in WWE.
00:24:33The man ain't built right.
00:24:37What a force, Fatou.
00:24:39Say his name now.
00:24:41I'm here in the past.
00:24:43I'm the man
00:24:44in Joe and Greg.
00:24:47I'm the man
00:24:48in Joe and Greg.
00:24:50And love
00:24:51and love
00:24:52and Paris
00:24:53and Tokyo
00:24:54and America
00:24:55and Scotland
00:24:55and Canada
00:24:56and Mexico.
00:24:58It's the...
00:24:59The TNA champion is here.
00:25:03Joe Henry
00:25:05in his first
00:25:07Royal Rumble match.
00:25:10Somebody somewhere
00:25:11must have said his name
00:25:13because he has appeared
00:25:15the most viral superstar
00:25:18of the past 12 months.
00:25:20The Jamin
00:25:21overnight success
00:25:23and it only took him
00:25:2415 years to do so.
00:25:26Watching his rise
00:25:27on social.
00:25:29I believe in
00:25:30Joe Henry too.
00:25:32Joe Henry now
00:25:33with a fallaway slam.
00:25:35He beat Nick Nemeth
00:25:36for the championship
00:25:37back in January.
00:25:38And listen to this place.
00:25:42From Edinburgh, Scotland.
00:25:45We've seen him in NXT
00:25:46but never on this stage
00:25:49in front of over 70,000.
00:25:57And now Henry
00:25:58with Miz up
00:26:00parading around the ring
00:26:02with Miz in a sleigh.
00:26:03We will rock you
00:26:05Joe Henry.
00:26:06Hey, thanks for coming Joe.
00:26:07Jacob Fatu
00:26:09reminding Mr. Henry
00:26:11this is a different world here.
00:26:13It's not just about belief
00:26:14over here.
00:26:15It's about reality
00:26:15says Fatu.
00:26:16I was enjoying that.
00:26:20Jameis said he was enjoying that
00:26:22from Joe Henry.
00:26:24You like the stomping.
00:26:25You like the stomping.
00:26:26I'm so angry.
00:26:28If there's anybody
00:26:28that would want to fight
00:26:29Fatu would be Jameis.
00:26:31As we await
00:26:32number 16.
00:26:34Jameis just loves
00:26:36being in the trenches.
00:26:38And if this kicks off
00:26:39that's exactly where
00:26:40he's headed with Jacob Fatu.
00:26:53Way to go!
00:26:54with your tribal chief!
00:26:56Thank you!
00:28:27There goes Zia.
00:28:29Goodbye, Miz.
00:28:30Sheamus with a broke kick.
00:28:31Speared out of Sheamus.
00:28:35Sheamus eliminated by Roman.
00:28:38See ya.
00:28:39Yeah, good luck, Joe.
00:28:43Roman now has 34 career Royal Rumble eliminations.
00:28:47Spear to Henry.
00:28:49Well, what a story that would have been if Joe Hendry had pulled it off.
00:28:53And Joe Hendry eliminated by Reigns.
00:28:55That's three tonight.
00:28:56I believe Joe Hendry has a story forever.
00:28:59Oh, yeah.
00:29:00Oh, yeah.
00:29:08Breaker, Roman.
00:29:10Spear!
00:29:11Oh, spear!
00:29:12Spear by Breaker!
00:29:14Breaker about split Roman in half.
00:29:18Nobody saw that coming.
00:29:20Even the wise man, Paul Heyman, who sees everything coming.
00:29:24And Breaker looking to eliminate Reigns.
00:29:26Roman eliminated Breaker somehow.
00:29:29Bronga, too caught up in the moment.
00:29:32And Roman Reigns used that massive brain and took advantage of the momentum.
00:29:36Yeah, that's the veteran instinct of Roman Reigns.
00:29:38I don't even know how Roman can breathe.
00:29:40And look at what's setting up here, guys.
00:29:43Jimmy Uso and Roman Reigns.
00:29:46Part of the family.
00:29:47Part of the bloodline.
00:29:48The reuniting of these two men.
00:29:50And now they're together in the rumble, which is supposed to be every man for himself.
00:29:54What up, cuz?
00:29:56We got a...
00:29:56Oh, Batu!
00:29:57Who's also a member of the family.
00:29:59He don't give a damn.
00:30:01Jimmy Uso eliminated.
00:30:02And now it's down to Jacob and Roman.
00:30:05Bat down the hatches.
00:30:08Reinforced the ring.
00:30:26You are looking at a future Wrestlemania main event.
00:30:33What?
00:30:40Fatu with the first strike.
00:30:42Roman as well.
00:30:45The only tribal chief.
00:30:47Jacob Fatu, who joined with Solo Sokoa.
00:30:50Creating such a lift within Roman Reigns' bloodline.
00:30:53And now Roman firing all cylinders against Fatu.
00:30:57We're about to find out just how good Jacob Fatu really is.
00:31:02Against a man in Roman Reigns against seemingly walk on water in this industry.
00:31:08Yeah, GOAT conversations is what Roman Reigns are in.
00:31:14Roman now sent across the ring by Jacob.
00:31:16Oh, and a high spear by Reigns.
00:31:19A high spear by Roman as we have played the 17th entry.
00:31:235, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:31:38Drew McIntyre's downward spiral began at Clash of the Castle a couple of years ago when Roman Reigns defeated him
00:31:46thanks to Solo Sokoa.
00:31:48It has been over two years that McIntyre's hatred for Reigns and his family has driven through off the deep
00:31:57end.
00:31:57And now tonight, an opportunity to go face to face with his arch nemesis, Roman Reigns.
00:32:03The face of Roman Reigns just dropped because 270 pounds of snarling Scottish anger is heading his way.
00:32:12The man who won the 2020 Royal Rumble staring at the man who won the 2015 Royal Rumble.
00:32:19McIntyre in Reigns.
00:32:21With your family, wait for this to a moment.
00:32:26It began with you.
00:32:28It's going to end with you.
00:32:34McIntyre on the right.
00:32:35You heard Drew say it began with you.
00:32:37It's going to end with you.
00:32:38And the pints of Buckfast are getting thrown in the air all over Scotland right now.
00:32:45And if McIntyre can pull this off against the Greg Dorma Blank.
00:32:49Fatou now.
00:32:50He's just feral.
00:32:52He's a wild animal.
00:32:53Attacking Reigns.
00:32:54McIntyre back to Penta.
00:32:57McIntyre just got the assistance of Fatou.
00:33:00Well, Fatou's not going to back down and neither is Drew.
00:33:02This is very interesting here.
00:33:04And now they're going to double team Roman.
00:33:06Two men with a mutual hatred of the tribal chief.
00:33:11Roman Reigns.
00:33:14The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
00:33:16I told you.
00:33:17I told you every week that I'm coming for you.
00:33:19Wise man Paul Haven out here.
00:33:23That's Braun Strowman.
00:33:25How that feels.
00:33:27In the sense McIntyre's not even focused on victory right now.
00:33:30He just wants Roman Reigns.
00:33:32Number 18.
00:33:47Ben Balor enters the Rumble for the fourth time in his career.
00:33:53He once spent over 57 minutes in this match.
00:33:5818th at a bad number of ways.
00:34:00Grand slam Finn.
00:34:02A man with otherworldly athleticism.
00:34:06Yahoo!
00:34:07And a guy with a lot of history with Roman Reigns as well.
00:34:11Yahoo!
00:34:12And Roman Reigns is going to have a target on him with everybody.
00:34:14Yeah, Roman didn't make many friends.
00:34:16Here it is.
00:34:17It's a historic championship Ray Penta now.
00:34:20Finn trying to eliminate Penta.
00:34:21He started this match at number two.
00:34:22He's still in there.
00:34:23Rey was number one, but Rey was eliminated a bit ago.
00:34:27With Balor.
00:34:27Oh, what a slim play.
00:34:28Used to having some assistance from his Judgment Day buddies.
00:34:31Might have to go it alone here, though.
00:34:34Penta's still in it.
00:34:36Back in tire now with Balor.
00:34:38Finn takes out through.
00:34:40Ireland versus Scotland.
00:34:42No love between the counts in this one, but back from the dead after getting stomped is Roman Reigns.
00:34:49And now Fatu has turned his anger towards Drew McIntyre.
00:34:52Fatu doesn't give a damn about anybody.
00:34:54Roman doesn't either.
00:34:57Roman goes back to fighting with Jacob Fatu.
00:34:59Now back to Balor in the corner.
00:35:03Kicking Drew as well.
00:35:04Everybody can get something from your travel chief.
00:35:06Penta's had an amazing performance thus far as we await entry number 19.
00:35:13Penta and Roman working together.
00:35:16That wouldn't have been a bingo card for this year.
00:35:18That's awesome, too.
00:35:20And again on the other side.
00:35:23As the current United States Champion from Friday Night SmackDown.
00:35:28The man who won this matchup back in 2018 when he lasted nearly 45 minutes.
00:35:34Shinsuke Nakamura.
00:35:36On his way to the ring.
00:35:37The shinobi assassin himself.
00:35:42Penta.
00:35:44Twisted.
00:35:45Poison-minded.
00:35:47And filled with ill intent.
00:35:49He's going to love how physical this Royal Rumble has been.
00:35:52Yeah, Finn's sent over the top rope.
00:35:54It's still on the apron.
00:35:55Penta is hanging in there.
00:35:56He's having a historic run tonight.
00:35:59For his first Rumble ever.
00:36:01Shinsuke Nakamura now.
00:36:02Turns his attention to Roman Reigns.
00:36:04Knee right to the ribcage of Roman.
00:36:05Well, how do you go one better than the United States Championship?
00:36:09You book yourself a ticket to the main event of WrestleMania.
00:36:12He knows what that's about.
00:36:14Dangerous.
00:36:14Oh, he just woke up.
00:36:15Penta, it looks like.
00:36:16Martial arts expert Nakamura face-to-face with Penta.
00:36:20The two know each other well.
00:36:23International stars.
00:36:26Shinsuke Nakamura, highly skilled.
00:36:30Jitsu exponent, former MMA competitor.
00:36:33Before he transitioned to the world of sports entertainment using those strikes.
00:36:37And notice how the pace of this match, Wade, has really slowed down.
00:36:40Since the luchadors, for the most part, except for Penta, have been taken out.
00:36:45We've got some true heavyweights in there right now.
00:36:49And naturally, the pace has to slow because the strikes are just that much heavier.
00:36:56And Penta going to use Balor.
00:36:58Oh, and a Mexican destroyer to Jacob Fatou.
00:37:04Oh, the Finn's back.
00:37:06Well, for anyone else, that's game over with Jacob Fatou.
00:37:08I don't know.
00:37:09Oh, he went for that one.
00:37:10And now Penta eliminated by Balor.
00:37:13What a great opportunity by Penta here tonight.
00:37:17Made the most of it.
00:37:19Penta with a hell of a night and a Mexican destroyer to Jacob Fatou off of Finn Balor's death.
00:37:28Yeah, Penta lasting over 40 minutes.
00:37:30What a debut performance, Wade, in the Rumble.
00:37:33Well, notably, despite that Mexican destroyer, Jacob Fatou, the Samoa werewolf,
00:37:38already back up and on the offense.
00:37:41We are now two thirds of the way through this match.
00:37:45Number 20.
00:37:53J. Serious tonight.
00:37:57Come on, Cole.
00:38:0070,000.
00:38:02Yeah, Wade.
00:38:08Yeah, Wade.
00:38:10Yeah, Wade.
00:38:11Here comes main event Jey Uso.
00:38:13Interesting here because he got Jacob in the ring.
00:38:16He got Roman in the ring.
00:38:17And Jey Uso now turns his attention to Finn Balor.
00:38:23Jey Uso.
00:38:26Jey having fun.
00:38:27And McIntyre.
00:38:30He has no love lost for him.
00:38:32Jey...
00:38:33Spear!
00:38:40Jey now, oh, takes down Jacob Fontu!
00:38:43How the hell is Fontu still standing?
00:38:45I don't know, but welcome to the Yeet Rumble!
00:38:50Yeah, the fourth Rumble for Jey Uso tonight.
00:38:54Went for the step up Enziguri,
00:38:56should be able to step out of harm's way.
00:38:58Well, Jey Uso came out here with such energy
00:39:02enhanced by this massive audience of yeeters.
00:39:05He's in danger of burning himself out way too quickly in this one.
00:39:09Gotta pace yourself.
00:39:11You gotta think about the adrenaline dump for sure,
00:39:12especially when you're yeeting all over the place.
00:39:17Shinsuke Nakamura on the top of it and eliminated by Jey Uso!
00:39:25Bitterness etched on the face of the Japanese superstar.
00:39:29But right now it's Jey Uso in command.
00:39:34Jey Uso on the scoreboard.
00:39:42Being right to Fontu, who's next?
00:39:45Number 21!
00:40:10The phenomenal AJ Styles is back.
00:40:16You can be next.
00:40:18Wait, I'll ever forget 2016.
00:40:22AJ Styles made his memorable debut in WWE in the Royal Rumble.
00:40:31He had a career rumble in 2022 when he eliminated seven superstars.
00:40:35And now Styles is back.
00:40:37Taking out McIntyre at the knees.
00:40:39No ring rust whatsoever.
00:40:41That flying forearm by Styles.
00:40:44AJ.
00:40:45Oh!
00:40:45Knee right to the back of the neck.
00:40:47The phenomenal one.
00:40:4925 years at the business end of this industry.
00:40:53At times grappling with career mortality.
00:40:57This is win now for AJ Styles.
00:41:00What an all-star match.
00:41:03Maybe the greatest field in Rumble history.
00:41:06AJ meet the werewolf.
00:41:09AJ's had a hell of a long career.
00:41:11He's never met anything quite like this monster before.
00:41:19Styles going right after Fatou, however.
00:41:22Jacob misses wildly.
00:41:24Got him!
00:41:24Pele kick.
00:41:26By Styles.
00:41:27Vintage AJ Styles.
00:41:29Styles now.
00:41:29Popped up.
00:41:30Oh!
00:41:30What a backdrop!
00:41:32Jacob Fatou just does not wear down.
00:41:35I told you.
00:41:36He was my dark horse in this whole thing, Wade.
00:41:38On fading, impervious.
00:41:39There's nothing dark about that horse, Michael Cole.
00:41:42He has armor on his entire body.
00:41:45Here comes 22.
00:41:475, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:41:53Oh!
00:41:57Oh, yeah, Cole!
00:42:00That's one big SOB coming into the Royal Rumble!
00:42:06And he's seeing Red Wade because of what Jacob Fudge did to him at Saturday Night's main event.
00:42:13He was seeing Red one week ago after he got his head caved in by the Samoan werewolf covered in
00:42:20blood.
00:42:21And I cannot believe this man is back on his feet, intent on vengeance, it would seem.
00:42:28He's the guy who won the greatest Royal Rumble back in 2018, where he eliminated 13 men, tying Brock Lesnar
00:42:34for the most ever in a Rumble match.
00:42:36He once eliminated seven men in a row in 2017, and now he wants some of Fatou.
00:42:43We've got a couple of big old meek planets about to collide in the Royal Rumble!
00:42:49And here we go, Strowman and Jacob Fatou!
00:42:52Man, this is turning into quite the rivalry here.
00:42:56Strowman now, what a crossbody!
00:42:58To taste the power of Jacob Fatou, the savagery of Jacob Fatou, and come back for more!
00:43:04Now, Jacob Fatou eliminated by Strowman!
00:43:07Oh, Strowman!
00:43:08Jesus!
00:43:10Oh my God!
00:43:10Oh my God!
00:43:13Someone got a castle brawl!
00:43:16Oh my God!
00:43:18Got him, Braun!
00:43:19What the hell?
00:43:20Jacob, what are you doing?
00:43:22It's going.
00:43:23It's not here.
00:43:24Anything is Jacob Fatou's!
00:43:27Pat, where are the damn cops in your city?
00:43:29I don't know if it's just the cops, National Guard, Army, maybe even the Marines!
00:43:36And now everybody teaming up on Strowman here.
00:43:40I've got to regain my composure here.
00:43:43He is a scary bastard.
00:43:45Yeah, he definitely is!
00:43:46I'll tell you right now, you want to win this thing, you have to team up against Braun Strowman.
00:43:51Number 23!
00:43:52Number 23!
00:44:47The greatest of all time is here!
00:44:51John Cena in the retirement tour has begun!
00:44:56Strowman eliminated!
00:44:59Can John Cena...
00:45:00Oh, Balor looking all the way, John John hanging on.
00:45:03John Cena looking to win a third Rumble.
00:45:05Only Stone Cold Steve Austin has won three.
00:45:07John Cena with Finn now on the apron.
00:45:10John Cena attitude adjustment!
00:45:12Goodbye, Finn!
00:45:13Can John Cena roll back the clock, or is this just a nostalgia...
00:45:19There!
00:45:23Well...
00:45:24Well...
00:45:24Oh, well, well, well.
00:45:26Well, well.
00:45:27Shades of SummerSlam a couple of years ago.
00:45:38Go top at the Rumble.
00:45:43And interrupted.
00:45:45This just keeps getting better!
00:45:49This is...
00:45:59Hall of Famer after Hall of Famer after Hall of Famer!
00:46:17J.M. Punk, who last year was in the Rumble for the first time in a decade.
00:46:21He was injured by Drew McIntyre.
00:46:25He was the final two with Cody Rhodes before being eliminated.
00:46:29He has never, ever main-evented Wrestlemania.
00:46:32He has an opportunity to do that if he wins the Rumble tonight.
00:46:36Well, CM Punk has more haters around the world than anyone, but they have all shut their mouths over the
00:46:44past 12 months, because CM Punk has proven that he not only has rolled back the years, but he is
00:46:51better than ever.
00:46:55Man, I have got goosebumps.
00:46:57How could you not?
00:46:58Cena, Reigns, Punk.
00:47:00Look, three men who have defied generations in the WWE.
00:47:07Doug Long picking a winner out of this group.
00:47:10What about the rivalry with Punk and Cena over a decade ago?
00:47:15One of the greatest we've ever seen here in WWE.
00:47:19The one driving force for CM Punk is to get himself that main event of Wrestlemania, and it is not
00:47:26gonna be easy.
00:47:32And now we await number 25.
00:47:42Burn it down!
00:47:46Holy!
00:47:59Oh, there are so many stories.
00:48:03The history with Punk and Rollins.
00:48:06How about what has transpired in Indianapolis with Reigns and Rollins?
00:48:11The Shield debuted here.
00:48:13The Shield broke up here.
00:48:15The Shield reunited here in this city, and it happens again tonight.
00:48:20Rollins, Punk, Cena, Reigns.
00:48:22This is insane.
00:48:24Everybody left in the match at this point is amazing.
00:48:29And they are all conceivable Wrestlemania main eventers, but only one of them can do it.
00:48:35Rollins won this match in 2019.
00:48:37He knows what it's all about.
00:48:39And remember, folks, the reason Cody Rhodes is champion today, and Roman Reigns isn't, is most likely because of Seth
00:48:48Rollins sacrificing himself for Rhodes at Wrestlemania.
00:48:53AJ Styles, let's not forget he's still in there.
00:48:57McIntyre's in there as well.
00:48:58So is Jey Uso.
00:49:00The top players in the planet are here in this match.
00:49:05No fillers, just winners.
00:49:08But only one of them can go on to victory.
00:49:14Man, this is...
00:49:15Special.
00:49:16Special.
00:49:17I don't even know if that's the right word.
00:49:20This is a once in a lifetime.
00:49:23Never to be duplicated.
00:49:26Jey Uso now.
00:49:28Right here in front of us.
00:49:31Ring of the Hall of Fame here.
00:49:33In Royal Rumble.
00:49:37This place is electric, Pat.
00:49:41It is thunderous.
00:49:42Number 26 is coming.
00:49:45Who's it gonna be?
00:49:47One, two, three, two, one.
00:50:01Talk about a buzz kill.
00:50:04All right.
00:50:08How incredible would it be?
00:50:11Don't even say it, Wade.
00:50:13Dorothy Dumb.
00:50:14Wait a minute.
00:50:15Wade, you're an idiot.
00:50:16You're an absolute idiot.
00:50:18What a story.
00:50:19It would be.
00:50:20Okay.
00:50:20Okay, Roman, Paz, AJ, Seth, Jay, Cena, come on.
00:50:27There's a chance.
00:50:28It's a small one, but there is a chance.
00:50:31And I, for one, would love nothing more than the Dirty Dumb to pull up the unimaginable.
00:50:37You have a better chance of Paul Heyman walking in the ring and winning this match.
00:50:42Dominic Mysterio thinks he's the biggest star in this ring whenever he gets in here.
00:50:47And it's that type of blind confidence has really led him.
00:50:50And there's Dirty Dumb with a frog splash to Cena.
00:50:54Throw him out, Dumb.
00:50:56Shot the world.
00:50:58And now, channeling, or mocking, more to say, Eddie Guerrero.
00:51:04The modern-day Latino heat.
00:51:06Yeah, not so fast, Dom.
00:51:09Yeah, that's not gonna work.
00:51:11Modern-day idiot.
00:51:12And there's now Roman.
00:51:14Simone dropped to Dominic.
00:51:16Good thing Dominic's got that, uh, skeleton gear on.
00:51:20He looks like one.
00:51:21Show some respect to the world's greatest luchador, Michael Cole.
00:51:25Penta lasted great in this match.
00:51:27Had a great 42 minutes.
00:51:29And Mysterio did fantastic.
00:51:32Dom, everybody's hoping, Dom's.
00:51:34Dom trying to shake Roman's hand.
00:51:39Oh, here comes 27.
00:51:424, 6, 2, 1.
00:51:58Sammy did not get involved in the Rhodes-Owens match tonight like we thought he might.
00:52:02So, Sammy Zayn needs to win this match to main event WrestleMania for a world championship.
00:52:08Sammy's talked a lot this week about the emotion of getting into this matchup in a great number of 27,
00:52:13Wade.
00:52:13Yeah, one of the luckiest numbers, historically speaking, in the Royal Rumble.
00:52:18But the odds have to be stacked against all competitors at this point.
00:52:22Because everyone left.
00:52:23The Luma Kicks are really damn good.
00:52:26There have been four winners from number 27 and number 28 in the Royal Rumble.
00:52:31So, Sammy drew a good number here tonight.
00:52:34You draw a good number, and then you look in the ring at the kind of talent that's in there,
00:52:39and you feel like you've still got the short straw.
00:52:41That's why the winner of this goes to main event WrestleMania.
00:52:45You've got to get through everybody.
00:52:47All the greats tonight.
00:52:50Things have really slowed down.
00:52:51Many of these men have been here for a long time.
00:52:54Well, nobody wants to make a mistake at this point.
00:52:56Everybody's keeping an eye on that WrestleMania sign.
00:53:00Realizing I'm pretty damn close at this point.
00:53:02Remember on Raw, Sammy Zayn had some words with CM Punk and Seth Rollins as well.
00:53:08Remember the accidental Huluba kick from Sammy to Seth Rollins a couple of weeks ago.
00:53:16Look at Dirty Dog.
00:53:17This is what you call the Bob Backlund strategy.
00:53:20Just hold on to that bottom rope and hope everyone else eliminates themselves.
00:53:25Backlund wasn't scared.
00:53:26He wasn't scared, but he held on to that bottom rope.
00:53:30Watch any match that Backlund was in.
00:53:32The point I'm making is Don's actually scared.
00:53:34Bob wasn't.
00:53:35It doesn't matter.
00:53:36You can still win the match by being scared.
00:53:41Number 28 is the newest member of Friday Night SmackDown.
00:53:47Thanks to the transfer window, Damian Priest, who became just the second person in history
00:53:53to cash in the Money in the Bank contract at WrestleMania.
00:53:56Following the footsteps of a man who's still in the ring, Seth Rollins.
00:53:59And here comes Priest.
00:54:02The Punisher of SmackDown has arrived.
00:54:05Yet another heavyweight talent former.
00:54:08Whoa, heavyweight champ in the ring.
00:54:11Looking to get back to the top of the mountain.
00:54:13There's a lot of precision strikes.
00:54:14Also very tall.
00:54:16It'll be tough to get out of here.
00:54:19Oh, an old school.
00:54:21And Priest now.
00:54:23Oh, what a crossbody to McIntyre.
00:54:24Old school punishment.
00:54:26Got that from his mentor, the Undertaker.
00:54:28There is no finer mentor on the planet.
00:54:30And remember who McIntyre cast the contract in on at WrestleMania.
00:54:33None other than Drew McIntyre.
00:54:37And now AJ Styles with Damian up top.
00:54:39Priest.
00:54:39Oh, that hurt.
00:54:41Jeez.
00:54:43My passion, of course, thanks in large part to the antics of CM Punk, who is still a...
00:54:47Oh, Dominic from behind.
00:54:48Of course, once a Judgment Day member with Damian Priest, before Priest was excommunicated.
00:54:55Thanks for coming, Dom.
00:54:57A little moves into the south of heaven there.
00:54:59And Dominic Mysterio is eliminated.
00:55:03I'm glad you didn't bet him.
00:55:06Nobody bet on Dominic Mysterio.
00:55:08The dream is over.
00:55:14The amount of dream superstars at one Royal Rumble right now.
00:55:19Number 29 will be on his way.
00:55:21One spot will remain after this.
00:55:23Ha ha.
00:55:24Ha ha.
00:55:27Come on, Cole.
00:55:28Try and be neutral for once.
00:55:30Yeah!
00:55:32Yeah.
00:55:33I thought you were going to be neutral.
00:55:35The air is thick with the smell of Kavalka.
00:55:40And 70,000 people's loins are tingling.
00:55:45That's right.
00:55:45That was the most disgusting piece of color analysis I've ever heard.
00:55:49No, I've heard much worse from you.
00:55:51Oh, okay.
00:55:51Thanks.
00:55:51LA Knight, 0-2 in non-Rumble matches.
00:55:54This is the first time in his career, Wade, he's been in the Rumble match.
00:55:57Yes, it is.
00:55:58The Megastar is amped up and ready to make a major statement here against the biggest of
00:56:03body state WWE WWE.
00:56:08Oh!
00:56:12AJ Styles has had a neck breaker.
00:56:16A little bit of heat.
00:56:18Heat.
00:56:21Heat.
00:56:22Heat.
00:56:25Heat.
00:56:26Heat.
00:56:27Heat.
00:56:28Heat.
00:56:28Heat.
00:56:29Heat.
00:56:29Heat.
00:56:30Heat.
00:56:35Heat.
00:56:37Heat.
00:56:38Heat.
00:56:40Heat.
00:56:43Heat.
00:56:44Heat.
00:56:44Heat.
00:56:45Heat.
00:56:45Yeah.
00:56:45Heat!
00:56:47Heat!
00:56:49What a frenzy of energy in this stadium.
00:56:53Well, and Wade, we don't have to talk.
00:56:55It's amazing.
00:56:57This great crowd in Indianapolis is doing our job for us.
00:57:01Well, it's the best commentary you've ever done, Michael Cole.
00:57:03Thanks, Wade.
00:57:05You're just welcome.
00:57:06Sami Zayn eyeing Big Oose.
00:57:11Honorary Oose helping up Roman.
00:57:13Remember, as you see, and in front behind is McIntyre.
00:57:17Heyman's out here at ringside.
00:57:19Remember, Punks in this match.
00:57:20Paul still does Punks a favor.
00:57:22A mystery favor that we really don't know the full details of.
00:57:27Paul, can you tell us what that favor was, sir?
00:57:30That you won't pump.
00:57:31Sami's eliminated.
00:57:33Well, Sami is out.
00:57:34Sami Zayn eliminated in this match.
00:57:38The wise man's lips are firmly sealed.
00:57:41This focus exclusively.
00:57:43Glasgow kiss by McIntyre.
00:57:44On the tribal chief, Roman Reigns.
00:57:46This is the final entry of the match.
00:57:48One of these men's going to Mania.
00:58:12The social media megastar.
00:58:16The former United States champion.
00:58:19Now part of Monday Night Raw on Netflix.
00:58:23Logan Paul enters his second Royal Rumble.
00:58:28And if you thought dirty dollars hated in this building, the Maverick just broke the damn scale.
00:58:37And he's ready to break some hearts by booking his ticket to the main event of Wrestlemania.
00:58:43Remember the viral moment he and Ricochet created a couple of years ago?
00:58:46Logan Paul now on the top rope.
00:58:48And there it is.
00:58:49Exploding into that double close line.
00:58:52Logan Paul drawing number 30.
00:58:55What a set up for the Maverick.
00:58:57There are 10 men left.
00:58:58Who is going to go to Wrestlemania?
00:59:00Logan Paul.
00:59:01Oh, great suplex by Paul to Jey Uso.
00:59:06Perfect flex delivered by Logan.
00:59:09Now, here's a good story here.
00:59:11The man who took the United States Championship from Logan Paul was...
00:59:15L.A. Knight.
00:59:17Yeah.
00:59:18McIntyre's out.
00:59:19McIntyre's out.
00:59:22And the mind continues to spiral.
00:59:27The Drew McIntyre, thanks to Damian Priest.
00:59:30We are down to nine.
00:59:33Roman Reigns looks to eliminate L.A. Knight.
00:59:36Meanwhile, it's Seth Rollins stomping away on Logan Paul.
00:59:40They've had a history.
00:59:41A lot of harsh words exchanged between those two and matches as well.
00:59:44And CM Punk said, let me get my turn.
00:59:46And now A.J. Styles wants some of Logan Paul.
00:59:49L.A. Knight wants his two.
00:59:53Well, hate him or hate him.
00:59:55Logan Paul is always a point of viewing, but it may be a short stop at this rumble.
01:00:00Knight looking to eliminate Logan Paul.
01:00:04Logan Paul on the apron now.
01:00:06L.A. Knight.
01:00:09Trying to eliminate Logan Paul.
01:00:11Paul's in trouble.
01:00:12You said it might be a short night for Logan.
01:00:14Logan now leaping from the ring to our announce table.
01:00:18His feet did not hit the floor.
01:00:20L.A. Knight cannot believe it.
01:00:22The athleticism for the roof.
01:00:25And that just makes people hate him more.
01:00:27But technically, Logan Paul is still in the Royal Rumble.
01:00:31Well, Logan Paul said he will work smarter, not harder.
01:00:35And L.A. Knight just eliminated Priest on the other side.
01:00:38Priest is eliminated.
01:00:40Logan Paul like a jungle cat jumping over to our desk.
01:00:43The herd is spinning.
01:00:45The numbers are dropping.
01:00:46And it's getting increasingly likely that Logan Paul isolated on an island over here on our desk.
01:00:53And of course...
01:00:54You can win this damn thing by doing literally nothing.
01:00:56He's a bit part.
01:00:57I'm sure he's got to have a front.
01:00:58Yeah, bottom of prime costume for the crowd.
01:01:01A.J. Styles now eliminates L.A. Knight.
01:01:06Let's give Logan a commentator.
01:01:08Yeah.
01:01:09Oh, wait a minute.
01:01:11Logan.
01:01:12Logan Paul now on the barricade.
01:01:14He goes from commentator to the barricade.
01:01:16Feet have not touched the ground.
01:01:17We have seven left in this match.
01:01:19Logan Paul's still in it.
01:01:20He has not been eliminated as of yet.
01:01:22You've got to figure out how Paul's going to get back into this thing.
01:01:24A.J. Styles now sent out to the apron.
01:01:26Paul now to the steps.
01:01:27Paul is in this.
01:01:28Feet have not touched the floor.
01:01:29The little Paul cool going on here.
01:01:31And Logan Paul now targeting Styles.
01:01:34Logan Paul eliminates A.J. Styles.
01:01:37Brilliance from Logan Paul.
01:01:40You've got to give it up for him, Pat.
01:01:42How could you not?
01:01:43Jungle catch to our desk and the barricade down the stairs
01:01:46and sneaks up and eliminates the phenomenal one.
01:01:49Roman is looking at Logan.
01:01:50Remember the great match they had in Saudi Arabia a couple of years ago
01:01:53where Logan almost shocked the world and ended.
01:01:56Roman Reigns streak as champion.
01:02:00Cena's in there.
01:02:01Uso's in there.
01:02:02Rollins and Puck.
01:02:04The final six and the penny is dropping.
01:02:07You are tantalizingly close to winning this thing.
01:02:11Who's going to the main event of WrestleMania?
01:02:16Roman Reigns now.
01:02:17Goes after Logan Paul.
01:02:18Cena after Jey Uso.
01:02:19Puck now backs Rollins into the corner.
01:02:22Down with these six left in there.
01:02:23You're an absolute fool if you make a prediction from here.
01:02:33Logan Paul now.
01:02:34CM Punk with Paul up on top.
01:02:36Looking at the GTS.
01:02:37Connect.
01:02:38Ball asleep.
01:02:39Big kick from Rollins.
01:02:42Super kick from J. Blocked.
01:02:46Oh, Pedigree.
01:02:48Cena.
01:02:51Went for the AA.
01:02:53Superman punch.
01:02:57Stomp.
01:02:58The Shield are back in rhythm.
01:03:02Stomp.
01:03:05And Alliance is back on.
01:03:08And Roman Reigns and San Francisco Rollins can clear house and leave themselves to bottle it out.
01:03:16So much history.
01:03:19Roman has not forgotten that Rollins stabbed him in the back those many years ago.
01:03:24It may have cost Reigns the championship at WrestleMania.
01:03:27Roman has been obsessed with Seth Rollins since then.
01:03:55Everybody in this building, including myself, are on their feet.
01:04:00This is where it came back together.
01:04:01And this is where it ends.
01:04:03Do you understand?
01:04:04You ain't getting another WrestleMania main thing.
01:04:07You ain't getting another World title.
01:04:09The only way you get it.
01:04:11The only way.
01:04:12Oh, don't you put your finger on me.
01:04:13Don't you touch me now.
01:04:15Don't you touch me now.
01:04:18This is an unforced error by both Rollins and Roman Reigns.
01:04:23So much history between a pair of them.
01:04:26They could have cleaned house by now.
01:04:28But they've already got eyes for one another.
01:04:30Yeah, there's that deep down hatred and disdain.
01:04:33Reigns will never forget Rollins to break it up the Shield.
01:04:35One of the greatest groups in the history of this company.
01:04:37Roman Reigns now with a big uppercut to Seth Rollins.
01:04:40Too much history.
01:04:41Too much pain between these two.
01:04:43And it's still costing them.
01:04:44With this stomp.
01:04:45Roman Reigns now.
01:04:47Superman Punch got caught by Seth Rollins.
01:04:49Rollins looking for a pedigree.
01:04:51Roman trying to fight out of it.
01:04:52And he does.
01:04:53He's got Seth up on his shoulders.
01:04:54Looking to eliminate Seth now.
01:04:57Seth fighting.
01:04:58To the other side.
01:04:59Rollins trying to hang on.
01:05:01Roman trying to eliminate Seth Rollins.
01:05:03We have six left.
01:05:04Six men left in this match.
01:05:06Your four dead bodies are out of the ring.
01:05:08While these two battle it out.
01:05:10Someone has to drop.
01:05:13Rollins with a superkick.
01:05:20And Seth looking to put Roman away.
01:05:23Ducks underneath.
01:05:24Roman now.
01:05:25Seth is hanging on.
01:05:26Seth's still hanging on.
01:05:28Somehow hanging on.
01:05:29Amazing maneuverability from the architect Seth Rollins.
01:05:33And now CM Punk eliminates Mothman.
01:05:36And he looks like Wade.
01:05:38The hatred between those two.
01:05:41Cost more than this match.
01:05:43CM Punk ready right to capitalize.
01:05:45Wait a second.
01:05:45Oh my God.
01:05:46Oh my God.
01:05:46Punk.
01:05:47Punk's eliminated Punk.
01:05:49He's not going to the main event of WrestleMania this year.
01:05:51We're down to three.
01:05:53Logan.
01:05:54Cena.
01:05:54Jey Uso.
01:06:03Oh my God.
01:06:07Somebody's suffering these two.
01:06:12Talk about hatred between Seth Rollins and Roman Reigns.
01:06:16It's even more heated between CM Punk and Seth Rollins.
01:06:23He is in the making.
01:06:25We've been waiting for this to come to a head.
01:06:27But not in this way.
01:06:33You have to think the disappointment of being eliminated this deep into the Royal Rumble.
01:06:38Has set both men off the edge.
01:06:41Punk's been dropped.
01:06:43Rollins now.
01:06:44Rollins is stalking Paul Heyman.
01:06:46Stalking Paul Heyman.
01:06:47Paul with nowhere to go.
01:06:49Oh.
01:06:49We can't get him on the floor.
01:06:52On the floor.
01:06:53On the floor.
01:06:54We're going to kill him.
01:06:56Now it's Roman.
01:06:57Oh my God.
01:06:58Oh my God.
01:06:58Oh no no.
01:06:58Roman look out.
01:06:59Roman.
01:07:00Let's stop on the stairs.
01:07:04Seth's lost it.
01:07:11He's staring a hole through Paul Heyman.
01:07:14A lot of dreams just evaporated.
01:07:17And still Rollins isn't done.
01:07:19Rollins and Tucker fighting.
01:07:20Meanwhile guys.
01:07:21Rollins still on up.
01:07:23We got Cena left.
01:07:24We got Paul left.
01:07:25We got Jey Uso left.
01:07:26The three carcasses in the ring right now.
01:07:29While we try to get some control out here.
01:07:31Complete devastation outside the ring.
01:07:36Roman Reigns eliminated.
01:07:39From the Royal Rumble.
01:07:42Same with Seth freaking Rollins by CM Punk.
01:07:48A lot of betting slips.
01:07:50Not hitting.
01:08:08I've ever been a part of.
01:08:09CM Punk looks absolutely inconsolable.
01:08:12We know how much he wanted that main event of WrestleMania.
01:08:16He literally quit the industry.
01:08:18Meanwhile.
01:08:18It's upon a time because he didn't get it.
01:08:20Let's reset here.
01:08:22We sold out over 70,000 in Indianapolis.
01:08:25We're down to three men.
01:08:26That man.
01:08:27The greatest of all time.
01:08:28John Cena.
01:08:29Looking to win a third Rumble.
01:08:30Jey Uso.
01:08:31Looking to create a miracle.
01:08:33Logan Paul.
01:08:34Looking to shock the world.
01:08:42Our Tribal Chief exits.
01:08:46Honorable.
01:08:48Jey Uso and Logan Paul.
01:08:55Logan and Jey now coming to blows.
01:08:57Logan Paul one of the biggest punchers in WWE.
01:09:02But Jey Uso seemingly is equal here.
01:09:05Logan has knockout power.
01:09:10Logan as well.
01:09:11Remember he's got that titanium plate in his hand.
01:09:14No.
01:09:16No.
01:09:19Jey now got caught.
01:09:20Logan spins him around.
01:09:22Gets a kick right to the face.
01:09:23Tinkage Jey Uso.
01:09:25Air Force One to the jaw.
01:09:27This is all playing into the favor of John Cena.
01:09:29Who's getting maximum recovery time.
01:09:31Yeah.
01:09:32John Cena moves out of harm's way.
01:09:33Cena now.
