Tonight is the night time.
The Royal Rumble is one in all two exhibits a yr (with WrestleMania, in fact) that everybody pays consideration to, regardless of how a lot of the WWE product they watch throughout the remainder of the yr.
As ordinary, there’s hypothesis in all places. This individual is making their return to be a participant in a Rumble match. That individual is likely to be making their return. Then there’s these individuals, these individuals, and this wild card. What number of of them will we find yourself seeing? That’s the enjoyable on this present, people.
Are you prepared?
As a result of I’m prepared.
In the event you’re prepared, and if I’m prepared, then I believe there’s only one factor left to do, so say it with me…
LESS DEW EET!!!
(0:00) As at all times, the top of the pre-show is the place we get the announcement of what match is beginning issues off throughout the principle present. It was rumored that Brock Lesnar vs Bobby Lashley was going to go on first, however as an alternative, it will likely be the opposite males’s World Title, with Roman Reigns vs Seth Rollins being the opener. Fuck sure.
(0:04) It seems to be like there are one million individuals packed into The Dome At America’s Middle in St. Louis, Missouri. WWE has already introduced “44,000” followers being there, however the actual quantity is nearer to 39,300. As of an hour earlier than the present started, there was simply over 400 tickets remaining, so if this isn’t a promote out, it’s actually near it.
(0:06) Nonetheless seems to be bizarre to see Roman Reigns making his entrance with out Paul Heyman by his aspect. It’s made even weirder by not having The Usos there, both, as per the stipulation from Smackdown.
(0:09) AYO!!! Seth Rollins makes his entrance to the previous Defend music, carrying his previous Defend gear, and is coming to the ring by way of the group. The thoughts video games proceed. Stunning.
(0:12) Little bit of a blended response for Rollins throughout the pre-match introductions, but it surely was largely cheers. Reigns, then again, continues to get tremendous sturdy heel warmth, it doesn’t matter what and regardless of the place.
(0:14) Rollins is dominating the early portion of the match.
(0:15) As I publish that, Rollins springboards into the ring and eats a punch to the pie gap. There goes that.
(0:16) One-man Defend Powerbomb by way of the announce desk by Seth Rollins!
(0:18) Buckle Bomb right into a Stomp will get 2.99999 for Rollins. Holy shit, that one obtained the group.
(0:18) I like that Rollins is dressed like Defend Rollins, appearing like present day Rollins, and wrestling like a mixture of each Rollins period.
(0:22) Roman has a busted up left eye. Seems to be like he has a giant welt forming beneath it.
(0:24) A Spear try is countered right into a Pedigree by Rollins for an additional 2.99999 rely. These two are bringing it thus far!
(0:25) Rollins eats a Spear, then sells it by laughing, providing Reigns a Defend fist bump, and telling Reigns that he’ll at all times love him. Extra thoughts video games, but it surely seems to be working.
(0:27) Reigns locks the Guillotine Choke in, however Rollins makes the underside rope. The Champ refuses to let the maintain go, and Little Naitch is pressured to name for the bell, disqualifying Reigns. Thunderous boos are reigning down from an upset crowd. Wow. Not a fan of that ending, but it surely makes good sense. They’re clearly constructing to one thing larger, maybe a WrestleMania rematch. Possibly which means Rollins wins the Rumble, or possibly it means a Uncooked wrestler wins the Rumble and Rollins makes his method again into the title image.
(0:29) Reigns grabs a metal chair and re-enters the ring, completely canine strolling Rollins with the chair time and again and over and over.
(0:32) Enormous heel warmth on Reigns as he lastly leaves the ring after destroying the chair on the again and arms of Rollins. I’ll be switching again to giving star rankings to the matches dwell, to maintain with the sincere and rapid-fire really feel that these Operating Diaries are speculated to have. That was 4.25 STARS, however I wouldn’t be mad if you happen to needed to go slightly increased and provides it 4.5 as an alternative. I in all probability would’ve given it increased if it didn’t have a disqualification ending. Both method, it was a extremely good method to get the present began.
(0:36) It’s now time for the ladies’s Royal Rumble match! Let’s go!
(0:37) The newly returned Sasha Banks, cosplaying as Sailor Moon, attracts the #1 entrant. That look goes to be trending on Twitter, for certain. For. Positive.
(0:39) Beginning the match with Sasha is a returning Melina, full with the crimson carpet entrance and paparazzi snapping footage.
(0:41) Because the opening bell rings, Melina seems to be to have tears welling up in her eyes. She’s undoubtedly pleased to be again.
(0:41) Effectively… inside seconds, Sasha simply lifts Melina up and dumps her excessive rope. There’s the primary elimination.
(0:42) Tamina is the following entrant.
(0:44) Within the #4 spot, right here comes Kelly Kelly, wanting COMPLETELY totally different than she did when she was working for the corporate.
(0:46) Kelly Kelly is eradicated by Sasha. Okay then. Sasha apparently hates the previous.
(0:46) #5 is Aliyah, seeking to break all of the information tonight.
(0:48) #6 is Liv Morgan, one of many early favorites to win the match. She would make choose, if we’re being sincere.
(0:48) Liv goes to eradicate Sasha, however Tamina, like a fucking moron, assaults Liv and saves Sasha. What the fuck for?!?
(0:49) Queen Zelina is out within the #7 spot, wanting like a toddler going trick-or-treating as a Queen on Halloween. Significantly, she seems to be like she’s four-feet-tall.
(0:50) ZELINA ELIMINATES SASHA BANKS! Whoa. I didn’t see that coming, particularly this early on.
(0:51) Bianca Belair is the #8 entrant, seeking to win back-to-back Royal Rumbles.
(0:53) Coming into the match at #9 is the 24/7 Champion, Dana Brooke, accompanied to the ring by Reggie Reg Da Gawd. Dana goes to eradicate Aliyah instantly, however Zelina prevents it. Once more… what the fuck for?!? Can we not script Rumbles to have individuals wanting like idiots? There’s no cause by any means for somebody to forestall an elimination until it’s your tag associate, sibling, and so on.
(0:55) Michelle McCool is #10, and he or she instantly knocks Dana Brooke out of the ring, just for Reggie to catch Dana and put her again within the ring. It solely lasts for a number of seconds, although, and Dana will get eradicated, anyway.
(0:56) Sonya Deville, wanting like an evil Circus Ringmaster, is #11. Displaying her intelligence, she doesn’t even enter the ring, and joins the commentary staff.
(0:58) #12 is Natalya, who will in all probability fall brief as soon as once more.
(1:00) Natalya eliminates Tamina and rattling close to eliminates Bianca, earlier than The EST makes her method again into the ring.
(1:00) #13 is former Funkadactyl, Cameron, and similar to that, the workrate of this match has plunged off of a cliff.
(1:01) Sonya Deville apparently didn’t watch wrestling when Cameron was round, as a result of she appears shocked when commentary says that Cameron is Naomi’s pal and former tag associate. She will get upset, lastly enters the match, after which eliminates Cameron in fast vogue. Identical to that, the workrate is again from the useless.
(1:02) To the shock of no person, Naomi is out at #14 for a showdown with Sonya. Nevermind in regards to the workrate.
(1:03) Naomi and Sonya are brawling in the midst of the ring whereas everybody else kinda hangs out within the nook.
(1:03) Sonya Deville has been eradicated by Naomi. Thanks for being there, Sonya.
(1:04) Carmella is out at #15, and Corey Graves instantly squirts a nut in his skinny denims. Like Sonya Deville, Carmella doesn’t get within the ring instantly, as an alternative going over to flirt with Corey Graves.
(1:06) Within the #16 spot, we’ve got Rhea Ripley. Issues can lastly choose up now. The group has been respectable, however a ton of their total pleasure died when Sasha Banks was eradicated. Rhea grabs Carmella and tosses her into the ring, solely to be met by a double-team from Carmella and Zelina.
(1:07) There goes that. Carmella and Zelina are each eradicated by Rhea. Good. Let’s clear the ring up a bit.
(1:08) Charlotte Aptitude is within the #17 spot, seeking to win the Rumble because the Smackdown Ladies’s Champion in order that she will choose and select her personal WrestleMania opponent.
(1:09) Aliyah is eradicated by the fingers of Charlotte. Welp.
(1:10) The Naomi vs Sonya feud has to go on without end, as Sonya pulls Naomi off of the apron after Charlotte threw Naomi excessive rope. Naomi is eradicated.
(1:11) #18 is Ivory. Not simply any model of Ivory, by the best way. The Proper To Censor model of Ivory. She cuts a promo as she enters the ring, solely to get dumped out by Rhea Ripley. Hilariously, Ivory continued to chop the promo as she was picked up and dumped out.
(1:12) Brie Bella is out within the #19 spot, and it’s time for somebody to get injured! Inside seconds, she leads the group in “YES” chants. After all she does.
(1:14) Mickie James, full with the Influence Ladies’s Title, is #20. The on-screen graphics notice that she’s the Influence Ladies’s Champion, and he or she known as that by commentary, too. Wild stuff.
(1:16) Mickie eliminates Michelle McCool, lastly getting revenge for the “Piggie James” storyline.
(1:16) #21 is Alicia Fox. … WWE would possibly wish to enhance their ladies’s division in the event that they wish to do matches like this. Nearly half the match so far has been one-off returns from the previous, most of which get eradicated inside seconds.
(1:18) Nikki A.S.H. is within the #22 spot. She sneaks into the ring to assault Rhea Ripley, who calls her a “little twerp” as a result of that is apparently a 1980’s film.
(1:20) Summer time Rae is #23, additionally wanting fully totally different than she did when she was final employed by the corporate.
(1:21) Positive sufficient, Summer time Rae is eradicated in seconds.
(1:22) Nikki Bella is out at #24 to a giant pop from the group. Nikkiharu Bellasawa instantly begins throwing strikes as solely she will.
(1:23) Alicia Fox is eradicated by Nikki. Thanks for being right here.
(1:24) Sarah Logan is #25, virtually fully spilling out of her high. She higher watch out in there.
(1:25) Liv Morgan cries for the 4,853rd time on WWE programming, locking eyes with Sarah Logan, but it surely doesn’t final and Sarah is eradicated by The Bellas, who then eradicate Liv. The group isn’t pleased about that. Nikki places the “L” on her brow, as we’ve turned from an 80’s film to a 90’s film.
(1:26) Lita is #26 to an enormous face pop.
(1:27) Mickie James won’t be able to make historical past at WrestleMania as a result of she has been eradicated by Lita. We then get a face-to-face showdown between Lita and Charlotte. Fascinating.
(1:28) Mighty Molly is out within the #27 spot, and he or she will get attacked by Nikki A.S.H. earlier than she will even enter the ring! Ha! I adore it!
(1:29) As quickly as Molly formally enters the ring, she is tossed out by Nikki A.S.H. to maintain with the custom of pointless entries from the previous.
(1:29) RONDA ROUSEY IS BACK! She is the #28 entrant, and the group goes ballistic. The ladies within the ring all cease what they’re doing and watch her stroll down the aisle.
(1:31) Nikki A.S.H. is eradicated by Ronda. Brie Bella will get revenge on her sister by eliminating her.
(1:31) Shotzi is #29, popping out to virtually no crowd response. Ouch.
(1:32) Brie Bella is dumped out by Ronda Rousey. Sorry, Bryan.
(1:33) Shayna Baszler is #30, and he or she is met by an enormous smile from her pal and coaching associate, Ronda Rousey. See, now this might be enjoyable.
(1:34) Proper as Shayna and Ronda appear like they could sq. off, Charlotte assaults Shayna.
(1:35) Shotzi has been eradicated by Ronda, and Natalya will get eradicated by Bianca.
(1:35) Only for enjoyable, Natalya will get again within the ring, solely to be thrown out by Ronda this time. Cool beans.
(1:36) Lita is eradicated by Charlotte, and the group isn’t pleased.
(1:37) Rhea is eradicated by Charlotte. Our Closing 4… Bianca Belair, Charlotte Aptitude, Ronda Rousey, and Shayna Baszler. That’s fairly cool, really.
(1:39) As Shayna and Bianca fought one another on the ropes, Charlotte runs over and eliminates them each. We’re right down to Charlotte and Ronda. Right here. We. Motherfucking. Go.
(1:40) Or Charlotte might simply get dumped out seconds later. Ronda Rousey is the winner of the 2022 ladies’s Royal Rumble match! I discover it very, very tough to connect star rankings to Rumbles, battle royals, and so on. This one was undoubtedly enjoyable. I can’t deny that. As I mentioned, although, WWE must bolster their ladies’s division. Almost half of the rivals this yr are one-offs, which is gloomy.
(1:46) We go from one ladies’s match to a different, as it’s now time for Becky Lynch to defend the Uncooked Ladies’s Title in opposition to Doudrop.
(1:50) Becky will get extra heel warmth than I believed she would when she returned, however dwell crowds nonetheless wish to cheer for her.
(1:53) As if usually the case for matches that comply with a Royal Rumble, the group is fairly quiet right here. They spent plenty of vitality making noise for about an hour, so it is a little bit of a settle down for them, even with the tremendous standard Becky Lynch concerned right here.
(1:56) In response to followers in attendance, the shortage of crowd noise right here can also be because of the WrestleMania signal within the constructing actually being on hearth and raining sparks down under it. Feels like pyro hit the signal and started melting it. The signal is seemingly being eliminated, so plenty of the constructing is being attentive to that as an alternative of the match. That actually isn’t going to assist something.
(1:59) The truth that the match is transferring at a slower tempo isn’t serving to both lady’s case proper now.
(2:00) I really like the stat that claims Becky Lynch has been the Uncooked Ladies’s Champion for day by day that she has been an energetic competitor for nearly three years now. After successful the title at WrestleMania 35, she had a acknowledged reign of 398 days that solely got here to an finish as a result of she was pregnant. She was gone for over a year-and-a-half, then gained the title on her first night time again, holding it for the final three months now. That’s insane.
(2:03) Manhandle Slam from the center rope (!!!) will get the win for Becky. The match wasn’t unhealthy. It simply felt prefer it by no means kicked into one other gear. Would possibly as properly have been a match on Uncooked. I’ll go together with 2.75 STARS.
(2:07) Oh, boy… oh, boy… it’s time for Brock Lesnar vs Bobby Lashley for the WWE Championship.
(2:07) As an extra replace on the WrestleMania signal, it was lowered and totally extinguished earlier than being raised again as much as its unique placement once more. Thank God. I used to be nervous about what the boys’s Rumble winner was speculated to level to after he wins the match. We would’ve had an R-Reality second the place the winner doesn’t understand he’s speculated to go to WrestleMania and proclaims he’s heading to Starrcade as an alternative.
(2:13) As Lashley makes his entrance, he slaps fingers with a bunch of followers. That’s virtually bizarre to see.
(2:15) If that opening riff of Brock Lesnar’s entrance music (and the remainder of it, too) doesn’t get you pumped the fuck up, you’re already useless, and also you aren’t studying this, so I don’t know who I’m aiming this at.
(2:18) Opening bell. The clock is ticking. There’s no method this match lasts very lengthy.
(2:20) Brock hits Lashley with a German Suplex, after which Lashley will get his revenge by hitting one in all his personal on Brock. It appears to impress Brock, who smiles and nods his head. This isn’t as fast-paced as plenty of latest Lesnar matches have been, however nonetheless very bodily.
(2:22) Lashley’s lip or tongue is bleeding.
(2:22) It wouldn’t be a giant WWE match with out them utilizing the identical drained ass spot the place somebody crashes by way of the barricade close to the timekeeper’s space. Lashley goes to hit a Spear, however Brock steps out of the best way, and Lashley smashes by way of the wall.
(2:23) Ugly touchdown on a German Suplex by Lesnar, with Lashley practically coming down on the aspect of his neck.
(2:24) Brock is ragdolling Lashley. That’s spectacular as all hell.
(2:26) Brock goes for an F5, however it’s countered right into a Harm Lock. Lashley has it in tight, however Lesnar reverses it by throwing Bobby into the turnbuckle, squishing the Referee. Lesnar picks Lashley up for an F5, however Lashley’s legs kick the Referee, who ought to be useless now.
(2:27) Roman Reigns comes out of fucking nowhere and hits Lesnar with a Spear! Reigns requires Paul Heyman handy the WWE Title to him, and Heyman does precisely that.
(2:28) A shot with the title belt to Brock’s head is sufficient to get the win for Lashley as a brand new Referee makes the rely. Heyman leaves the ring with Reigns, smirking the complete method. Lashley is your new WWE Champion, and the Reigns vs Lesnar feud will proceed on. When it was rumored that this match would open the present, the favored prediction was what occurred… Heyman and Reigns screw Lesnar, Lashley wins the title, just for Lesnar to be a shock entrant within the Rumble to win it and problem Reigns at WrestleMania. With the match occurring later within the present, we’ll see if it nonetheless occurs. Brock and Bobby had themselves a combat. I’ll go together with 3.5 STARS.
(2:31) Lashley slaps fingers with a bunch of followers on his method to the again once more, so there’s that.
(2:35) Up subsequent is the tremendous cool and not-at-all pressured tagline of The Grit Couple vs The It Couple, with Edge and Beth Phoenix dealing with The Miz and Maryse.
(2:40) Beth Phoenix seems to be like she might nonetheless compete for titles in WWE. She seems to be to be in nice form.
(2:42) I used to be actually, actually hoping this feud would enable for The Miz to have extra of a critical aspect. Sadly, that isn’t the case, and he’s the identical previous Miz, booked to appear like a idiot most of the time.
(2:44) Maryse with the slowest jog of all-time, adopted by delivered the softest slap of all-time to Edge’s face. You’ll be able to’t see it, however I’m shaking my head proper now.
(2:47) Miz, the least intimidating wrestler to ever dwell, fails to intimidate Beth Phoenix, who proceeds to beat him up for a minute. Sounds about proper.
(2:51) Beth hits Miz with a Powerbomb. Sounds about proper.
(2:52) Maryse with a top-rope Hurricanrana on Edge. Sounds… about… proper?
(2:53) Cranium Crushing Finale on Edge will get a 2.99999 rely. One other close to fall that basically obtained the group invested.
(2:54) Edge and Beth hit Miz with a double Spear, after which they take Miz and Maryse out with stereo Glam Slams for the win. Good contact. The match was enjoyable for what it was. It wasn’t a Match Of The Yr candidate or something, but it surely was by no means speculated to be. Let’s say 3 STARS. Let’s transfer Edge on to one thing larger and higher, although, eh? A feud with Dana Brooke and Reggie for the 24/7 Title, possibly?
(3:02) Males’s Royal Rumble time!
(3:02) AJ Kinds is the primary entrant. On the high of the entranceway, he hits the Shawn Michaels lean and flex pose, in all probability as an ode to Michaels successful the Rumble from the #1 spot earlier than. That, or we’re getting AJ vs HBK at WrestleMania. At this level, would that shock anybody?
(3:04) Shinsuke Nakamura is #2, which simply makes me unhappy, primarily based on what might’ve been with these two a number of years again. The Dome is rocking as the group “sings” Nakamura’s theme. It’s similar to previous instances.
(3:05) Enjoyable Reality: Nakamura has been the Intercontinental Champion for 718 days now, and has defended the title precisely zero instances in that span.
(3:07) Austin Idea enters the match within the #3 spot. It wouldn’t shock me if he’s one of many longest-lasting rivals within the match.
(3:08) Robert Roode is within the #4 spot, and the group doesn’t care.
(3:09) Roode and Kinds have a staredown, and there’s an precise “T-N-A” chant from the group for a quick second. Wow.
(3:10) Kinds eliminates Roode. There goes that.
(3:11) #5 is Ridge Holland, full with Sheamus’ face masks to guard his beforehand damaged nostril.
(3:11) Kinds eliminates Nakamura, who will now return to not defending his title.
(3:12) Montez Ford is coming in on the #6 spot. Let’s see what sort of superhuman athletic means he can showcase right here.
(3:14) Damian Priest is #7, prepared to make use of his cut up personalities to have a greater probability of successful this match.
(3:15) Sami Zayn is right here at #8, clearly operating from Johnny Knoxville and the Jackass crew.
(3:16) SHO NUFF, Johnny Knoxville is #9, and he’s accompanied to the ring by a number of members of the Jackass squizzad.
(3:17) Knoxville takes Sami down with a Double-Leg Takedown!
(3:18) Kinds tells Knoxville he can hit him with one free shot, and it’s a doozy. AJ returns hearth and beats the piss out of Knoxville with a number of stiff strikes.
(3:18) Sami eliminates Knoxville, however then will get eradicated by AJ seconds later. Poor man. The conspiracy continues.
(3:19) Angelo Dawkins is out at #10. Michael Cole first calls him “Montez Ford” after which calls him “Angelo Hawkins” in case you had been questioning the way it’s going for him and the way it’s going for Cole.
(3:20) #11 is Omos. Enterprise is about to choose up.
(3:21) Dawkins is thrown excessive by Omos, and seconds later, so is Ford. Omos has eradicated The Avenue Income all by himself.
(3:22) Ricochet is #12, however he will get splattered by Omos instantly.
(3:24) After Omos slaps the soul out of Ricochet’s chest, Chad Gable comes out within the #13 spot. Gable instantly tries to spherical up the troops, saying that everybody ought to staff as much as eradicate Omos. Good thought. He’s undoubtedly the neatest one.
(3:25) Effectively, Damian Priest will get eradicated.
(3:25) The cursed #14 spot goes to Dominik Mysterio! Oh, no!
(3:25) Omos is eradicated! Everybody teamed as much as dump him, and AJ despatched him excessive with the ultimate blow.
(3:27) Completely satisfied Corbin is #15, and I don’t give one single, solitary fuck.
(3:27) Corbin dumps Ricochet out, so we’ll have to attend slightly longer for any actual Ricochet push to happen.
(3:28) Dolph Ziggler is #16, and it’s his fifteenth Rumble match, placing him behind solely Kane for probably the most Rumble appearances of all-time.
(3:29) Corbin eliminates Dominik, making weeks of story between Dom and his dad pointless.
(3:29) Idea is eradicated by Kinds. Aww. Vince McMahon gained’t be pleased.
(3:30) Sheamus is #17, however Ridge Holland will get eradicated proper in entrance of him earlier than he might even enter the ring. It was 12 years in the past, on this very metropolis, that Sheamus gained the Royal Rumble.
(3:31) Rick BOOOOOGS comes out within the #18 spot, and no person is aware of the best way to react. Effectively, aside from Pat McAfee.
(3:32) Boogs presses Gable above his head and heads to the ropes, however nugatory piece of shit Kevin Dunn cuts away and we miss Gable’s elimination completely. Fuck Kevin Dunn. Waste of fucking oxygen.
(3:33) Asshat Moss is #19, and I REALLY don’t give a fuck.
(3:33) One thing must occur to pop the group quickly. They’ve been quiet for some time.
(3:34) Asshat eliminates AJ Kinds, which actually isn’t going to assist issues.
(3:35) Riddle is within the #20 spot, so not less than the group can get pleasure from that.
(3:36) Corbin eliminates Boogs. Darn.
(3:36) Drew McIntyre is again, and he’s right here within the #21 spot. He’s making a line straight for Goofy and Asshat, who put him on the shelf within the first place.
(3:38) Drew eliminates each of these dipshits inside seconds of one another. Thanks, Drew!
(3:38) McIntyre leaves the ring beneath the ropes and continues his assault on Corbin and Moss as Kevin Owens enters the match within the #22 spot. McIntyre and Owens brawl exterior the ring for a second earlier than climbing in.
(3:40) Rey Mysterio is #23, and for the reason that crowd isn’t ready for Daniel Bryan, Rey really will get cheered for coming into the Rumble.
(3:42) Kofi Kingston is right here to enter the match within the #24 spot. Let’s see what wild spot he participates on this yr.
(3:43) El-oh-el @ Kofi being launched out of the ring by Kevin Owens, and as an alternative of being Spider Man and sticking to the barricade, Kofi slipped and touched the ground. Eradicated in seconds. You would inform that wasn’t speculated to occur by the Referee’s response to Kofi touchdown and having to reluctantly inform him he was eradicated. Poor Kofi.
(3:44) Otis is out at #25, inflicting Tucker to cry some unhappy, unhappy tears.
(3:45) Massive E is the twenty sixth entrant, however sadly, he doesn’t have both of his New Day brothers to be within the match with.
(3:47) Dangerous Bunny is again! He enters the match within the #27 spot, and he takes off instantly.
(3:48) Sheamus is eradicated after lacking a Brogue Kick on Dangerous Bunny and going crusing excessive rope!
(3:49) Ziggler is eradicated by Rey and Dangerous Bunny.
(3:49) Shane McMahon is #28, and as soon as once more, we missed an elimination as Otis knocked Rey Mysterio out of the match. Fuck. Kevin. Dunn. Fuck his goofy, bucktoothed face.
(3:50) Kevin Owens is thrown out by Shane-O-Mac. Eh. No, thanks.
(3:51) In spite of everything these years, Shane nonetheless throws the wildest punches ever. He both connects legit and potatoes you, or he misses by a number of ft. There’s no in between.
(3:51) St. Louis’ personal, Randy Orton, is now coming into the match within the #29 spot. Orton is seeking to be part of “Stone Chilly” Steve Austin as the one three-time Rumble winners. Massive E will get dumped out by Orton instantly, and there goes Otis, too, as I sort that.
(3:53) To no person’s shock, Brock Lesnar is within the #30 spot. Riddle in all probability didn’t give the suitable response, as he seemed virtually excited to see Brock.

(3:55) Brock hits Dangerous Bunny with an F5 after which eliminates him.
(3:55) Lesnar catches Riddle in mid-air after which deadlifts him excessive rope, eliminating him. As I sort that, Brock eliminates Shane McMahon, leaving us with two males… Brock and Drew McIntyre.

It was the anticipated consequence, however my goodness, each Lesnar and Ronda Rousey don’t must win the Royal Rumble in 2022. That’s precisely what occurred, although. Once more, I don’t fee all these matches, but it surely was enjoyable. The laziest attainable reserving choice, however enjoyable nonetheless.
