00:00:00So Jericho and Cass will start this matchup for Chris Jericho.
00:00:05It is an opportunity to better his time from last year.
00:00:12Last year he lasted 15 minutes in the Royal Rumble match.
00:00:15You don't want to be referred to as the sexy pinata anymore?
00:00:18No, not anymore cuz he's out of the cage.
00:00:19So here we go, Cass and Jericho sizing each other up.
00:00:23Chris Jericho, two other times in his career, entered at number two.
00:00:282003 and 2013.
00:00:31And look at Cass backing Jericho into the corner.
00:00:33Big right hands to the midsection, and the seven footer goes to work.
00:00:38Well, Chris Jericho's, I mean, he's a veteran for sure.
00:00:40He's got a lot of experience, but sometimes I question his strategy.
00:00:44Why would you slap a guy like, big Cass right in the mouth to start the match?
00:00:48There's a far away slam from Cass.
00:00:50You know, Corey, only the two tallest winners in Royal Rumble match history.
00:00:57Big John Studd and The Undertaker.
00:01:00Big Cass at seven foot would join that elite group.
00:01:03I think surprisingly, throughout history, the larger the superstar,
00:01:06the worse your luck.
00:01:07You almost find yourself as a target.
00:01:09In this year's Royal Rumble match, there are so many monsters, so many giants.
00:01:13You're not gonna have that same situation.
00:01:15Chris Jericho looking perhaps to put Big Cass into the walls of Jericho, but
00:01:19not quite sure what the strategy would be here.
00:01:22Maybe Chris is still suffering from a little vertigo from that shark cage.
00:01:26It's really high up there, King.
00:01:27I know.
00:01:30In the mouth.
00:01:32Jericho sent over the top rope, lands on the apron.
00:01:34Remember, both feet must hit the floor.
00:01:37Jericho, high risk here.
00:01:38You don't often want to go up to the top rope.
00:01:40It puts you in a position to- Here comes entry number three.
00:01:45And there goes Jericho.
00:01:46And making his first Rumble match appearance ever from SmackDown Live.
00:01:55It's Kalisto.
00:01:56Remember, it was from the number three spot in 1992 that
00:02:01Ric Flair won the Royal Rumble match, went on to win the WWE title that night.
00:02:08Listen, I understand Kalisto's excited to take part in the Royal Rumble match, but
00:02:12I don't know if it's the best maneuver to spend so much energy coming down the aisle.
00:02:16Full speed ahead like that, you need to conserve your energy.
00:02:19No, he has plenty of energy.
00:02:20Lap is- Whoa.
00:02:23Kalisto, and caught Jericho with a kick.
00:02:26That is a long trip down that aisle, you guys.
00:02:2965 yards down there.
00:02:31Also curious to see if Kalisto will be able to execute his high off.
00:02:35My goodness, in trouble on the apron.
00:02:38Kalisto caught Cass with a kick.
00:02:40His high risk offense as the ring fills up with superstars, but
00:02:43Kalisto's doing very well thus far.
00:02:45And when Big Cass has caught him, looking to perhaps eliminate Kalisto.
00:02:49Kalisto is elusive.
00:02:51Very quick.
00:02:52Look at that, look at that.
00:02:53Uh-oh, that's embarrassing.
00:02:56Hamstrings, midsection, knees, the kicks from Kalisto and one boot by Cass.
00:03:01Floors the high flying Kalisto.
00:03:07And now Jericho, back to work on Big Cass.
00:03:12Chris Jericho closing in on history, I'll tell you about that.
00:03:16Chris Jericho closing in on history, I'll tell you about that in a moment.
00:03:19As we now wait for entry number four.
00:03:23Who's it gonna be?
00:03:28From SmackDown Live, Mojo Rawley.
00:03:31King, I have a feeling you like this kind of guy.
00:03:33He's excitable.
00:03:35Mojo qualified at the SmackDown Over the Top Rope Challenge this past Tuesday night.
00:03:40And there's Mojo Rawley heading to the ring.
00:03:42SmackDown Live's resident blithering idiot.
00:03:45Blithering idiot?
00:03:47That's an insult to idiots.
00:03:48Mojo, what a shoulder tackle.
00:03:52Rawley, high octane, offensive style, all energy.
00:03:57Flooring Jericho there.
00:04:00Now Big Cass backing Rawley into the corner and now exchanging right hands.
00:04:03And look at Rawley fight out.
00:04:05Getting scrappy in the corner.
00:04:07Mojo Rawley played football at University of Maryland for the Green Bay Packers.
00:04:13He joined other notable football stars to win the Rumble match,
00:04:16like Lex Luger and Roman Reigns.
00:04:18Boy, I think his helmet was a little too small, though, during those football games.
00:04:21He's almost over and out of here.
00:04:25Yeah, Big Cass looking to eliminate Mojo, and now Chris Jericho.
00:04:28There you go, that's how you take advantage of it.
00:04:30Working with Rawley to try to eliminate the big guy.
00:04:33This is what I was talking about.
00:04:34The bigger you are, the bigger the target on your back in the Royal Rumble match.
00:04:38No, no.
00:04:43And now Jericho hammering away on Big Cass.
00:04:45And guys, Chris Jericho just made history.
00:04:47Chris Jericho now has, he's been in the Royal Rumble match,
00:04:52combined longest time in history, and over four hours now in his career.
00:04:57More than any other superstar.
00:04:58More than any other superstar in history, Chris Jericho just made history.
00:05:02And entering number five from 205 Live,
00:05:06the Cruiserweight Show on the WWE Network, the gentleman, Jack Gallagher.
00:05:13The Royal Rumble match is getting injected with a dose of class.
00:05:17Jack Gallagher with William III, the umbrella.
00:05:21And perhaps number five's a lucky number for Jack Gallagher, guys,
00:05:24because it was from this spot in 1997.
00:05:27Stone Cold Steve Austin won right here in the Alamo Dome.
00:05:30The first of his back-to-back Rumble wins.
00:05:35Jack, I don't know if you've had an opportunity to see a lot of Jack Gallagher,
00:05:39but he is spectacular, so different.
00:05:42And let me clarify, William III,
00:05:43the umbrella is not an official entrant into the Royal Rumble match.
00:05:47The first time I saw Jack Gallagher, he was wearing all black, and
00:05:50I thought he was a closed umbrella.
00:05:51Boom.
00:05:53Look at Jericho, so proud of himself.
00:05:59Watch your back.
00:06:00You better look out from behind, because Jack Gallagher with umbrella in hand.
00:06:05Singing in the rain.
00:06:08No.
00:06:09Talk about embarrassing Jack Gallagher with a drop kick.
00:06:17It has not been a great night for Jericho to remember, has it?
00:06:19Not yet.
00:06:21Tonight, William III will never forget, I can assure you that.
00:06:25And now Cass and Kalisto in the corner.
00:06:27Kalisto up on the top rope now, does not want to be up there.
00:06:30He's here for Cass to dump him over.
00:06:32Holy cow.
00:06:32And now it sends Kalisto back to the center of the ring.
00:06:35Kalisto had just finally recovered from being obliterated by Mojo.
00:06:38And Mojo again.
00:06:40This time trying to get a little payback on Cass,
00:06:42who tried to eliminate him earlier on in the matchup.
00:06:45And if Big Cass had thrown Kalisto the other direction,
00:06:47he would have landed in the fourth row.
00:06:48You're now awaiting number six.
00:06:54I love this tension.
00:06:58Who's it gonna be?
00:06:59What?
00:07:04Mark Henry.
00:07:08Texas born and bred.
00:07:11The world's strongest man entering his ninth Royal Rumble match of his career.
00:07:17The Alamo Dome just transformed into the Hall of Fame.
00:07:21Mark Henry's gotta be a favorite.
00:07:23Wait a minute, look at.
00:07:24And now the ring filling up with superstars awaiting the arrival of Mark Henry.
00:07:31Mark Henry, guys, last year's Rumble,
00:07:32it took three men to eliminate Mark Henry from last year's Royal Rumble.
00:07:37And the last we've seen Mark Henry, Mark looks reinvigorated.
00:07:41I think the bodies are about to start flying.
00:07:45Mark Henry's had a Hall of Fame career in the WWE, but
00:07:48what a way to top things off by winning the Royal Rumble matchup.
00:07:53And he goes right after the biggest guy in the ring.
00:07:55Well, the other biggest guy in the ring.
00:07:58Gallagher's headbutt has taken out many a superstar.
00:08:02Launched through the ropes.
00:08:03That was not an elimination.
00:08:05Through the ropes.
00:08:06Remember, gotta go over the top rope with both feet hitting the floor.
00:08:10And Mark Henry, headbutt to Jericho.
00:08:14Trying to show Gallagher how to do those headbutts.
00:08:16Hook him horns.
00:08:23The native Texan Mark Henry making a massive impact in the Royal Rumble match.
00:08:32Jack Gallagher, what is going on?
00:08:35He's doing his best Mary Poppins impersonation.
00:08:38And I don't think Mark Henry likes Miss Poppins.
00:08:41Gallagher sent over the top rope.
00:08:43A spoonful of sugar will not help that, Mr. Gallagher.
00:08:47Mark Henry has eliminated Jack Gallagher.
00:08:49And now we await number seven.
00:08:55Uh-oh, brace yourself.
00:09:05King, this guy's a mountain among men.
00:09:07No kidding.
00:09:08And you saw what Braun Strowman did earlier tonight.
00:09:10Costing Roman Reigns the WWE Universal Title.
00:09:14What havoc will he wreak here in the Rumble?
00:09:18As much havoc as Braun Strowman feels like wreaking, Michael,
00:09:22we know Braun Strowman only does what Braun Strowman wants to do.
00:09:26You know, last year was Braun Strowman's rookie year in the Rumble.
00:09:29He eliminated five people.
00:09:31He lasted nearly 20 minutes.
00:09:34And Strowman is back for more.
00:09:36Look at this guy.
00:09:36Every time I see Braun Strowman, I wonder where he-
00:09:39Where he parked his blue ox.
00:09:41And now Mojo Rawley, gotta give Mojo credit, taking a ring for Braun Strowman.
00:09:46But Braun's still on his feet, stunned a bit by Rawley.
00:09:50Splashed in the corner.
00:09:53And look out.
00:09:54Whoa!
00:09:54My goodness.
00:09:57And you hear the voice of Chris Jericho behind us.
00:09:59Chris Jericho has come over behind the announcer table.
00:10:02Rawley was just eliminated by Strowman.
00:10:06What a big boot there.
00:10:08Big cast.
00:10:09Big cast.
00:10:09Look at the acceleration of Strowman.
00:10:11There goes Strowman.
00:10:12There goes Cass.
00:10:13Oh no.
00:10:15Kalisto from behind, making an effort, but might just be angering the monster.
00:10:22Barely budging Strowman.
00:10:23Uh-oh. No, no, no, no.
00:10:25Braun Strowman has eliminated everything in his path.
00:10:28Watch it. Watch it.
00:10:29Mojo.
00:10:30Here we go.
00:10:30Cass.
00:10:32Kalisto.
00:10:34Drief.
00:10:35Stay over here, Chris.
00:10:36Uh-oh.
00:10:38And now Strowman and Mark Henry face-to-face, these two behemoths.
00:10:44We're talking about some of the biggest men in history.
00:10:46Here they go.
00:10:47In last two of them, Strowman and Henry, exchanging blows.
00:10:53Whoa!
00:10:54Remember, you can see Jericho on the outside of your screen.
00:10:56Chris Jericho has still entered in the Royal Rumble match.
00:10:59Strowman's gonna dump.
00:11:00Henry's still in it.
00:11:01Mark Henry's still in it.
00:11:03Mark Henry's still in it.
00:11:04No!
00:11:05He's been eliminated.
00:11:05Strowman has eliminated four men in about two minutes.
00:11:10He's owning this Royal Rumble.
00:11:12He could be on pace to break Roman Reigns' record of 12, set in 2014.
00:11:18Braun Strowman single-handedly cleared the entire ring.
00:11:21Now, remember, Jericho's still in the match.
00:11:23He's been hanging outside the ring here, staying away from Strowman.
00:11:26Do you blame him?
00:11:28Uh-oh.
00:11:29And here's Sami Zayn.
00:11:31He drew number eight in the tumbler roll a little bit earlier on tonight.
00:11:36He beat Seth Rollins Monday to earn this spot.
00:11:39But you know Sami Zayn can't be excited to see Braun Strowman.
00:11:43We know the history between these two.
00:11:45Look at Sami go.
00:11:46And remember, it started at last year's Rumble, guys.
00:11:48Sami Zayn, a surprise entry, was actually eliminated by Braun Strowman in last
00:11:53year's Royal Rumble match.
00:11:55Well, Sami came in fist to flying, but he's cut off quickly now by Strowman.
00:12:00Strowman with that primal concrete sledge to the heart of Sami Zayn.
00:12:04Man, can you imagine if Sami Zayn could eliminate Braun Strowman tonight?
00:12:12You think that would be retribution or
00:12:14revenge for everything Strowman's put Sami through?
00:12:16I'm sure it's crossed Sami Zayn's mind, but you gotta be realistic.
00:12:19This is- No.
00:12:20This is insanity.
00:12:21Sami's still in it, lands on his feet.
00:12:24Hey, hey, hey, no.
00:12:25Sami Zayn may have had delusions of grandeur.
00:12:28He went for that suplex, but
00:12:29perhaps it's gonna allow Sami Zayn to eliminate Strowman here.
00:12:34Listen, we know if nothing else, Sami Zayn is defiant.
00:12:37He is a tough individual.
00:12:39There is no quit in Zayn, but maybe right now there should be.
00:12:43I don't know if there's any one man in this Rumble that could
00:12:46eliminate that guy by themselves.
00:12:48I don't know who it is.
00:12:49Braun Strowman has just been on this incredible,
00:12:53just path of carnage over the past number of months.
00:12:57Look out.
00:12:58Destroying and eliminating everything in his path.
00:13:00He's already eliminated four men from this Rumble match tonight as we now await
00:13:05entry number nine.
00:13:07Five, four, three, two, one.
00:13:12Here is- Oh, no.
00:13:18That man spoke too soon.
00:13:21I think this guy can eliminate Strowman by himself.
00:13:24I'm sure the Big Show intends on finding out, but
00:13:28I also don't believe Braun Strowman has any intention of receding the ring.
00:13:34The world's largest athlete, the Big Show,
00:13:38face to face with a monster among men, Braun Strowman.
00:13:44This is the 12th appearance in his career for Big Show.
00:13:47Second most in Rumble history, tied with Shawn Michaels behind Kane, 17.
00:13:53Big Show has eliminated 31 people in the Royal Rumble match.
00:13:58But guys, last year's Royal Rumble match, Braun Strowman eliminated the Big Show.
00:14:05I remember that well.
00:14:06I'm sure the Big Show does as well.
00:14:08You're right about that.
00:14:09And Big Show looks to be in the best shape of his life.
00:14:12Notice how the Big Show's icy gaze has not broken.
00:14:16Eyes locked on the monster among men.
00:14:19What a moment.
00:14:20Big Show and Braun Strowman picking up where they left off on Raw Monday night.
00:14:26Locked.
00:14:27Big Show, big right hand, still in that section of Strowman.
00:14:30Off goes Big Show with a wicked clothesline.
00:14:36A single clothesline from Strowman just felled the Big Show.
00:14:40I don't know that I've ever seen that before.
00:14:42Now, Sami Zayn is still in this match, as is Chris Jericho,
00:14:46who's still roaming around out here at ringside, staying out of the fray.
00:14:51I'll tell you something, this Braun Strowman, and Strowman.
00:14:56Can he eliminate Big Show?
00:14:57Big Show caught him.
00:14:59Big Show, chokeslam position for Strowman.
00:15:02He got him.
00:15:02Chokeslam to Strowman.
00:15:07And now Jericho slides back in.
00:15:10Remember, these guys used to be best friends, Jericho and Big Show.
00:15:12Jericho was thinking Codebreaker, but I.
00:15:17Good night.
00:15:18The bigger they are, the harder they hit.
00:15:21WMD, the big old KO punch from Big Show.
00:15:24Give him one.
00:15:27This is unbelievable.
00:15:28This is incredible.
00:15:29The world's largest athlete.
00:15:31Strowman though, lands on his feet.
00:15:33And there's power and it's over.
00:15:35My God.
00:15:35Braun Strowman.
00:15:38This is amazing.
00:15:40The stalemate between two monsters.
00:15:44Big Show, Big Show.
00:15:45He's got the leverage.
00:15:46No way.
00:15:46He's got the leverage.
00:15:48Strowman looking to eliminate the Big Show.
00:15:50Big Show hanging on for dear life.
00:15:52Big Show desperately trying to- No, no, no, no.
00:15:54Big Show eliminated by Strowman.
00:15:57Five eliminations for Braun Strowman.
00:16:06Well, here comes number ten.
00:16:09The tension's still palpable between Big Show and Strowman.
00:16:14I hate to admit, Big Show was my pick for winning.
00:16:16Guys, wait a minute.
00:16:19NXT.
00:16:20It's a perfect ten.
00:16:25In the ten position.
00:16:27Ty Dillinger is in the Royal Rumble match.
00:16:30I can't believe it.
00:16:35Ty Dillinger in his first Royal Rumble match.
00:16:39Unfortunately, Ty Dillinger at number ten has to come in and face one on one.
00:16:45Braun Strowman.
00:16:45What a match Dillinger had in NXT TakeOver last night with Eric Young of Saturday.
00:16:50And now Dillinger trying to take out Strowman.
00:16:52Dillinger wasting no time taking the fight to Strowman.
00:16:56What we've learned about Dillinger, Corey, you've covered his career.
00:16:58He never gives up, does he?
00:17:00Dillinger, one of the most wildly popular superstars in NXT.
00:17:03You listen to the Alamo Dome rocking.
00:17:05Ten, ten, ten.
00:17:07They're screaming.
00:17:09And now Sami Zayn from behind.
00:17:11Sami Zayn extremely familiar with Dillinger from their time together in NXT.
00:17:17An alliance of sorts is what's needed if you want any chance against Braun Strowman.
00:17:21Yeah, two men forming a team to try to take out Braun Strowman.
00:17:27Dillinger from behind again.
00:17:31Well, the good thing about teamwork is you never have to take all the blame
00:17:34yourself.
00:17:35Let's see what's gonna happen here with these two.
00:17:37Sami calling for Dillinger to help out here.
00:17:39Yeah, help, help.
00:17:40No way.
00:17:42What on earth?
00:17:42No way.
00:17:44Can they do it?
00:17:45Can they do it?
00:17:46My God.
00:17:47No.
00:17:47No, but Strowman with a double suplex of his own.
00:17:50Here comes number 11.
00:17:52Wait a minute.
00:17:58Well, I guess the WWE universe has spoken.
00:18:01James Ellsworth has been all over social media lobbying for
00:18:05a spot in this matchup.
00:18:06And there's, I guess, his new girlfriend, Corey Carmella.
00:18:10Carmella's the best possible thing that could have happened to Ellsworth.
00:18:13Ellsworth's career has skyrocketed since these two came together.
00:18:18This guy's a total waste of skin.
00:18:19How on the earth did he get a place in the Royal Rumble?
00:18:22King James Ellsworth has taken AJ Styles to the limit on multiple occasions.
00:18:27You just like him because you two obviously share the same barber.
00:18:31He's a joke.
00:18:32Get him out of here.
00:18:34And Ellsworth, Carmella trying to get Ellsworth into the ring.
00:18:38And Ellsworth does not want to get in there with Braun Strowman.
00:18:41Don't forget the very first time the WWE universe ever saw James Ellsworth.
00:18:45He was being destroyed by Braun Strowman.
00:18:47And from behind, Shane, Shane and Dillinger.
00:18:49Are you kidding?
00:18:50Looking to eliminate Strowman.
00:18:52Strowman trying to hang on.
00:18:53The big man's in trouble.
00:18:54He's hanging on.
00:18:55Feet off the touch.
00:18:56Feet off the touch.
00:18:57And Strowman gets his way back to the apron.
00:18:58They're not through with him yet, though.
00:19:00Braun Strowman with a vice-like grip on the ropes.
00:19:03Strongman background coming into play as he runs through two.
00:19:08And guys, that could have been the best opportunity to eliminate Braun Strowman in
00:19:12this match.
00:19:13Yeah, but I can tell you this.
00:19:14If they hadn't eliminated Braun Strowman off that distraction from James Ellsworth,
00:19:18Ellsworth would be a grease spot right now.
00:19:21Corey made the point.
00:19:22Strowman destroyed Ellsworth in Ellsworth's very first match here at WWE.
00:19:26He didn't do a good enough job.
00:19:27Ellsworth is still standing over there.
00:19:30Number 12.
00:19:31This could get interesting.
00:19:38We know Dean Ambrose is absolutely fearless.
00:19:45We're about to find out what the lunatic bridge is made of when he goes toe to toe
00:19:50with a monster among men.
00:19:51Get rid of him, Dean.
00:19:54Ambrose, Intercontinental Champion, but
00:19:56also has had a quite the relationship over the past few months with James Ellsworth.
00:20:00Ambrose is pumping up Ellsworth.
00:20:04Ambrose and his fourth Royal Rumble match.
00:20:07Ellsworth is in knowing, well, Dean decided not to go along.
00:20:10That's great.
00:20:11And Ellsworth ran right into Strowman.
00:20:13Even the lunatic can outsmart Ellsworth, apparently.
00:20:16This is the earliest Dean Ambrose has ever entered the Royal Rumble match in his
00:20:20career.
00:20:21Ellsworth eliminated.
00:20:23That is elimination number six for Braun Strowman.
00:20:27Again, Roman Reigns record of 12 eliminations could be in jeopardy.
00:20:31And Ambrose cagey maneuver.
00:20:33Watch this.
00:20:34Watch this.
00:20:34Watch this landing.
00:20:38Meanwhile, Ambrose elbow off the top rope, trying to take Braun Strowman out.
00:20:42That hurt just watching Ellsworth needs a hip replacement.
00:20:46The good news is Carmella can nurse him back to health.
00:20:48And let's not forget, guys.
00:20:49Last year, Dean Ambrose finished second in the Royal Rumble match.
00:20:55He was eliminated by the winner, Triple H.
00:20:57Uh-oh.
00:20:57Uh-oh.
00:21:01Knee right on the ear.
00:21:02Knee right.
00:21:03And now, Dillinger with a drop kick.
00:21:06Right in the mouth.
00:21:07Incredible height.
00:21:08Vertical leap by Ty Dillinger.
00:21:11Now we got not a double team, but a triple team working on Strowman.
00:21:16What a right hand.
00:21:18Strowman blasting Zayn.
00:21:19And again, Corey, I ask you this question on Raw every week.
00:21:22Who's gonna stop this guy?
00:21:24Well, if it can be done, we'll find out tonight.
00:21:26Because 29 superstars have the opportunity.
00:21:29That said, I don't see anyone being able to do it.
00:21:32Here comes number 13.
00:21:35That's an unlucky number.
00:21:37Oh, this is about to get good.
00:21:43Oh, yes, it is.
00:21:44SmackDown Live's lone wolf, Baron Corbin.
00:21:48Remember Baron Corbin's first match ever in WWE?
00:21:51He won the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at WrestleMania, so
00:21:56he can win a match like this.
00:21:57Corbin was staring a hole through Strowman.
00:22:02Now we got four on one.
00:22:04Yeah, Baron Corbin entering at number 13.
00:22:07Gentlemen, I believe this particular moment-
00:22:10Oh, Strowman battling out.
00:22:11Oh.
00:22:11Big boot to Corbin.
00:22:14Dillinger eliminated.
00:22:15That's elimination number seven by Strowman.
00:22:18Thanks for coming, Ty.
00:22:22It's interesting, the 13 number for Baron Corbin.
00:22:25That is the spot where Axe saw Jim Duggan.
00:22:27Won the very first Royal Rumble match in 1988 probably.
00:22:31The Ambrose with a drop kick from the top rope, but still,
00:22:34oh my goodness, the impact behind Corbin.
00:22:36Well, how do you know all this information?
00:22:38I bet you know where Hidden Valley Ranch is.
00:22:40I did my homework.
00:22:42Insane, what a big halloumi kick.
00:22:44Caught him right in the jaw.
00:22:45And now Corbin, and Strowman.
00:22:48No!
00:22:49Eliminate Strowman.
00:22:50Corbin eliminates Strowman.
00:22:53Michael Cole, you've been asking me for months,
00:22:55how do you stop Braun Strowman?
00:22:58You do it with a lone wolf.
00:23:02And now Dean Ambrose brings his attention with 30 deeds to Baron Corbin.
00:23:07I'm still in shock.
00:23:09Braun Strowman eliminated right before our very eyes.
00:23:11Watch this.
00:23:12The halloumi kick by Zayn.
00:23:14That must have felt good for seven.
00:23:16That rattled him.
00:23:17This is what took him out.
00:23:18Head full of steam.
00:23:20Taking the monster among men out of the Royal Rumble match with authority.
00:23:26And now it's Sami Zayn looking to eliminate the Intercontinental Champion
00:23:29as we wait for number 14 to enter this matchup.
00:23:32Dean stays in it.
00:23:34I wouldn't want to be around Braun Strowman for about the next three or four weeks.
00:23:37No.
00:23:41Here we go.
00:23:42Who is it?
00:23:45Kofi Kingston.
00:23:46The first member of New Day to enter the Royal Rumble match.
00:23:49And this is Kofi's ninth Royal Rumble.
00:23:51But think about all the ways over the years, guys,
00:23:53Kofi Kingston has survived to stay in the Rumble match.
00:23:56Some of the greatest feats we've ever seen.
00:23:58No kidding.
00:23:59Kofi Kingston, always spectacular.
00:24:01But you know, he doesn't want to be known in history as the guy that
00:24:04always almost won it but got eliminated in cool ways.
00:24:08No, nobody does.
00:24:09Kofi Kingston wants to win the thing.
00:24:12Now Sami looking to eliminate Dean.
00:24:14Dean hangs on on the other side.
00:24:16Kofi Kingston now from behind.
00:24:17Looking to eliminate Sami Zayn.
00:24:18And now Baron Corbin blasting Sami.
00:24:27Big right hand by Baron Corbin drops Kofi Kingston.
00:24:33You were out here.
00:24:34Remember the one year that Kofi Kingston used JBL's chair like a pogo stick?
00:24:38I was just trying to think of all the different...
00:24:40I think we've seen him...
00:24:41Oh, Corbin under the bottom rope still in it.
00:24:43I think we've seen Kofi do handstands.
00:24:45Walk on his hands.
00:24:46All sorts of things.
00:24:48Corbin is an absolutely horrifying blend of power, speed and intensity.
00:24:52Incredibly agile for a man of his size.
00:24:55And man does Corbin hit hard.
00:24:56And Corey, can you imagine the confidence now in Corbin after eliminating Braun Strowman?
00:25:01You can see it in Corbin's eyes when he walked to the ring.
00:25:04Corbin was feeling confident.
00:25:05He feels like he deserves to be in the ring with the Undertakers.
00:25:09With Brock Lesnar.
00:25:10With some of the biggest names in the game.
00:25:11Well, Corey, is he your new pick to win?
00:25:13You going with Corbin?
00:25:14I wouldn't bet against Baron Corbin.
00:25:16And we're now halfway through with number 15.
00:25:21Oh, I might bet on this guy.
00:25:25He's a veteran of Royal Rumble matches.
00:25:28Accompanied by his wife, Maryse.
00:25:29The Miz enters his 10th Royal Rumble match.
00:25:33He is 8th all time.
00:25:36I actually know for a fact that he's going to win.
00:25:38He told me so himself.
00:25:41I was actually hoping the Miz would at least hang around till the very end
00:25:44because we would get to see Maryse.
00:25:45But she went to the back.
00:25:46So I don't really care what happens to him now.
00:25:48Been an interesting number of years for the Miz in the Royal Rumble match.
00:25:53There's the skull crushing finale to Sami Zayn.
00:25:57One year went for the dirty deeds.
00:25:59And remember Miz and Ambrose had that lumberjack match at SmackDown Live this past Tuesday night.
00:26:04Oh, what a clothesline.
00:26:06A lot of bad blood between the Miz and Ambrose.
00:26:08You know it may-
00:26:09Ambrose still in it, dangling.
00:26:12But survives for now.
00:26:14You know what?
00:26:15You know Miz would love to be the one to be able to say
00:26:18he eliminated Dean Ambrose in the Royal Rumble match.
00:26:20You know, one year, Corey, Miz was eliminated by The Great Khali.
00:26:24Another year, he was eliminated king by Hornswoggle.
00:26:28How embarrassing.
00:26:28You never live that down.
00:26:30And Miz-
00:26:31Uh-oh!
00:26:31Oh, man!
00:26:32Deep six.
00:26:33Deep six from Corbin.
00:26:37Corbin using Miz's own momentum against him.
00:26:39And a little extra mustard on that, huh?
00:26:42Lucky for Miz, there were nobody standing up to throw him out at that point.
00:26:44And now Kofi Kingston.
00:26:47Oh!
00:26:49Kingston unceremoniously dumped.
00:26:50Yeah, this Corbin, he's something special.
00:26:52He is impressive.
00:26:54Baron Corbin has a chip on his shoulder as big as the state of Texas.
00:27:00Oh!
00:27:00Kofi still fighting back.
00:27:02It's really risky to go up to the top rope in this Royal Rumble match.
00:27:06Yeah, it doesn't take much to knock you right out into the ringside area.
00:27:12What's he doing?
00:27:12What's Kofi doing?
00:27:13I don't know, but he's gonna get down from there,
00:27:14because Baron Corbin's got his sights set on Kofi Kingston.
00:27:16Oh, my God!
00:27:17Oh, my God!
00:27:18Kofi!
00:27:19Oh.
00:27:20Kofi Kingston about impaled himself on the ring post.
00:27:22But he still was able to hang on somehow.
00:27:25How on earth?
00:27:26And now Kofi, trouble in paradise!
00:27:30It looked like it fired Kofi up.
00:27:32It would have knocked me out.
00:27:33I can't believe Kofi doesn't have a few broken ribs after
00:27:37spilling down onto the top of the ring post like that.
00:27:39My God!
00:27:40Entry number 16 is next.
00:27:52Oh, and this guy's gonna be in a mood.
00:27:54Sheamus and Cesaro lost to tag team titles earlier tonight
00:27:59on the kickoff show to Anderson and Gallows.
00:28:01And you know he's about to take it out on somebody.
00:28:04Corey, here's a man who in 2012 won the Royal Rumble match from the 22 position.
00:28:11The look in Sheamus' eyes, he thinks he's gonna do it again tonight.
00:28:14What a way to redeem the evening.
00:28:16Yeah, you lost your tag team championship, but you could still headline WrestleMania.
00:28:20How good has Sheamus been in the Royal Rumble matchup?
00:28:24Only Sheamus and Randy Orton have been in four or more final fours
00:28:30in the Rumble match over the past decade.
00:28:32That's how good Sheamus has been in this match.
00:28:34Celtic Warrior laying waste to everything moving inside the ring.
00:28:38Yes, he is.
00:28:40I don't blame you, I'd run too, Miz.
00:28:43Oh, no.
00:28:4610 feet to the battery.
00:28:51The A-lister feeling it.
00:28:55Gonna need some of that Hollywood kick.
00:29:00And look at Kofi once again.
00:29:01Yeah, what's, what's, what's this face?
00:29:04Look at this.
00:29:04Oh!
00:29:05Obviously, somehow Kofi was able to minimize the impact on the ring post.
00:29:11But I don't know how.
00:29:12Incredible, incredible athleticism being able to maintain.
00:29:16Look at Sheamus, guys.
00:29:17Looking to eliminate Sheamus, the Celtic Warrior in trouble.
00:29:22Ambrose and Sami Zayn, Sheamus just trying to hang on, fighting back.
00:29:27Jericho is out cold on that pro kick.
00:29:30Meanwhile, Kofi looking to eliminate Baron Corbin
00:29:32as we now look at number 17.
00:29:353, 2, 1.
00:29:41All set and toned!
00:29:45Don't you dare be showered!
00:29:48Clap for your longest reigning tag champs and feel the power!
00:29:56It's a new day, yes it is.
00:29:59And it's the second New Day member to enter this matchup.
00:30:01It's the third Rumble for Big E.
00:30:05It's going to be interesting to see now how Big E and Kofi Kingston
00:30:10play in this Royal Rumble match.
00:30:11Kate, do you think they're going to work together as a team?
00:30:13They got to.
00:30:14They have to.
00:30:15I mean, you know, they're going to have to work together if they want to get anything done.
00:30:18And then maybe if it wound up down to them two being the last two,
00:30:22then they'll go against each other.
00:30:23But until then, they got to work together.
00:30:25Big E going right for the abdominal stretch early on.
00:30:28It is.
00:30:28Unusual strategy by Big E.
00:30:32Big E's not taking this Royal Rumble as seriously as he should.
00:30:37I think he is.
00:30:38I think he's just having fun with the 52,020 WWE fans on hand here tonight at the Alamo Dome.
00:30:44Did you say 52,020?
00:30:4650,020.
00:30:4850,020?
00:30:49No, 52,020.
00:30:50You're getting me confused now, King.
00:30:52I was right the first or second time.
00:30:55Sheamus and Corbin.
00:30:56Look at New Day working together.
00:30:57Told you.
00:30:59Ambrose and Sami Zayn.
00:31:02Take a look in the corner.
00:31:03The matchup of Baron Corbin and Sheamus.
00:31:06Two big, rugged superstars throwing down Sheamus.
00:31:09Sami lands on the apron.
00:31:11Sheamus in control right now, but this is what's great about the Royal Rumble match.
00:31:15You see matchups and collisions you never thought you'd see.
00:31:19And we are now awaiting number 18.
00:31:29Who's it gonna be?
00:31:36Things are gonna change now.
00:31:41Rusev suffered a broken nose last week on Monday Night Raw.
00:31:45On the receiving end of a Kofi Kingston crossbody.
00:31:49You know Rusev hasn't forgotten.
00:31:52Coming in, of course, by Lana, his wife, Rusev.
00:31:55Entering his fourth Rumble.
00:31:57Last year he entered number two.
00:31:59This guy is massive.
00:32:01And Rusev, oh look it, going right after Miz and now right after Dean Ambrose.
00:32:05Super athlete living up to the moniker.
00:32:07Look at the speed.
00:32:09Just taking out a whole pile in the corner.
00:32:11Going after anything that moves.
00:32:13Watch it.
00:32:14Rusev, that spin kick caught Sheamus.
00:32:19Remember, these guys used to be buddies.
00:32:21The League of Nations.
00:32:23I don't think Bulgarian Brood has any buddies tonight.
00:32:26It's truly friend versus friend, foe versus foe.
00:32:30Every man for himself.
00:32:31Dunk lands on the apron, still in it.
00:32:33And Rusev not paying total attention here.
00:32:35He's not finishing the job.
00:32:37He starts.
00:32:38Gotta make sure once you throw somebody over that top, their feet hit the floor.
00:32:47Ring beginning to fill up with WWE superstars.
00:32:51Starting to get crowded, King.
00:32:52Yes it is.
00:32:53What an uppercut by the Celtic Warrior.
00:32:56Don't mess up the A-lister's dental work, Sheamus.
00:33:02Rusev bounced around the ring tonight, but he's still in it.
00:33:04Sheamus now.
00:33:05Watch out.
00:33:06Oh, what a running knee.
00:33:08Harley Race, be proud.
00:33:11I love it when they get this many superstars in there.
00:33:14Chaos, panic, disorder.
00:33:16And here comes number 19, Sheamus' tag team partner, Cesaro,
00:33:20again losing their tag team titles earlier tonight.
00:33:23He should be in a foul mood as well.
00:33:26I'm sure Sheamus is probably as excited as anybody to hear this music.
00:33:29But we also know that if it comes down to it,
00:33:32Sheamus and Cesaro will be hitting each other all day.
00:33:34Watch out.
00:33:37Again.
00:33:38Cesaro going for the swing.
00:33:39And she's got it.
00:33:40She's got it.
00:33:40She's got it.
00:33:41She's got it.
00:33:41She's got it.
00:33:42She's got it.
00:33:42She's got it.
00:33:43She's got it.
00:33:43She's got it.
00:33:44She's got it.
00:33:44She's got it.
00:33:46Just keep swinging.
00:33:47Use them as a weapon.
00:33:49These guys down.
00:33:52Oh, no.
00:33:55Ambrose is already dizzy.
00:34:01Look at everybody in the rumble match going swinging.
00:34:05And number 19, where Cesaro entered,
00:34:07been a great number in the last couple of years.
00:34:09No way.
00:34:09No way.
00:34:11Reigns, 2015, winning from that spot.
00:34:14All that spinning finally got to Cesaro.
00:34:17He may be a Swiss Superman, but maybe I spoke too soon.
00:34:22What?
00:34:25Baron Corbin is a monster of a man.
00:34:32It's your partner.
00:34:34It's every man for himself, Cesaro.
00:34:36Go for it.
00:34:39This is the universe.
00:34:41Rusev, through some careful strategy,
00:34:44was the last man standing at the moment.
00:34:46The only man standing.
00:34:47Rusev looking to eliminate Cesaro.
00:34:56Well, Dean Ambrose in a lot of trouble here.
00:35:01I couldn't really tell if he went over the top or through the second rope.
00:35:06And here comes number 20.
00:35:08Yes!
00:35:10Yes!
00:35:12Well, you got to know now it's Xavier Woods, third member of the New Day.
00:35:17Guys, this should give the New Day a tremendous advantage here.
00:35:22All three members in the Royal Rumble match at the same time.
00:35:26And Xavier Woods' very first Royal Rumble match.
00:35:29I don't know, King.
00:35:30We always hear the New Day talk about their unbreakable bond with one another.
00:35:33I think, oh!
00:35:35I think this may be the night.
00:35:37This may be the situation that destroys the New Day.
00:35:40At least I hope.
00:35:42Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods having their way with Sheamus.
00:35:48Rapid-fire assault from Kofi and Woods.
00:35:51But that's good strategy.
00:35:52That's the way they got to work.
00:35:53Don't forget, Sheamus and Cesaro just lost to New Day,
00:35:55their record-setting tag team title reign.
00:35:58Big E, big splash!
00:36:02It looks like New Day certainly hadn't forgotten it.
00:36:06Now Cesaro.
00:36:07Cesaro trying to eliminate Big E.
00:36:10Big E on the apron, hanging on.
00:36:14Corbin and Rusev still trading rights and lefts in the corner.
00:36:23Whoa!
00:36:23Now Xavier, still in it, lands on the apron.
00:36:26Kofi Kingston launched onto the shoulders of Xavier Woods, who saved his buddy.
00:36:31Passes him back to Miz.
00:36:32Kofi apron, other side.
00:36:35Dangerous situation for Kofi and Xavier Woods out there.
00:36:38Oh, Miz is in trouble now.
00:36:40Oh!
00:36:41Oh, man!
00:36:42Into a pair of New Day boots.
00:36:43Triple team.
00:36:45Number 21 on his way.
00:36:48Miz almost eliminated.
00:36:49He's still hanging on.
00:36:52Oh, what a number cut.
00:37:02You know what this means.
00:37:08Bray Wyatt, the patriarch of the Wyatt family.
00:37:11And you have to wonder if all this internal strike within the Wyatt family over the past
00:37:15few weeks is going to bother Bray Wyatt here tonight as he enters the Royal Rumble match.
00:37:20Are you kidding me?
00:37:21It's probably helped prepare Bray Wyatt better than any other superstar.
00:37:25Turmoil in the Wyatt family.
00:37:28Bray Wyatt's only concerned with one person right now, and it's himself.
00:37:32And that's how it needs to be to win the Royal Rumble match.
00:37:34Bray Wyatt's third Royal Rumble match.
00:37:36He lasted 46 minutes and eliminated seven men two years ago.
00:37:41Yeah, but it's not often.
00:37:43Look at all the fireflies in the San Antonio Alamo Dome.
00:37:47Well, Bray Wyatt's going to need that support because it's not often that you see him
00:37:50going alone, going in there on his own without a Wyatt family member.
00:37:55Oh!
00:37:57Oh!
00:37:57Oh!
00:37:58Man.
00:37:59You're a naggy planty.
00:38:02This has been taking a tremendous amount.
00:38:04Oh!
00:38:05Look out.
00:38:05Bray Wyatt is so fast for a man his size.
00:38:09And now Rusev trying to confront Bray Wyatt.
00:38:11Bray Wyatt going after just about anybody in his path.
00:38:16This Bray Wyatt is so creepy.
00:38:17Yeah, remember the issue between Xavier Woods and Bray Wyatt months ago?
00:38:22The issue is that Xavier Woods is completely terrified of Bray Wyatt on every level.
00:38:26And Xavier Woods looking to put that fear behind him as he runs in.
00:38:29Uh-oh.
00:38:29Sister Abigail time.
00:38:31Xavier Woods spins out of it.
00:38:36Oh, man.
00:38:37What a clothesline.
00:38:40Just stay away from him, Xavier.
00:38:42I think right now Woods is wishing he stayed in the back and played his video game channel.
00:38:46Yeah, Bray Wyatt has been dominating SmackDown Live with Randy Orton and Luke Harper.
00:38:53New Day and Cesaro and Sheamus.
00:38:55Again, the history between them we've talked about.
00:39:00Hope he went over the top rope, but he's still on the apron.
00:39:03Sheamus and Cesaro throwing hands with New Day.
00:39:06Woods and Kofi in a precarious position right now.
00:39:09And with number 22 on his way.
00:39:20Here comes Apollo Crews from SmackDown Live.
00:39:23His very first Royal Rumble match.
00:39:25And here's a Kid Corey with all the tools.
00:39:28I couldn't agree with you anymore.
00:39:30Apollo Crews, insanely strong, fast, agile.
00:39:35You're right.
00:39:36All of the tools.
00:39:37A big win in the Royal Rumble match would do wonders for his career.
00:39:41He's going to need to use every bit of that speed and agility.
00:39:44Because this ring is full of superstars that all want to win this Royal Rumble match.
00:39:48And Bray Wyatt kicked in the midsection.
00:39:50Slows the momentum of Apollo Crews.
00:39:51Dean Ambrose goes after Bray.
00:39:53They've had a long history.
00:39:55Because it is really crowded in there now, isn't it?
00:39:57And still on the apron, Xavier and Kofi.
00:40:00Still hanging in there.
00:40:01Big E trying to prevent his teammates from being eliminated.
00:40:04Dragging both Xavier and Kofi back in.
00:40:08What?
00:40:09And now Sheamus and Cesaro eliminated all three members of the New Day.
00:40:13Man, oh man.
00:40:17Look at this.
00:40:18Look at this.
00:40:19And now Sheamus, Cesaro, eliminated by Jericho.
00:40:24Oh my gosh.
00:40:26Look how proud Jericho is of himself.
00:40:29Look at these two, look at these two.
00:40:32Trying to eliminate one another.
00:40:34It was only a matter of time.
00:40:36It's every man for himself.
00:40:38Fran versus Fran, foe versus foe.
00:40:42Yeah, I don't know if Sheamus is going to have much luck trying to explain that to Cesaro.
00:40:52And as Sheamus and Cesaro continue to go face to face,
00:40:57you think we've seen the last of that tag team?
00:40:59Look for number 23.
00:41:08And here's the man who won the 2009 Royal Rumble match, Randy Orton.
00:41:15Out of nowhere.
00:41:16This is his eighth Rumble.
00:41:18He's eliminated 19 men over the years.
00:41:23Hey, Corey, what's interesting about the number 23 position?
00:41:26There have been three winners from this spot over the years.
00:41:30All right, I'm picking Randy Orton.
00:41:32That's my pick.
00:41:33It's hard to bet against Randy Orton.
00:41:36Especially coming in at number 23.
00:41:37Randy Orton, who had to go face to face with his Wyatt family brother, Luke Harper,
00:41:42this past Tuesday night.
00:41:43Smackdown Live, and ended up with Harper running into a Sister Abigail by Bray Wyatt.
00:41:47Now Bray and Corbin.
00:41:48Oh, RKO!
00:41:50Out of nowhere.
00:41:53Look out!
00:41:53RKO!
00:41:54Rusev may have just had his nose rebroken.
00:42:03Sami Zayn from the second row, top rope.
00:42:05RKO!
00:42:07Ditch Randy Orton!
00:42:09That was a thing of beauty right there.
00:42:12Sami Zayn, now you need some new teeth.
00:42:14And you see Chris Jericho in the corner watching the Wyatt family pose.
00:42:18Chris Jericho's been in this Royal Rumble match over 42 minutes.
00:42:22He started at number two.
00:42:24This is an alliance I'm afraid of.
00:42:26Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton together, working as a cohesive unit within the Royal Rumble match.
00:42:33Could change the entire complexion of the WWE.
00:42:36Yes, it can.
00:42:38Lambro's in trouble.
00:42:39Lambro's down.
00:42:44Number 24 coming next.
00:42:55From SmackDown Live, Dolph Ziggler who has a very different attitude as of late as you can attest to, King.
00:43:06Yeah, right.
00:43:09I like it, King.
00:43:10I think Dolph Ziggler's new attitude's exactly what he needs.
00:43:14Dolph Ziggler kicked King in the stomach a couple of weeks ago on SmackDown Live,
00:43:18part of King's Corp.
00:43:19Ziggler now with super kicks around.
00:43:21This is a Dolph Ziggler's ninth Royal Rumble match.
00:43:26For Rusev's face.
00:43:29Oh, man.
00:43:30Double DDT.
00:43:34Well, he can change his attitude all he wants to.
00:43:38He's gonna have to go a long way to prove to me that he's gonna be anything other than
00:43:41what he's been for the past few months here.
00:43:44That's a loser.
00:43:44What if he wins the Royal Rumble match tonight?
00:43:47Okay, I'll eat my words.
00:43:49Miz, still alive, on the apron.
00:43:52Now Dean and Dolph going at one another.
00:43:55Jericho goes after Miz.
00:43:58Uh-oh, Dean looking to eliminate Dolph Ziggler.
00:44:00Dolph, top rope.
00:44:04Can I be excused for a minute?
00:44:06Maybe go up there and grab his feet.
00:44:08You did do that one, yeah?
00:44:13Look at Jericho.
00:44:18And we now look for number 25 to enter the fray.
00:44:21Randy Orton working over Baron Corbin in the corner over there and down there.
00:44:24Baron Corbin coming back with those big right hands.
00:44:36And the third member of the Wyatt family.
00:44:40I guess he's still part of the Wyatt family.
00:44:42Luke Harper, although he suffered a Sister Abigail at the hands of Bray Wyatt last Tuesday
00:44:47night after losing to Randy Orton.
00:44:49I think it's safe to say Luke Harper probably isn't in the best graces
00:44:52of Bray Wyatt right now.
00:44:54But what a way to get back in with the family to win the Royal Rumble match.
00:44:59Luke Harper.
00:45:02Luke paid absolutely no attention to Randy.
00:45:03None at all.
00:45:04Harper going right to work on Apollo Crews.
00:45:12Apollo sent over the-
00:45:13He ran down.
00:45:14Uh-oh.
00:45:14Oh, and he's eliminated.
00:45:15Harper eliminates Crews.
00:45:16And now-
00:45:17Here we go.
00:45:19Locks eyes with the Viper.
00:45:25And Bray Wyatt trying to play peacekeeper.
00:45:30You talked about the combination of the Viper and Bray Wyatt together.
00:45:34Imagine if all three of those worked as a cohesive unit.
00:45:38Oh, no!
00:45:39What?
00:45:40What did he do?
00:45:41Harper with that lariat to Bray Wyatt.
00:45:45And now a boot to Orton.
00:45:47Luke Harper said enough's enough.
00:45:50If Harper just lost his mind is what happened,
00:45:53why on earth would you turn your back on your family?
00:45:59Perhaps he thought his family turned his back on him this past Tuesday night.
00:46:06I just still can't believe what we just witnessed.
00:46:08Oh, my God, no.
00:46:09Look it.
00:46:10Look it.
00:46:10He's gonna go Sister Abigail on Bray Wyatt.
00:46:13He's going for Sister Abigail on Bray Wyatt.
00:46:16And now look at that!
00:46:17KO!
00:46:19Orton saving Bray Wyatt.
00:46:22I still can't believe what we are about to witness.
00:46:26I still-
00:46:27I think we're seeing the complete implosion of the Wyatt family.
00:46:31Or at least one third of it.
00:46:34Number 26 coming.
00:46:46Game over.
00:46:47Batten down the hatches.
00:46:51The man who has humiliated at Survivor Series.
00:46:55In a minute, 26 by Goldberg.
00:46:59Brock Lesnar, the beast, is coming to feast.
00:47:05The Conqueror has arrived.
00:47:09Did I tell you guys this is my pick to win the Royal Rumble match?
00:47:12Oh, Brock Lesnar.
00:47:13Lesnar enters his third Rumble.
00:47:15He won in 2003.
00:47:18You and me both, King.
00:47:20Brock Lesnar's been my pick for a while now.
00:47:22We'll split the pot.
00:47:23How's that sound?
00:47:24I love it.
00:47:26Lesnar, one of nine men to win in his first Royal Rumble appearance.
00:47:30Goes right after Dean Ambrose.
00:47:32Ambrose eliminated by Lesnar.
00:47:34Look at this.
00:47:35Look at this.
00:47:36Ambrose eliminated by Lesnar.
00:47:40Look at-
00:47:41Gentlemen, Suplex.
00:47:42Welcome to Suplex City.
00:47:44Eat.
00:47:45Sleep. Eliminate.
00:47:46Repeat.
00:47:48We heard the advocate call the shots.
00:47:51The beast in carnage is delivering.
00:47:53Oh, no.
00:47:54Oh, no.
00:47:54F5.
00:47:57Randy Orton.
00:48:01F5.
00:48:04Lesnar has left carnage in his wake.
00:48:08Is anyone left standing other than Lesnar?
00:48:16Eat.
00:48:18Sleep.
00:48:19Eliminate.
00:48:20Repeat.
00:48:22I think now all Brock has to do is just start tossing him over the top.
00:48:29Number 27.
00:48:31The luckiest number in the field.
00:48:33Four winners over the years from this spot.
00:48:36Who hasn't?
00:48:41Wait a minute, King.
00:48:43What?
00:48:44I think I know what this means.
00:48:45Oh, my God, Corey.
00:48:46You can get your wish.
00:48:47Oh, my God.
00:48:48This may be the greatest moment of my life.
00:48:53This idiot Enzo Amore is gonna have to go face to face with the beast incarnate Brock Lesnar.
00:49:03Just turn around and go back to the locker room.
00:49:05No, keep running, Enzo.
00:49:07Keep running straight ahead into the storm.
00:49:12I am begging you, Enzo.
00:49:15Lesnar with a big old smirk on his face.
00:49:24Put your shirt back on and go home, Enzo.
00:49:28Or just use it as a blindfold because you're about to be in front of a firing squad.
00:49:33Oh, my goodness.
00:49:36Lesnar turning Enzo inside out.
00:49:40Oh.
00:49:42He's history already.
00:49:43That didn't take long.
00:49:45And Enzo eliminated by Lesnar.
00:49:49Now we await number 28 as Brock Lesnar continues the destruction.
00:49:55Oh.
00:49:59Let me just tell you, Enzo is lucky that his hand is still attached to his shoulders.
00:50:03Did you see how far and how hard he just sent Jericho?
00:50:08Suplex City has come to San Antonio.
00:50:12Oh.
00:50:15Number 28, Scott, that's coming up is a rather historic for Batista.
00:50:19Twice Batista won from number 28.
00:50:26I have it on good authority that the same people that banned Ozzy Osbourne
00:50:29from San Antonio just banned Enzo.
00:50:35Oh, yeah.
00:50:38This is it.
00:50:39Lesnar's waited.
00:50:40Survivor Series for this moment.
00:51:01He's found he has one more championship.
00:51:05In order to have that opportunity, he's got to win this match.
00:51:08The Royal Rumble match.
00:51:10Here comes Goldberg.
00:51:11Brock Lesnar's waiting for it.
00:51:13What a moment this is.
00:51:15Oh, my gosh.
00:51:16A hair standing up on the back of my neck.
00:51:19This is unbelievable.
00:51:21Listen, there's not much in this world for sure.
00:51:23And remember, Goldberg is the man who's humiliated,
00:51:26who embarrassed Brock Lesnar in a minute 26 at Survivor Series.
00:51:32Lesnar's been chopping at the bit.
00:51:33He's been waiting for this moment face to face.
00:51:36Lesnar and Goldberg here at the Rumble.
00:51:43And here they go.
00:51:44And Goldberg.
00:51:47Just like at Survivor Series, Goldberg has stunned Lesnar.
00:51:51He stunned him with a spear.
00:51:53Goldberg stunned Lesnar again.
00:51:55And Lesnar's eliminated.
00:51:57Lesnar's eliminated.
00:51:58Goldberg's eliminated Lesnar.
00:52:00Oh, my God, no.
00:52:02Goldberg's got Lesnar's number.
00:52:05Goldberg's eliminated Lesnar.
00:52:07How on earth did that just happen?
00:52:10We'll remember this Rumble all night, all right.
00:52:15I was about to say- I still can't believe it.
00:52:17Nothing in the world's for sure.
00:52:18But I can guarantee you that history won't repeat itself.
00:52:21I couldn't have been more wrong.
00:52:23Now Goldberg blasting Corbin and Rusev as well.
00:52:26But guys, the spear.
00:52:28Again, Lesnar got caught by that spear right when they went face to face.
00:52:33It stunned him.
00:52:34It shocked him.
00:52:35And it allowed Goldberg to eliminate Brock.
00:52:37It stunned the world and shocked the world.
00:52:39What is Sami Zayn thinking about?
00:52:43Retirement.
00:52:45Jackhammer.
00:52:49And now Bray and Randy trying to double team.
00:52:51This is interesting.
00:52:53The Wyatt Family ganging up on Goldberg.
00:52:56And Wyatt looking to eliminate Goldberg.
00:53:03Stop this magical run.
00:53:0652,000 people.
00:53:07Goldberg double spear.
00:53:1052,000 people are stunned.
00:53:12They're in shock right now.
00:53:13I'm stunned.
00:53:14I couldn't believe it could happen again.
00:53:16It happened once in Survivor Series.
00:53:18I get it.
00:53:18Surprise factor.
00:53:19But again tonight?
00:53:21And now number 29.
00:53:264, 3, 2, 1.
00:53:36Oh, my God.
00:53:37For the Phenom.
00:53:40The man who won in 2007.
00:53:57I hate to wear that.
00:54:04Tanger's in the ring.
00:54:05Oh, my God.
00:54:05Under Tanger's in the ring.
00:54:07Goldberg feels the presence.
00:54:15This is a moment.
00:54:22Tanger's got Goldberg.
00:54:24Wait a minute.
00:54:24Corbin and Rusev breaking things up.
00:54:29So we know Baron Corbin wants to make a name for himself.
00:54:31What better way to do it than to take the Undertaker out of the Royal Rumble match?
00:54:35Corbin's already out.
00:54:37Goldberg just eliminated Rusev.
00:54:40And now Baron Corbin.
00:54:42Eliminated by Undertaker.
00:54:43Look out, Baron.
00:54:45Goldberg with a spear to the Undertaker.
00:54:48Flooring the Phenom.
00:54:49And now Luke Harper.
00:54:51Eliminated by Goldberg.
00:54:52Tanger's back up.
00:54:54Undertaker's back up.
00:54:55Undertaker eliminates Goldberg.
00:54:57Undertaker eliminated Goldberg.
00:55:00My gosh.
00:55:00Goldberg's dream to win the Royal Rumble match is over.
00:55:09Here comes The Miz not wasting any time bringing the fight to The Undertaker.
00:55:13One more match still to enter.
00:55:15Sami Zayn and Miz double teaming Undertaker.
00:55:17Come on, Undertaker.
00:55:18The big old haymaker.
00:55:19Come on, Undertaker.
00:55:21The Undertaker.
00:55:22He's my pick.
00:55:23I'm picking The Undertaker.
00:55:24Right hand.
00:55:2911 Rumbles for Undertaker.
00:55:35This has been amazing.
00:55:41Good night, Miz.
00:55:42Chokeslam.
00:55:45Undertaker.
00:55:47And Phenom for him tonight.
00:55:52And it's appropriate that WrestleMania signs in the background like a halo on the Undertaker's
00:55:57head.
00:55:59You know from the past, Bray Wyatt has challenged the dead man.
00:56:02Hey, guys.
00:56:03Come out on the wrong end of it.
00:56:05There's one more entrant.
00:56:06Number 30.
00:56:08The big dog is gonna hunt.
00:56:19The man who won the 2015 Royal Rumble match.
00:56:24The man who holds the record with 12 eliminations in 2014.
00:56:30And the man who was attacked and ambushed by Braun Strowman earlier tonight costing him
00:56:35the Universal Championship.
00:56:36I understand why Roman Reigns would want to enter the Royal Rumble match.
00:56:40But after what Roman suffered earlier tonight, to go head on with the dead man, to go head
00:56:46on with Randy Orton, with Bray Wyatt, is absolutely a terrible idea by Roman.
00:56:53Yeah, but he has no choice now.
00:56:58And Roman Reigns with his eyes set on the man standing in the ring, The Undertaker.
00:57:04I think the big dog just realized whose yard this actually is.
00:57:27Oh!
00:57:28I'm on a right by Undertaker.
00:57:29And Roman with one of his own.
00:57:31And Reigns and Undertaker.
00:57:32Both men wanting to win the Royal Rumble match.
00:57:34Both men wanting to main event WrestleMania.
00:57:36Both men throwing bombs and haymakers at each other right now.
00:57:40I don't know where Reigns is getting the power behind those rights, but they were rocking
00:57:44the table for a minute.
00:57:45Roman Reigns ran into a clothesline from the dead man.
00:57:53Zayn, Bray Wyatt.
00:57:54Oh, look out.
00:57:55Orton, Jericho, Reigns, Undertaker still in this thing along with Miz.
00:57:59He's got, nope.
00:58:00Out of the way.
00:58:01Watch it!
00:58:02Superman punch.
00:58:04Undertaker is rocked.
00:58:06He's rocked.
00:58:07Oh!
00:58:07Undertaker caught Roman Reigns.
00:58:10What was that, King?
00:58:11Well, there he goes.
00:58:12Chokeslam.
00:58:15Orton looking for the RKO.
00:58:18Bray Wyatt now trying to get Undertaker from behind.
00:58:20And Undertaker taking out Wyatt.
00:58:22Everybody focusing now on the dead man.
00:58:24Taker has literally been able to stand in the center of the ring and
00:58:27fight off everything that has come his way.
00:58:29This is so impressive.
00:58:30Miz is eliminated by The Undertaker.
00:58:33Sami Zayn eliminated by The Undertaker.
00:58:40Chris Jericho now 59 minutes deep into this Rumble match.
00:58:44An incredible performance by Chris Jericho.
00:58:48Roman Reigns almost eliminated-
00:58:49Chris Jericho might not make the full hour.
00:58:53Undertaker, chokeslam to Jericho.
00:59:01Oh, this-
00:59:03Spells done.
00:59:03Oh, no, wait, Reigns!
00:59:05Reigns!
00:59:05Reigns eliminated The Undertaker!
00:59:07Roman Reigns eliminated The Undertaker!
00:59:11What?
00:59:27Roman Reigns just said to The Undertaker,
00:59:30this is my yard now.
00:59:36We are down to four men.
00:59:38I don't know about you, Corey, but that look in the eyes of The Undertaker
00:59:42said this might not be over.
00:59:44We are down to Roman Reigns.
00:59:46I'm gonna go, I'm gonna say, I'm picking Roman Reigns.
00:59:49I'm gonna change my pick.
00:59:50The fact that Roman Reigns had the guts to eliminate The Undertaker and
00:59:54then claim the ring for his yard, that's my guy.
00:59:56We are down to four.
00:59:58Reigns, Jericho, Bray Wyatt, and Randy Orton.
01:00:01Chris Jericho has lasted over an hour so far in this Royal Rumble match.
01:00:10Roman Reigns, something happened to him tonight, Corey,
01:00:13when Braun Strowman took Roman Reigns out in that Universal Championship match.
01:00:18Don't forget about the long history between Reigns and Jericho.
01:00:21Jericho took Roman Reigns' United States Championship and
01:00:24maybe cost him the Universal title on multiple occasions.
01:00:26Superman Punch, there goes Jericho.
01:00:29We're down to three.
01:00:30Reigns, Wyatt, Orton.
01:00:34One of these three men's going to WrestleMania.
01:00:36Two of these three men are members of the Wyatt family.
01:00:39And Orton and Bray Wyatt team up against Roman Reigns and
01:00:43then decide amongst themselves who's going to WrestleMania.
01:00:47High drama in the Alamo Dome.
01:00:50It looks like Bray Wyatt likes these odds.
01:00:53It's not often you see the big dog outnumbered and hunted.
01:00:57Here they go.
01:00:57And Wyatt and Orton now ganging up on Roman Reigns,
01:01:00just like you would expect it to play out.
01:01:05Roman underneath the bottom rope.
01:01:07Remember, you got to go over the top.
01:01:08Both feet have to hit the floor to be eliminated.
01:01:16Randy looking back at Bray Wyatt for some instruction.
01:01:23Oh, boy.
01:01:24Randy Orton putting Roman Reigns in the position.
01:01:26Off the second rope.
01:01:27DDT.
01:01:29Lance Reigns.
01:01:35Bray Wyatt is giddy.
01:01:37Yeah, because he knows this could be his time.
01:01:40This could be his moment.
01:01:41Bray Wyatt looking to eliminate Roman Reigns.
01:01:45Take him out of the picture.
01:01:46But first, some Sister Abigail.
01:01:49Perhaps into the RKO.
01:01:51Wyatt family setting up for the double team.
01:01:53Oh, could not connect.
01:01:56Pushed in, however.
01:01:57And another one.
01:01:59Roman Reigns is on fire right now.
01:02:01Look at those Bray Wyatts.
01:02:03Bray Wyatt's eliminated.
01:02:03We are down to Reigns and Orton.
01:02:05We are down to Reigns and Orton.
01:02:07Reigns is going to do it.
01:02:10Will Roman Reigns win the Rumble match for the second time in three years?
01:02:14I knew it all along.
01:02:15Roman Reigns is going to-
01:02:17RKO.
01:02:19RKO by Randy Orton.
01:02:21Randy Orton wins the Rumble.
01:02:23Randy Orton's going to WrestleMania.
01:02:27Here is your winner, Randy Orton.
01:02:33The Viper strikes WrestleMania paydirt.
01:02:39This is a Randy Orton reverse.
01:02:43Amazing.
01:02:45Randy Orton becomes the seventh man to win two or more Rumbles.
