00:00:00Introducing entrant number one,
00:00:05accompanied by Paul Heyman.
00:00:09He is the WWE Champion,
00:00:14Brock Lesnar.
00:00:17Ladies and gentlemen, this is unprecedented tonight.
00:00:21Never before in history is the WWE Champion, Brock Lesnar,
00:00:27declared that he would enter the Royal Rumble match at number one.
00:00:34But Brock Lesnar has done just that.
00:00:37And my question to you is this, Booker, if you're Brock Lesnar, why?
00:00:43I mean, come on.
00:00:44I mean, a chance to make history,
00:00:45a chance to go to WrestleMania with that chance being that guy.
00:00:49Come on, Corey.
00:00:50I think at this point in his career, Brock Lesnar doesn't need to prove anything to
00:00:54anyone, but in the beast's mind, this is the final thing that he has left to prove
00:01:00in WWE.
00:01:01Remember, the winner of the Royal Rumble match will main event WrestleMania.
00:01:04You see the stoic look of confidence
00:01:10on the face of the WWE Champion,
00:01:15Brock Lesnar, and the WWE Champion,
00:01:21Brock Lesnar ready for battle.
00:01:27A test of endurance he's not even experienced in the past.
00:01:30Brock Lesnar won the Royal Rumble match back in 2003.
00:01:35Let's see who he will square off with to start the Royal Rumble match tonight.
00:01:38Hello, I am Elias.
00:01:51Houston, we have a problem.
00:02:05But Elias is here to solve it.
00:02:09See, in the ring, we've got a braindead gorilla and
00:02:15his fat zookeeper, and they don't seem to understand
00:02:21that there is a truth that you cannot deny.
00:02:25It is a universal truth that I am sure everyone here knows.
00:02:30And that is that WWE stands for.
00:02:33I said WWE stands for.
00:02:40Sing it, baby.
00:02:43They're singing for me, Brock.
00:02:50You hear that?
00:02:52And now I'm gonna sing for you.
00:02:57I wrote a little song called Sacrificial Lamb.
00:03:04And it would help me out a little bit if you would sing it for me, Brock.
00:03:13It would help me a lot if y'all could clap along.
00:03:15The sacrificial lamb is heading to the ring.
00:03:38But before I do, I got one more song to sing.
00:03:45Brock Lesnar's pacing, he's ready to attack.
00:03:51Hey, man, keep your damn mouth shut.
00:03:54I'll smash a guitar on your back.
00:03:57Oh, baby.
00:03:59Well, Brock Lesnar has heard enough, and he's going right after Elias.
00:04:03Lesnar is incensed.
00:04:04This was not a smart move to incite the beast, Elias.
00:04:07And now Elias into the ring.
00:04:08And the first two men will start the Royal Rumble match for 2020.
00:04:11And Lesnar with a takedown, and now hammering away on Elias.
00:04:14Look, guys, it's time to entertain.
00:04:16It's a time to be serious.
00:04:17And right now, Elias is not focused.
00:04:20Brock Lesnar is, however.
00:04:22Elias, who began last year's Rumble at number one and didn't last long,
00:04:26may be on the same fate here tonight in a German suplex.
00:04:30Space City is becoming Suplex City.
00:04:34Listen, some could say that what Brock Lesnar's attempting to do
00:04:38is beyond confidence.
00:04:39It's downright arrogance.
00:04:41However, if anyone in WWE possesses the skill set necessary
00:04:45to achieve this feat, number one and winning the Royal Rumble,
00:04:49it is Brock Lesnar, the greatest combat athlete in sports.
00:04:53Oh, my God, Lesnar with a guitar across the spine.
00:04:58Talking about playing a tune.
00:05:00That is what the beast is all about.
00:05:03Now Elias can write a new song about that time I jumped headfirst
00:05:06into a meat grinder.
00:05:07Because that's what this is all about.
00:05:09There goes Elias.
00:05:10Elias eliminated by Brock Lesnar.
00:05:13See, that's what coming out here playing games will get you.
00:05:16I hope everybody in the locker room took note.
00:05:20I don't know how you can't take note.
00:05:22I mean, there you see Heyman showing everybody what this is all about.
00:05:26This is what Brock Lesnar is all about.
00:05:30The WWE champion.
00:05:33And in eight more seconds, entry number three.
00:05:37Let's see if somebody else has a new tactic.
00:05:39Try to get the beast incarnate off of his game.
00:05:42Elias tried, it just didn't work so well.
00:05:47Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
00:05:48And from Monday Night Raw, Erick Rowan.
00:05:51And still carrying that thing, whatever it is,
00:05:56has bit Rowan over the past couple of weeks.
00:05:59It just drives him insane.
00:06:00I'm not really worried about what's in the cage.
00:06:02I'm more excited about the amount of humanity about to be in the ring
00:06:05with only two competitors.
00:06:06Look at the size of both of these guys.
00:06:08Yeah, yeah, check out the power walk.
00:06:10That's a man that's looking to cause some trouble.
00:06:13Rowan entering his third Rumble match.
00:06:16Brock Lesnar quickly with a waist lock.
00:06:19And Erick Rowan caught him with a foot in the elbow.
00:06:21And eliminated by Brock is Rowan.
00:06:23Brock Lesnar is eliminated.
00:06:26The first two man he has faced in the Royal Rumble match tonight.
00:06:30Wow.
00:06:33Dare I say it, looked easy.
00:06:35Erick Rowan was only in the ring for eight seconds.
00:06:40As Heyman continues to gloat with the WWE championship.
00:06:46Just think about it.
00:06:47Brock Lesnar's used very, very little energy in these two guys right here.
00:06:52You're right, Booker.
00:06:53I mean, this game is all about endurance tonight.
00:06:55Lesnar had 29 other superstars.
00:06:57And at this point, he's already taken care of two of them.
00:07:00He's making it an easy night.
00:07:03Entry number four.
00:07:05Just think about it.
00:07:06Brock Lesnar just had about 20 seconds to rest.
00:07:09Next victim, please.
00:07:11And for the second time in his career, it's Robert Roode entering the Royal Rumble match.
00:07:18Listen, Robert Roode is a veteran.
00:07:20He's always very, very confident, very cagey inside the ring.
00:07:24But there's got to be some trepidation in the mind of Robert Roode,
00:07:28realizing what he's about to experience.
00:07:30We saw Roode get involved in the Falls Count Anywhere match earlier tonight
00:07:35between Roman Reigns and King Corbin.
00:07:37And Roode not in a hurry to make it to the ring.
00:07:39And do you blame him?
00:07:40Normally, you come out number four.
00:07:42There's still a lot of action going on in the ring.
00:07:45He's all on his own right now with Brock Lesnar.
00:07:49Roode trying to figure out, what do I do to survive?
00:07:52At least until the next competitor comes out.
00:07:55Roode ducks underneath, right hands to Brock,
00:07:57now trying to drive the WWE champion back.
00:07:59Brock quickly kicked to the midsection.
00:08:01Whips him into the corner, and Robert Roode caught him in the nose.
00:08:04Whips him into the corner, and Robert Roode caught him in the nose.
00:08:07Roode trying to rely on his-
00:08:08What a clothesline!
00:08:09Wow!
00:08:12Good Brock Lesnar keeping these guys real close to the body tonight.
00:08:15F5!
00:08:16Oh my goodness!
00:08:23Brock Lesnar has been glorious in his own right so far tonight.
00:08:29The Beast just stalking his prey.
00:08:32And Robert Roode sent over the top rope and out of the ring.
00:08:35Wow.
00:08:36Brock Lesnar has eliminated three men.
00:08:40Once again, Heyman happy to gloat.
00:08:43Hey guys, can you remember the last time something like this happened
00:08:46where the first entry is still all alone at number five?
00:08:50It never has.
00:08:51No.
00:08:52It's unprecedented.
00:08:53And the champion never voluntarily entered, much less at number one.
00:09:00Entering at number five, the man who returned to Friday Night SmackDown
00:09:05a couple of weeks ago for the first time in eight years,
00:09:08John Morrison.
00:09:10This could be very interesting.
00:09:11We always talk about John Morrison and his parkour style,
00:09:14his ability to utilize his environment.
00:09:17Hopefully, Morrison has a little bit of that.
00:09:19Hopefully, Morrison has a completely different game plan for Lesnar
00:09:22than anybody we've seen thus far.
00:09:24You know, I think the best game plan right now is just to stall,
00:09:27try to wait on somebody else to come out.
00:09:30Yeah, Booker, to that point,
00:09:31John Morrison has more experience in the Rumble matches
00:09:34than the previous three men who tried to get in the ring and face Brock.
00:09:38This is Morrison's seventh Rumble appearance.
00:09:40Oh, my God!
00:09:41Morrison tried to catch him with a kick.
00:09:43Now, the quickness of Morrison and Brock Lesnar says,
00:09:46John Morrison over the top rope!
00:09:48Four eliminations for the Beast.
00:09:51Nine seconds.
00:09:53John Morrison was in the ring.
00:09:55This has been an incredible, dominating performance
00:09:59so far for Brock Lesnar.
00:10:01Talking about history,
00:10:02this might be the shortest Royal Rumble
00:10:04in the history of Royal Rumbles, guys.
00:10:06You're absolutely right, Booker.
00:10:08Look at this inhuman power possessed by Lesnar.
00:10:14It ain't a parkour.
00:10:15Worked out for it.
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:17It didn't land on his face instead,
00:10:19but still a much shorter night than he would have liked for John Morrison.
00:10:23I say about all these flippy guys, man,
00:10:25I mean, you got a guy like Brock Lesnar,
00:10:27who's a ground-and-pound type of guy.
00:10:29Just take note,
00:10:30that's the guy that's working in the main event every night.
00:10:33Paul Heyman very happy with his client.
00:10:38And again, Brock continues to rest.
00:10:41And again, Brock continues to rest,
00:10:43and now we'll wait number six,
00:10:44the number six entry in the Royal Rumble.
00:10:47What's that, 30 seconds of rest right there?
00:10:49About 30 seconds?
00:10:51Actually, about 85, since there's 90-second intervals, Brock.
00:10:54But nonetheless, oh, this is interesting.
00:10:56Kofi Kingston, and he has a chance now at Retribution,
00:11:00because remember,
00:11:01Kofi Kingston lost to Brock Lesnar in about four seconds,
00:11:05dropping the WWE Championship to him
00:11:07on the debut of Friday Night SmackDown
00:11:09on Fox back in October.
00:11:10And Corey, he has it on a chance to get back at Brock.
00:11:13Kofi has been very open and honest.
00:11:15He doubted himself in the past,
00:11:18but Kingston's on business now.
00:11:19Kingston with a kick to the midsection,
00:11:21and here comes Kofi Kingston.
00:11:22Kingston going after the base.
00:11:24Look at Kofi go!
00:11:25Picked up by Brock though, and driven into the corner.
00:11:29This is a history-making appearance for Kofi Kingston.
00:11:32He is now tied for second in Royal Rumble history
00:11:36with 13 appearances.
00:11:38We know Kingston has a history of making magic
00:11:40in the Royal Rumble matches.
00:11:42Kingston's gonna need some magic tonight!
00:11:43No!
00:11:44German Suplex!
00:11:45He's gonna have to disappear.
00:11:47We think he's gonna get some help.
00:11:49Make himself invisible, right, Buck?
00:11:52Brock Lesnar just continuing to pummel the competition.
00:11:56And I was wondering if Kofi learned anything
00:11:58from that last bout by just running in there.
00:12:01Same thing here, man.
00:12:02He just, I think a little too overzealous.
00:12:04Well, he did get some shots in on Brock early,
00:12:07but Brock Lesnar with a big ol' smile on his face.
00:12:11Looking to eliminate Kofi Kingston.
00:12:14Oh, no.
00:12:15Number seven entry will get into this matchup
00:12:17in five seconds.
00:12:18Is Kofi gonna make it the full distance here?
00:12:21You mean in between participants?
00:12:23He does.
00:12:26And number seven, Rey Mysterio,
00:12:29who has his own score to settle with The Beast.
00:12:32Plenty of history, plenty of bad blood
00:12:35between Rey Mysterio and The Beast Incarnate.
00:12:38Rey Mysterio has not forgotten
00:12:40what Brock Lesnar did to his son Dominik
00:12:42in the physical abuse that he put Dominik through.
00:12:45And Mysterio now marches to the ring.
00:12:47It'll be Kingston, Mysterio, and Lesnar
00:12:49in the Rumble match.
00:12:50Tell you right now,
00:12:51Rey Mysterio better be very careful running in here
00:12:54because Brock Lesnar's not gonna take any pity on him
00:12:57for any reason in a match like this.
00:12:59But Mysterio, you're using his leg.
00:13:00It's going down low to the knee of Brock Lesnar,
00:13:02but Brock Lesnar just shoves Mysterio away.
00:13:04Lesnar has quite simply overwhelmed every superstar
00:13:07that stepped in the ring with him tonight.
00:13:09Rey Mysterio, the man who won the 2006 Royal Rumble match
00:13:13when he entered number two,
00:13:15lasted over one hour and two minutes,
00:13:17the longest ever in a 30-man Rumble match.
00:13:20Guys, right now, Brock Lesnar is beast handling
00:13:23two former world champions at the same time,
00:13:27simultaneously.
00:13:28This is unprecedented.
00:13:30This is unbelievable.
00:13:33Brock Lesnar checked in at number one for a reason, man,
00:13:36to show everybody in the locker room that,
00:13:38hey, this is what you gotta contend with.
00:13:40Yeah, you know, because he's questioned a lot
00:13:42about whether or not he's a fighting champion.
00:13:44Brock Lesnar's showing that he is tonight.
00:13:47And I think Paul Heyman...
00:13:48Oh!
00:13:49What a suplex!
00:13:50Words.
00:13:51Wow.
00:13:52Made a lot of superstars angry
00:13:53that Lesnar didn't feel that anyone was worthy
00:13:55to challenge for his WWE championship.
00:13:57But to this point,
00:13:58all Lesnar's done is prove Heyman exactly right.
00:14:01Two men with a lot of experience in Rumble matches
00:14:04in the ring with Lesnar.
00:14:05Kofi at 13, Mysterio at 11,
00:14:07but a German suplex by Lesnar.
00:14:12Brock Lesnar is making this look easy.
00:14:15This is an honest question.
00:14:16If Brock Lesnar wins this Royal Rumble match,
00:14:19does the Beast even bother defending
00:14:21the WWE championship at WrestleMania?
00:14:23Great question, Corey.
00:14:25Like I said, Brock Lesnar's put himself in a position
00:14:27to ride his own ticket by winning the Royal Rumble championship.
00:14:31It's a new day! Yes, it is!
00:14:33Kofi gets a backup.
00:14:35Big E, the near 300-pounder,
00:14:38gonna march to the ring in his seventh Rumble appearance.
00:14:41I wanna see this.
00:14:43Big E and Kofi,
00:14:44the current SmackDown Tag Team Champions.
00:14:47Mysterio and Kingston.
00:14:51Big E lending a little assistance
00:14:53to new day teammate Kofi Kingston,
00:14:56Rey Mysterio.
00:14:58Big E rallying the troops.
00:14:59This is great strategy.
00:15:01A three-on-one situation.
00:15:02Normally, it's every man for himself,
00:15:04but you gotta go after the Beast
00:15:05and try to eliminate Lesnar.
00:15:06Kingston, Big E, Mysterio,
00:15:08and Brock Lesnar fights out of it.
00:15:10And Brock goes right after Big E.
00:15:12Oh, trouble in paradise!
00:15:14As tough as Brock is,
00:15:15the end game is the three guys against one.
00:15:18Three always win.
00:15:19Big E looking for the Big Ending.
00:15:20Oh, he's gonna do it!
00:15:21He's got the Beast off his feet!
00:15:23Big E, Big Ending to Lesnar!
00:15:25You can tell Brock is getting
00:15:26a little fatigued right now, guys.
00:15:29Houston's area code has changed to 619.
00:15:36Brock's in trouble.
00:15:42Hey, look at this now.
00:15:43Mysterio.
00:15:44Oh, no.
00:15:45Eliminated!
00:15:46Elimination number five by Lesnar.
00:15:48Did you see that athleticism?
00:15:50Big E!
00:15:51Eliminated!
00:15:52Number six!
00:15:53Unbelievable.
00:15:54I don't know where Brock Lesnar
00:15:55found that gear at,
00:15:56but I said fatigued,
00:15:58but obviously I was wrong.
00:16:09Brock Lesnar has eliminated six men
00:16:12so far in this Royal Rumble match.
00:16:15I tell you, look at the universe.
00:16:17Keep the tally going.
00:16:18And an F5 to Kingston,
00:16:19who's eliminated.
00:16:20Seven eliminations for Lesnar.
00:16:23Good night, Kofi Kingston.
00:16:25The record's 13 by Strowman.
00:16:28Lesnar's almost halfway there.
00:16:30He's more than halfway there.
00:16:31Brock Lesnar just took on an assault
00:16:33from the reigning SmackDown Tag Team Champions
00:16:36and Rey Mysterio.
00:16:38Oh, this is gonna be interesting.
00:16:41Yeah, the man who we always say
00:16:42is the man who's gonna win.
00:16:44Oh, this is gonna be interesting.
00:16:46Yeah, the man who we always say
00:16:47pound for pound is more powerful
00:16:48than anybody in WWE.
00:16:50The Swiss Superman, Cesaro,
00:16:52entering at number nine.
00:16:54Heads into the ring
00:16:55to square off with Brock Lesnar.
00:16:57Cesaro trying to do
00:16:58what no one else has been able to.
00:17:00Eliminate the WWE Champion.
00:17:01Uppercuts, uppercut.
00:17:03See that knee right there,
00:17:04right to the solar plexus.
00:17:07And Lesnar now,
00:17:08what a suplex to Cesaro.
00:17:11Cesaro back to his feet,
00:17:12and Cesaro eliminated.
00:17:13Oh, man, that knee was debilitating, man.
00:17:15You get caught right there,
00:17:16just take everything out of you.
00:17:18Brock Lesnar has been in this match
00:17:20over 13 minutes,
00:17:21and he has eliminated every single man
00:17:25who has entered.
00:17:26Eight eliminations for the Beast.
00:17:28Cesaro connected flush
00:17:30with about a dozen uppercuts,
00:17:32and Lesnar just ate each one,
00:17:34smiled, and kneed Cesaro in the liver.
00:17:38And again, a rest period for Brock Lesnar.
00:17:42We've said for years and years
00:17:43anything can happen in WWE,
00:17:45but I never in a million years
00:17:46imagined that this would be
00:17:48a true possibility.
00:17:50It's one thing to have bravado.
00:17:51It's one thing for Paul Heyman
00:17:52to make a ridiculous claim.
00:17:54We are watching something
00:17:55we've never seen happen before.
00:17:56Corey, 33 rumbles.
00:17:58This has never happened.
00:18:00Entering at number 10,
00:18:01Shelton Benjamin.
00:18:02This is really interesting.
00:18:04The former college teammates
00:18:06at the University of Minnesota.
00:18:08Longtime friends,
00:18:09longtime training partners,
00:18:11Shelton Benjamin and Brock Lesnar.
00:18:13Feel a little bad for Shelton
00:18:14being in this position
00:18:15right here, right now.
00:18:17Yeah, but he's a veteran, Booker.
00:18:18Ten Royal Rumble appearances.
00:18:21And he's got a lot of experience
00:18:22in the ring.
00:18:23He's got a lot of experience
00:18:24in the ring.
00:18:25He's got a lot of experience
00:18:26in the ring.
00:18:27Ten Royal Rumble appearances.
00:18:29Certainly a healthy level
00:18:30of respect between
00:18:31these two athletes,
00:18:32but I got sort of
00:18:33a stupid question.
00:18:34Does Brock take it
00:18:35a little easy on Shelton?
00:18:36No.
00:18:37And if Shelton expects Brock
00:18:38to take it anything less
00:18:39than 100 percent?
00:18:40I am so happy to see you!
00:18:42I want you to reunite
00:18:44with Brock Lesnar!
00:18:47Heyman invited Shelton
00:18:48in for a hug.
00:18:49Now he can stab him
00:18:50in the back.
00:18:51Don't fall for that, Shelton.
00:18:54Hey, I see you, number 10!
00:18:57Well, the former college teammates
00:18:59reunited here tonight.
00:19:10Whoa.
00:19:11Lesnar finding an ally?
00:19:13This isn't a bad decision
00:19:14by Brock.
00:19:18As they await now
00:19:19entry number 11
00:19:20into the Royal Rumble match,
00:19:21and Brock Lesnar
00:19:22with a German Suplex
00:19:23to Benjamin.
00:19:25Brock Lesnar
00:19:26turning on his friend,
00:19:28and he eliminates Benjamin.
00:19:30The ninth elimination
00:19:32of this match.
00:19:33And Lesnar is laughing about it.
00:19:35How gullible can Shelton be?
00:19:38This is about business, man.
00:19:40This is about the Royal Rumble.
00:19:42It's about winning
00:19:43and going to WrestleMania.
00:19:46Benjamin thought
00:19:47he was gonna trust him.
00:19:48I mean, listen,
00:19:49I wouldn't have blamed Brock
00:19:50for taking an ally
00:19:51for a few minutes.
00:19:52Obviously, I didn't expect
00:19:53it to last very long.
00:19:54You ain't cheating.
00:19:55You ain't trying.
00:19:56I understand what Brock did.
00:19:57But Shelton on that,
00:19:58for God's sake.
00:20:03The Intercontinental Champion.
00:20:05And the man who won
00:20:06the Royal Rumble
00:20:07two years ago, 2018.
00:20:12Don't forget
00:20:13the Great Liberator, Cole,
00:20:14Sami Zayn.
00:20:15Yeah, Sami Zayn.
00:20:18Sharing Shinsuke Nakamura
00:20:20on as he makes his way
00:20:22to the ring
00:20:23to take on Brock Lesnar.
00:20:25And you see what Sami Zayn
00:20:26is doing right now.
00:20:27Straight to the back
00:20:29because he knows
00:20:30exactly what's gonna happen
00:20:32to Shinsuke Nakamura
00:20:33and Brock Lesnar,
00:20:34both decorated champions
00:20:35in Japan
00:20:36as Brock Lesnar
00:20:37missed with the right hand.
00:20:38And now Shinsuke Nakamura,
00:20:39the King of Strong Style,
00:20:40trying to take it
00:20:41to the WWE Champion.
00:20:42Missed wildly.
00:20:43And caught him on the other side.
00:20:45And Lesnar's down.
00:20:46Right on the temple.
00:20:47That temple shot right there.
00:20:49Very deadly.
00:20:51Nakamura comes
00:20:52picked out of the air
00:20:53by Brock Lesnar.
00:20:54And Nakamura is eliminated.
00:20:56Brock Lesnar has eliminated
00:20:58ten men.
00:20:59Remember, the record is
00:21:01thirteen
00:21:02by Braun Strowman
00:21:03in the Greatest Royal Rumble.
00:21:05Roman Reigns once eliminated
00:21:06twelve.
00:21:07But no man in history
00:21:08has eliminated
00:21:09ten straight opponents
00:21:12in the Royal Rumble match.
00:21:14But you also can't forget, Cole,
00:21:15in the Greatest Royal Rumble
00:21:16there were fifty competitors.
00:21:20And Shinsuke Nakamura
00:21:21had knocked Brock Lesnar down
00:21:23with the kick.
00:21:25But Brock Lesnar was able
00:21:26to eliminate Shinsuke.
00:21:28As we await number twelve.
00:21:34Lesnar now with some
00:21:35very valuable time
00:21:36on his hands.
00:21:39Able to
00:21:40rest slightly.
00:21:41Prepare for whatever's next.
00:21:44This is a surprise!
00:21:46What?!
00:21:47MVP!
00:21:50A former United States champion!
00:21:53A former tag team champion!
00:21:56How does Lesnar prepare
00:21:57for someone we haven't seen
00:21:58in WWE in years?
00:22:00I talk to MVP all the time.
00:22:02He's the guy that's got
00:22:03a lot of unfinished business
00:22:05here in the WWE.
00:22:06Well, he can make a name
00:22:07for himself again
00:22:08rather quickly.
00:22:09And he can eliminate
00:22:10Brock Lesnar.
00:22:11Lesnar is dancing.
00:22:15The WWE champion
00:22:17is dancing.
00:22:18He's feeling it.
00:22:19Why shouldn't he be happy?
00:22:20He's eliminated ten men.
00:22:22MVP, he looks like
00:22:23he just came from Wakanda.
00:22:31MVP taking his time
00:22:32getting in the ring.
00:22:34And that's very wise.
00:22:35Very wise.
00:22:37He's got a lot of
00:22:38unfinished business.
00:22:39And that's very wise.
00:22:40Very wise.
00:22:41And now chasing Heyman.
00:22:43I don't know if I've ever
00:22:44seen Heyman move that fast.
00:22:45Brock Lesnar's going to
00:22:46bring MVP in
00:22:48to the Royal Rumble
00:22:49match himself.
00:22:50Oh, wait a minute.
00:22:51MVP.
00:22:52Talk about a veteran.
00:22:53That's MVP.
00:22:54That's, like I said,
00:22:55a guy that's got a whole lot
00:22:56to prove here.
00:22:57If he can get Brock Lesnar
00:22:58somehow over that top rope,
00:22:59he'll do it.
00:23:00Brock, you mentioned Wakanda.
00:23:01Does that make
00:23:02Brock Lesnar Thanos?
00:23:04An F5 by Lesnar.
00:23:06He might be right.
00:23:09MVP's return
00:23:10may be short-lived.
00:23:12Sent over the top rope.
00:23:14Hits the floor.
00:23:1511 eliminations.
00:23:18Every single man
00:23:19that has followed Brock Lesnar
00:23:21into the Royal Rumble
00:23:22match tonight
00:23:23has been eliminated
00:23:24by the WWE Champion.
00:23:27Guess the vibranium
00:23:28didn't work out.
00:23:30Number 13.
00:23:35Oh, yeah!
00:23:37Yes!
00:23:38Oh, yeah!
00:23:40The new North American
00:23:41champion from NXT,
00:23:44Limitless Keith Lee.
00:23:45I can assure you,
00:23:46Brock Lesnar has never
00:23:47encountered an athlete
00:23:49quite like Keith Lee.
00:23:50The man who went
00:23:51toe-to-toe with Roman Reigns
00:23:53in an incredible Survivor Series.
00:23:55He makes his first
00:23:56Rumble match appearance
00:23:57tonight.
00:23:58Keith Lee is a
00:24:00very, very unusual blend
00:24:02of size, speed, agility,
00:24:04and attitude.
00:24:05He is the big man,
00:24:07very agile, mobile, versatile,
00:24:09can do anything
00:24:11with inside the square circle.
00:24:13In baseball, you'd call
00:24:14Keith Lee a five-tool player.
00:24:16Keith Lee has it all,
00:24:18and he's gonna go
00:24:19toe-to-toe with the Beast.
00:24:21I call him a clean-up man.
00:24:28You hear the rumble
00:24:30at Minute Maid Park.
00:24:34Lesnar almost looks surprised
00:24:36at the size of Lee.
00:24:50Lee did not look
00:24:51intimidated in the least,
00:24:53but Lesnar on the attack first.
00:24:55Maybe in this case,
00:24:56a little bit of intimidation
00:24:57would serve Keith well.
00:24:59Keith Lee with a shoulder tackle.
00:25:00Now Brock goes down.
00:25:01Whoa!
00:25:02Keith Lee just buried Lesnar.
00:25:06And Brock with a look
00:25:07of shock on his face.
00:25:09Lee now a splash to the corner.
00:25:10Whoa, look at that.
00:25:11Look at that move right there.
00:25:12The athleticism of Lee.
00:25:14The southpaw with the left hand.
00:25:16Lesnar's stunned.
00:25:17Lesnar's in trouble.
00:25:19Brock's dazed right now.
00:25:21Definitely dazed.
00:25:22Better down in the middle
00:25:23of the ring.
00:25:24What a collision
00:25:25between these two behemoths.
00:25:32And we now await
00:25:33the next entry.
00:25:35Number 14 on the way.
00:25:44A monster of a man,
00:25:45Braun Strowman.
00:25:47Three huge men
00:25:48will be in the ring
00:25:49at the same time.
00:25:50Lesnar has been in this match
00:25:51over 20 minutes.
00:25:52Perhaps fatigue
00:25:54could be setting in.
00:25:57If Brock's going out,
00:25:58Brock's going out now.
00:26:00The man who won the 2018
00:26:02Greatest Royal Rumble.
00:26:04Eliminated 13 men that night.
00:26:07And Braun Strowman,
00:26:08the monster among men.
00:26:11With a drop kick.
00:26:13Lee went under the bottom rope.
00:26:14Still in the match.
00:26:15He's got to go over the top rope
00:26:16with both feet hitting the floor.
00:26:18He's realizing what it's like
00:26:20right now to be in here
00:26:21with the big guys,
00:26:22the big guns.
00:26:23Why is Strowman leaving the ring?
00:26:25Because he can do that.
00:26:27But why?
00:26:28The name of the game
00:26:29is to get everyone in the ring
00:26:30out of the ring.
00:26:31Strowman back in the ring.
00:26:32Lesnar back to his feet.
00:26:33Brock follows it up
00:26:34with a clothesline.
00:26:36Strowman's like a loose cannon
00:26:37right now.
00:26:38He's just mowing down
00:26:39everything in front of him.
00:26:41History between these two men
00:26:42as well.
00:26:43Strowman just eyeing
00:26:44Brock Lesnar.
00:26:45Will Strowman be the man
00:26:46to eliminate Brock Lesnar
00:26:47from the Royal Rumble match?
00:26:48Brock, though, from behind,
00:26:49looking for a German Suplex.
00:26:51Whoa, man.
00:26:52To the monster.
00:26:54And now to Keith Lee.
00:26:55Are you kidding me?
00:26:58Keith Lee dumped
00:26:59on the back of his neck
00:27:00and another
00:27:01for Braun Strowman.
00:27:03This is an incredible performance.
00:27:05Perhaps one of the greatest,
00:27:07if not the greatest,
00:27:08in the history
00:27:09of the Royal Rumble match.
00:27:12I gotta agree.
00:27:13I don't know how you can
00:27:14disagree with that, Cole.
00:27:15Not only because of
00:27:16the eliminations
00:27:17that Brock Lesnar has
00:27:18procured to this point,
00:27:19but the pure dominance.
00:27:21Lesnar has annihilated
00:27:23every man that stepped
00:27:25in front of him tonight.
00:27:26He's been absolutely awesome
00:27:27in this match,
00:27:28has Brock Lesnar.
00:27:29Strowman back to his feet.
00:27:30Lee back to his feet as well.
00:27:31Brock Lesnar.
00:27:32Uh-oh.
00:27:41Always wondered
00:27:42what it would be like
00:27:43with these two big men
00:27:44squared off.
00:27:45Strowman and Keith Lee
00:27:46exchanging blows.
00:27:49And now Brock Lesnar
00:27:50from behind
00:27:51takes advantage.
00:27:52Eliminates two more men.
00:27:54Thirteen eliminations
00:27:55for Brock Lesnar.
00:27:56He's tied the Rumble record.
00:27:59Opportunity knocks, man.
00:28:00Brock Lesnar's on it.
00:28:02You gotta love it.
00:28:04We always talk about
00:28:05strategy, but Brock's
00:28:06just throwing everything
00:28:07out of the window right now.
00:28:08That is opportunity
00:28:09right there.
00:28:10Lesnar saw an opportunity
00:28:11and capitalized.
00:28:12And the one and only
00:28:13Ricochet from Monday Night Raw
00:28:15enters at number 15.
00:28:16We are halfway through
00:28:17this year's Rumble match.
00:28:18This is Ricochet's first ever
00:28:20Rumble match appearance.
00:28:21And remember what
00:28:22Brock Lesnar did to Ricochet
00:28:23this past Monday Night on Raw.
00:28:25Took him out.
00:28:26He kicked a low blow.
00:28:28Lesnar catches Ricochet.
00:28:30Brock Lesnar.
00:28:32Backbreaker delivered.
00:28:34Stopped any chance
00:28:35Ricochet had of
00:28:36starting with momentum.
00:28:40Is Brock getting a bit winded?
00:28:42We're halfway through
00:28:43the Rumble match.
00:28:44He entered at number one.
00:28:45There's no way Brock
00:28:46can't be getting tired right now.
00:28:47And we wonder if Ricochet
00:28:48have come in at the right time.
00:28:49Maybe he caught Brock Lesnar
00:28:51at that moment.
00:28:52Well, Brock, one of the most
00:28:53well-conditioned athletes
00:28:54in the history of WWE,
00:28:55the history of competition.
00:28:57The history of WWE.
00:28:58The history of combat sports
00:28:59for that matter.
00:29:00As he delivers another
00:29:01German suplex.
00:29:02This one to Ricochet.
00:29:06And the Beast is grinning.
00:29:09I don't want to hear
00:29:10anybody say anything about
00:29:11Brock Lesnar not defending
00:29:12titles.
00:29:13Not, you know, spending any
00:29:14time.
00:29:15Not wrestling when he needs
00:29:16to wrestle.
00:29:17This has been an incredible
00:29:18performance by Brock Lesnar.
00:29:19A career-defining performance
00:29:20here tonight.
00:29:21And you're talking about
00:29:22the greatest combat sports
00:29:23athlete in history.
00:29:24NCAA champion.
00:29:25UFC heavyweight champion.
00:29:27Multiple time WWE champion
00:29:28and universal champion.
00:29:31Number 16.
00:29:34Drew McIntyre.
00:29:37I would add, soon-to-be
00:29:38Royal Rumble winner.
00:29:41But you've got McIntyre
00:29:42staring a hole through the
00:29:43WWE champion right now.
00:29:45You know, McIntyre last year
00:29:46entered at the same spot,
00:29:47number 16.
00:29:49He lasted over 20 minutes
00:29:50and came close to winning
00:29:51the event.
00:29:52McIntyre now.
00:29:53Eye, locked eyes with
00:29:54Brock Lesnar.
00:30:24Oh, and Ricochet with a
00:30:25low blow to Lesnar.
00:30:29Lesnar eliminated.
00:30:31McIntyre eliminates Lesnar.
00:30:37Brock Lesnar lasted 26
00:30:38minutes, 23 seconds.
00:30:42But he was eliminated by
00:30:43a low blow by Ricochet.
00:30:45Payback for Monday night.
00:30:47And then McIntyre with
00:30:48a Claymore.
00:30:49Heyman's in disbelief.
00:30:54A little teamwork.
00:30:55Chalk up the assist to
00:30:56Ricochet, but boom!
00:30:58Claymore knocks the
00:30:59WWE champion to the floor.
00:31:02This place is still
00:31:03in disbelief.
00:31:04But an incredible performance.
00:31:05A record-tying performance
00:31:07by Lesnar.
00:31:08He eliminated 13 men tonight,
00:31:10tying a Royal Rumble record.
00:31:12Entered at number one,
00:31:13lasted 26 minutes,
00:31:1523 seconds.
00:31:16Meanwhile, Ricochet turns
00:31:18his attention to McIntyre.
00:31:19These two men now,
00:31:20the only men left.
00:31:22The only men remaining
00:31:23in this part of the Royal
00:31:24Rumble match as we
00:31:25await number 17.
00:31:26Wait, wait, wait, wait,
00:31:27look at this power
00:31:28from Drew McIntyre.
00:31:31McIntyre eliminates
00:31:33Ricochet.
00:31:34I'll tell you guys,
00:31:35a lot of the smart money
00:31:36was on Brock Lesnar,
00:31:37but Drew McIntyre not
00:31:39too far behind at
00:31:40nine to two odds.
00:31:42I'll take that either day
00:31:43of the week.
00:31:44Look at this.
00:31:45This is horrifying strength
00:31:46from McIntyre just throwing
00:31:49Ricochet nearly into
00:31:50the front row.
00:31:51And McIntyre returned
00:31:53to stare at a fallen
00:31:54WWE champion.
00:31:56And think about this,
00:31:5715 men have been
00:31:58eliminated in this match
00:31:59by two individuals,
00:32:01Lesnar, McIntyre.
00:32:03McIntyre just gonna pick
00:32:04up what Brock Lesnar
00:32:05left off,
00:32:06just the way it seems.
00:32:07Awesome!
00:32:08And number 17 is
00:32:10The Miz,
00:32:11a veteran of the
00:32:13Royal Rumble match,
00:32:14making his 12th Rumble
00:32:16appearance here tonight.
00:32:17I'll tell you right now,
00:32:19Cole,
00:32:20Drew McIntyre had
00:32:21better get over the fact
00:32:22that he just eliminated
00:32:23Lesnar.
00:32:24McIntyre needs to focus
00:32:25on the guys who are
00:32:26still in this match,
00:32:27such as The Miz.
00:32:28McIntyre has not
00:32:29taken his eyes off
00:32:31The Beast.
00:32:32And Miz now,
00:32:33trying to sneak in
00:32:34from behind,
00:32:35trying to go after
00:32:36McIntyre,
00:32:37but McIntyre felt him
00:32:38coming.
00:32:39Miz, the wily veteran,
00:32:40a former WWE champion
00:32:42in his own right.
00:32:43What a camp up by the
00:32:44tremendously athletic
00:32:45Drew McIntyre,
00:32:46who still will not
00:32:47take his eyes off
00:32:48the champion, Lesnar.
00:32:50Drew McIntyre said
00:32:51he was gonna main event
00:32:52WrestleMania,
00:32:53and I think he meant it.
00:32:58Good night, Miz.
00:33:02And now McIntyre
00:33:03going to eliminate
00:33:04the third individual
00:33:08here tonight.
00:33:09McIntyre, three eliminations.
00:33:11Lesnar, 13 eliminations
00:33:13as we await number 18.
00:33:15But look, Drew McIntyre
00:33:16once again staring
00:33:18a hole through The Beast.
00:33:25Drew McIntyre
00:33:26has never had a
00:33:27WWE or Universal
00:33:29Championship opportunity
00:33:30in his long WWE career.
00:33:33Well, he better win
00:33:34tonight, then.
00:33:36Trust me, you think about
00:33:37all the guys who came
00:33:38before you.
00:33:39Drew McIntyre,
00:33:40he's focused.
00:33:41He's ready.
00:33:43As Lesnar exits
00:33:44the arena.
00:33:45McIntyre is alone
00:33:46in the ring.
00:33:48Awaiting number 18
00:33:50in 10 seconds
00:33:52of the 2020
00:33:53Royal Rumble match.
00:34:05The phenomenal
00:34:06AJ Styles,
00:34:07who's had some issues
00:34:08with Drew McIntyre.
00:34:09Remember, AJ Styles
00:34:11provided us with
00:34:12one of the great
00:34:13Royal Rumble matches
00:34:14moments back in 2016
00:34:16when he appeared
00:34:17on the scene here,
00:34:18Corey, at WWE.
00:34:20Now is no time
00:34:21to focus on history.
00:34:23The Phenomenal One
00:34:24would love to step
00:34:25to the top of the mountain
00:34:26once again at WrestleMania.
00:34:29But AJ's path tonight
00:34:31runs through a very
00:34:33ready, motivated
00:34:35Drew McIntyre.
00:34:36Well, it's not about
00:34:37a wrestling match tonight.
00:34:38It's about getting that man
00:34:40over the top rope.
00:34:41It's about winning
00:34:43and I think that's
00:34:44what Drew McIntyre
00:34:45is thinking right now.
00:34:46AJ Styles,
00:34:47who accompanied the OC,
00:34:49messing up a great match
00:34:50between Orton and McIntyre
00:34:52this past Monday night.
00:34:53AJ Styles now goes
00:34:54right after Drew McIntyre
00:34:56and McIntyre sends
00:34:57Styles into the corner.
00:34:59Styles will sidestep Drew.
00:35:03Launched out to the apron.
00:35:04AJ in trouble.
00:35:05Reversing the forearm
00:35:06now looking perhaps
00:35:07for the Phenomenal Forearm.
00:35:09McIntyre ducks
00:35:10underneath it.
00:35:12Smart move.
00:35:13Kicking out the legs.
00:35:14Kicks to the hamstring
00:35:15of the much larger McIntyre.
00:35:17McIntyre though
00:35:18with a shoulder tackle.
00:35:23McIntyre trying to
00:35:24shake off the pain
00:35:25from those strong kicks
00:35:27from Styles.
00:35:28Oh, look at this.
00:35:29Wow.
00:35:30The power of McIntyre
00:35:31but a well-placed knee
00:35:33by AJ Styles.
00:35:34AJ could be looking
00:35:35for the calf crusher submission
00:35:36but I don't know how long
00:35:37that's gonna serve him
00:35:38in this particular type of matchup.
00:35:39He'll take McIntyre
00:35:40off his feet
00:35:41prevent the Claymore perhaps.
00:35:42Gotta slow the big man down.
00:35:43You gotta slow him down
00:35:44somehow.
00:35:45Oh my God.
00:35:46And just slamming Styles
00:35:47into the mat face first.
00:35:48Number 19 now
00:35:49is Dolph Ziggler.
00:35:52And for Dolph Ziggler
00:35:53an historic night as well.
00:35:54He ties Kofi Kingston
00:35:57with his 13th
00:35:58Rumble Match appearance.
00:35:59Number 2 all time.
00:36:00Kane of course
00:36:01with 17.
00:36:02The most prolific
00:36:03Rumble Match performer.
00:36:04But as we saw
00:36:05with Brock Lesnar
00:36:06the more competitors
00:36:07that are in the ring
00:36:08the harder it is
00:36:09to dominate.
00:36:10McIntyre now has to
00:36:11worry about Ziggler
00:36:12and Styles
00:36:13at once.
00:36:17From behind
00:36:18Styles
00:36:19to the back of the knee
00:36:20of McIntyre.
00:36:21Again normally
00:36:22every man for himself
00:36:23but sometimes it pays off
00:36:25to have some
00:36:26temporary alliances.
00:36:28The love affair
00:36:29is over man.
00:36:30Ziggler and McIntyre
00:36:31dispensed.
00:36:32Oh wait did you see that?
00:36:33Now Ziggler
00:36:34with a cheap shot
00:36:35to Styles.
00:36:36Ziggler who got involved
00:36:37in the Falls Count Anywhere
00:36:38match earlier tonight
00:36:39with Corbin Reigns
00:36:40and now McIntyre
00:36:41backs Dolph into the corner.
00:36:42And what a throw
00:36:43by McIntyre.
00:36:44That was
00:36:45outrageous distance
00:36:46about 3 quarters
00:36:47of the way
00:36:48across the ring.
00:36:50That is just a
00:36:51glimpse
00:36:52at what McIntyre
00:36:53is capable of.
00:36:56Wow.
00:36:57Wow.
00:36:58Look at McIntyre
00:36:59he's in great shape.
00:37:00I mean I've
00:37:01never seen him look better
00:37:02and right now
00:37:03he's just taking over.
00:37:05Wow.
00:37:06Wow.
00:37:07Number 20
00:37:092 thirds of the way
00:37:10through the rumble.
00:37:11Upcoming.
00:37:14Oh look at this
00:37:15Styles trying to hang on.
00:37:17Styles trying to hang on
00:37:18and he's going to have
00:37:19some help.
00:37:20Karl Anderson
00:37:21of the OC
00:37:22Styles friend
00:37:23heading to the ring.
00:37:24Draw couldn't have been
00:37:25any luckier for AJ.
00:37:26Styles, Styles is
00:37:27Styles in danger.
00:37:28Dumped out to the second rope
00:37:29lands on the apron.
00:37:30Styles though
00:37:31still on the apron
00:37:32of the ring as Anderson
00:37:33was able to get to McIntyre
00:37:34to help Styles stay
00:37:35involved in this match.
00:37:38You know
00:37:39there's going to be a
00:37:40who's who is getting
00:37:41a little bit more
00:37:42crowded in there.
00:37:43You don't know
00:37:44who's going to win now.
00:37:46McIntyre
00:37:47if you ask him
00:37:48will tell you
00:37:49he's gone for that
00:37:50super kick.
00:37:51Beautiful.
00:37:52Talking about alliances.
00:37:53This is a smart alliance.
00:37:54You want to eliminate
00:37:55the biggest man
00:37:56in the matchup
00:37:57which is McIntyre.
00:37:58There he goes.
00:37:59McIntyre now
00:38:00Anderson now
00:38:01AJ Styles and Ziggler
00:38:02all trying to eliminate
00:38:03Drew McIntyre.
00:38:04But well
00:38:05Styles went right after
00:38:07it was odd
00:38:08and now into Anderson
00:38:09and Anderson with a
00:38:10spine buster.
00:38:13This is where egos
00:38:14can be detrimental
00:38:15in a matchup like this.
00:38:19All alliances
00:38:20are found to be
00:38:21temporary in a Royal
00:38:22Rumble match but
00:38:23look at this
00:38:24Dolph Ziggler now
00:38:25in danger of being
00:38:26eliminated.
00:38:27Even when you
00:38:28form an alliance
00:38:29you're still looking
00:38:30over your back
00:38:31and you still got
00:38:32one eye over your
00:38:33shoulder.
00:38:34And now
00:38:35Dolph hanging on
00:38:36both feet did not
00:38:37hit the floor
00:38:38and now Anderson
00:38:39with a kick right
00:38:40to the face.
00:38:41Carl Anderson
00:38:42trying to eliminate
00:38:43Ziggler from this
00:38:44Rumble match
00:38:45and in 10 seconds
00:38:46entry number 21
00:38:47in the Royal Rumble.
00:38:48Dolph back into the
00:38:49ring.
00:38:50Styles as well.
00:38:51Who's it going to be?
00:38:56No.
00:38:57No way.
00:38:59Oh my!
00:39:02You got to be
00:39:03kidding me.
00:39:05The Rated-R Superstar!
00:39:09Edge is here!
00:39:35It's been nine long
00:39:36years.
00:39:37Edge who retired in
00:39:382011.
00:39:39After triple fusion
00:39:40neck surgery.
00:39:41Edge is back.
00:39:42He's going to be in
00:39:43there.
00:39:44Wow!
00:39:45Wow!
00:39:46Edge with a spear!
00:39:47How long have you
00:39:48been in the ring?
00:39:49I've been in the ring
00:39:50since I was
00:39:5115.
00:39:52I've been in the ring
00:39:53since I was
00:39:5416.
00:39:55I've been in the ring
00:39:56since I was
00:39:5717.
00:39:58I've been in the ring
00:39:59since I was
00:40:0018.
00:40:01I've been in the ring
00:40:02since I was
00:40:0319.
00:40:04How long did you
00:40:05say gone?
00:40:06Nine years.
00:40:07Edge looked great.
00:40:08McIntyre bounced
00:40:09off the knee of
00:40:10Edge and Edge now
00:40:11in position again
00:40:12with a spear to
00:40:13McIntyre!
00:40:23Now this is a
00:40:24Royal Rumble
00:40:25moment.
00:40:29The man who won
00:40:30the 2010
00:40:31Royal Rumble
00:40:32match.
00:40:33You can see it in
00:40:34Edge's eyes.
00:40:35The moment just
00:40:36got very real.
00:40:37Styles!
00:40:38Oh, man!
00:40:39A Pele kick.
00:40:40Right over the neck.
00:40:41Drops Edge to
00:40:42his knee.
00:40:43AJ is not here
00:40:44for any nostalgia
00:40:45tonight.
00:40:46Spear by Edge!
00:40:49A spear fest
00:40:50at the Rumble!
00:40:55If opportunity
00:40:56is the name of
00:40:57the game, you are
00:40:58looking at the
00:40:59ultimate opportunist.
00:41:00What a moment,
00:41:01guys.
00:41:02What a moment here
00:41:03in the Rumble.
00:41:05An 11-time
00:41:06world champion.
00:41:07A former king
00:41:08of the ring.
00:41:09The first ever
00:41:10Money in the Bank
00:41:11ladder match winner.
00:41:15I didn't think
00:41:16he'd make it back!
00:41:17King Corbin
00:41:18is back!
00:41:20Thank goodness.
00:41:22The king.
00:41:24We lost a
00:41:25Falls Count Anywhere
00:41:26matchup, but a
00:41:27brutal match earlier
00:41:28tonight with Roman Reigns.
00:41:29We all just had
00:41:30fun, but now it's
00:41:31time for the winner
00:41:32to arrive.
00:41:33Number 22, King
00:41:34Corbin, and he goes
00:41:35right after Edge
00:41:36in the corner, and
00:41:37he's got Dolph
00:41:38Ziggler, one of his
00:41:39buddies in the ring,
00:41:40to help him out.
00:41:41I like everything
00:41:42about King Corbin.
00:41:44Well, you're the
00:41:45only one.
00:41:46And here's Corbin
00:41:47now.
00:41:48Oh, and a
00:41:49backbreaker chokeslam
00:41:50as the knee is
00:41:51driven to the
00:41:52spine of Anderson.
00:41:55This is an
00:41:56inspiring performance
00:41:57by King Corbin.
00:41:58Wait a minute, what
00:41:59are you talking about?
00:42:00Inspiring performance.
00:42:01Brock Lesnar lasted
00:42:0226 minutes, 23 seconds
00:42:03and eliminated 13
00:42:04people.
00:42:05King Corbin was
00:42:06assaulted by Roman
00:42:07Reigns earlier tonight
00:42:08and still hasn't got
00:42:09the bravery to come
00:42:10out here and attempt
00:42:11to lead WWE to
00:42:12WrestleMania.
00:42:14And now McIntyre,
00:42:15McIntyre trying to
00:42:16eliminate Dolph Ziggler.
00:42:17McIntyre looking for
00:42:18his fourth elimination
00:42:19of the night.
00:42:20Ziggler hanging on
00:42:21for dear life right
00:42:22now, but King
00:42:23Corbin saving his
00:42:24buddy.
00:42:26He is but a
00:42:27benevolent king.
00:42:30AJ Styles
00:42:31over the top rope.
00:42:32AJ eliminated.
00:42:33AJ was
00:42:34eliminated by
00:42:35Edge.
00:42:38Did not expect
00:42:39that.
00:42:40I mean, a lot of
00:42:41good money was on
00:42:42AJ to win this
00:42:43thing.
00:42:45Right now, Edge
00:42:46back in the corner
00:42:47surveying the scene.
00:42:48Number 23
00:42:49will be on
00:42:50his way.

00:43:09named the Brozer
00:43:10Weights with a
00:43:11Pete Dunne.

00:43:27demeanor.
00:43:29Riddle in no

00:43:35Mixed martial
00:43:36arts background.

00:43:49A lot of
00:43:50presence felt
00:43:51here tonight.
00:43:52Been a great
00:43:53night for NXT.
00:43:54You saw
00:43:55Bianca Belair's
00:43:56performance in the
00:43:57Women's Rumble
00:43:58earlier on.
00:43:59Bang!
00:44:00And now
00:44:01Edge goes after
00:44:02Riddle and
00:44:03Riddle now.
00:44:04Whoa!
00:44:05Wow!
00:44:06Rick
00:44:07Courtney.
00:44:08This is not
00:44:09about nostalgia
00:44:10tonight with these
00:44:11guys.
00:44:12I mean Edge

00:48:21Orton
00:48:222014, Reigns dumped 12 men over the top rope.
00:48:29And now takes the fight to McIntyre.
00:48:32Could Drew McIntyre be the next one?
00:48:35I don't know smart money is on both of these guys right here.
00:48:37Brock Lesnar was number one, number two was Drew McIntyre, and
00:48:41number three was Roman Reigns.
00:48:42Look at this relentless assault now.
00:48:44Wow. Big chop by McIntyre to Reigns in the corner.
00:48:47Roman Reigns just walked out of the corner after that chop.
00:48:51Reigns just shrugged off a hellacious knife edge chop.
00:48:55You know Reigns has won a Rumble, he's also been runner up three times.
00:48:59Great performer in the Rumble.
00:49:00Number 27, the slot goes to KO Kevin Owens,
00:49:05who's been in a miserable mood as of late on Monday Night Raw.
00:49:12And number 27 is where more winners have come in a Royal Rumble match than any
00:49:16other number.
00:49:17And Owens driving McIntyre back into the corner now goes right after Randy Orton.
00:49:24Owens unleashing all of his recent frustrations.
00:49:27No shortage of opponents to do it to.
00:49:29Clear the deck, cannonball coming through.
00:49:32And Owens loves Houston, Texas.
00:49:34He won his only Universal Championship here a few years ago.
00:49:38Talk about a guy that needs to win to a big win like this, Kevin Owens.
00:49:41Powerbomb.
00:49:44And now Owens kicked right to the face of Reigns.
00:49:47Here goes Reigns.
00:49:49Went for the pop-up powerbomb, Reigns able to leapfrog.
00:49:52Stunner.
00:49:53Wow.
00:49:55Keep your eyes on the Apex Predator.
00:49:58Orton stalking Kevin Owens.
00:50:06And now a stunner to Orton.
00:50:07Bringing back memories of the Rumble's only three-time winner,
00:50:12Stone Cold Steve Austin.
00:50:14Kevin Owens looking to eliminate Edge.
00:50:16Spoil the return of the Rated-R Superstar.
00:50:19Edge is in trouble.
00:50:20Edge gotta get heavy right here, gotta make his body a little bit heavy.
00:50:23Number 28 now is gonna make his way to the ring from Monday Night Raw.
00:50:30Aleister Black.
00:50:35The Royal Rumble environment could be great for Aleister Black.
00:50:37A very, very proficient striker can turn the lights out with one kick.
00:50:43And Black goes right after Kevin Owens.
00:50:47Big shot by Owens.
00:50:50Black now off the second row, will land on his feet.
00:50:54The unorthodox style of Aleister Black.
00:50:56Now Edge from behind.
00:50:58Standing switch by Aleister Black.
00:51:00Here comes Edge.
00:51:01And ran right into it.
00:51:02Big knee, Edge dropped.
00:51:03McIntyre from behind.
00:51:05You've never seen Aleister Black in a match like this with so many guys out there.
00:51:09McIntyre with a Glasgow kiss right to the face of Black.
00:51:12And runs right into it.
00:51:15Fade to Black.
00:51:18Educated feet, man.
00:51:20McIntyre dropped.
00:51:22Everyone's down except for Black.
00:51:25Take a look at this.
00:51:27Bang.
00:51:27Such precision, such impact, and so sudden.
00:51:32McIntyre's lights are still out.
00:51:33Randy Orton rolled to the outside, underneath the bottom row.
00:51:41P and Edge both still active participants in this matchup.
00:51:44Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens doing battle.
00:51:47And someone else is about to join the fray.
00:51:50Number 29.
00:51:52Wow.
00:51:53We're almost there, guys.
00:51:54I love it.
00:51:59Samoa Joe.
00:52:00Had a great Rumble last year.
00:52:04Lasted nearly a half an hour.
00:52:06Booker T at number 29.
00:52:08How on earth do you bet against Samoa Joe?
00:52:10I mean, you can.
00:52:11I mean, Samoa Joe, that's another guy that's just looking for
00:52:15that one big breakout moment.
00:52:17This could be it, the Royal Rumble.
00:52:19Of course, he's formed this alliance with Kevin Owens on Monday Night Raw.
00:52:23Reigns and Orton now in the corner.
00:52:24Samoa Joe looking to eliminate and wipe everybody out.
00:52:27Yeah, but Samoa Joe nor Kevin Owens are gonna help the other get to WrestleMania
00:52:31tonight.
00:52:32This is about the Royal Rumble and a title opportunity.
00:52:34Joe sidestep runs into an elbow by Black.
00:52:36There's a big step up kick by Joe.
00:52:41Now, meanwhile, on the other side, you see Drew McIntyre trying to eliminate Orton.
00:52:47Orton, though, lands back on his feet.
00:52:49Now, Owen with a poke to the eyes, cannonball in the corner.
00:52:53Kevin Owens sacrificing his own body to injure his opponents.
00:52:58Edge still in the match.
00:53:00Hang on.
00:53:01So much for those alliances that you mentioned earlier, Corey.
00:53:08Joe and Kevin Owens going at it, center of the ring.
00:53:13And KO.
00:53:15Wow, inverted atomic drop by Samoa Joe.
00:53:17Number 30's coming, the last entry in the 2020 Royal Rumble.
00:53:22Is it too late to change my pick?
00:53:31Well, last year's Royal Rumble winner, Seth Rollins, is flanked by his new team.
00:53:37The Monday Night Messiah has Buddy Murphy in AOP walking out to the ring with him.
00:53:42This is as close to bulletproof as a competitor can possibly be.
00:53:47Last year, Rollins won this very match all on his own.
00:53:50Now, the Monday Night Messiah has returned to claim what's his.
00:53:54He's already the Raw Tag Team Champion with Buddy Murphy after a shocking victory
00:53:59this past Monday night.
00:54:01It's only shocking if you don't understand how amazing the Messiah can be.
00:54:05Say what you want to say about Seth Rollins.
00:54:07He got backup, but he don't mind getting into a fight.
00:54:10And Joe and Kevin Owens went underneath the pole rope, so
00:54:12they're still in this matchup.
00:54:13And they go right after AOP, Buddy Murphy and Seth Rollins, and
00:54:16the chaos of the brawl is on.
00:54:18This has been brewing for weeks and weeks and weeks on Monday Night Raw.
00:54:21All coming to a head here tonight in Houston.
00:54:23We got pandemonium at ringside, and look at Seth Rollins.
00:54:27There will be no more entries into this matchup.
00:54:30Seth Rollins was number 30, now they drag Edge under the bottom rope.
00:54:33Edge is still in the match, but driven into the barricade.
00:54:36Orton still in the match as well.
00:54:37AOP having their way with Orton.
00:54:39And AOP, Murphy, and Rollins running roughshod over everyone.
00:54:43And Randy Orton now.
00:54:45Randy Orton just eliminated for the moment.
00:54:48Courtesy of AOP, stomp to Drew McIntyre in the middle of the ring.
00:54:54Randy Orton placed right into my lap here at ringside.
00:54:57But Randy Orton is still in this match, ladies and gentlemen.
00:55:00Not eliminated literally from the match, but from the equation at the moment.
00:55:04Rollins now- He's still in this match.
00:55:06Booker's checking on Randy to make sure he's okay.
00:55:08Randy came flying across there and now- Stomp.
00:55:11Rollins with a stomp in the middle of the ring.
00:55:13The big dog has been stomped by his once upon a time brother, Seth Rollins.
00:55:19He's got a wickle.
00:55:21Aleister Black now, trying to restore some order to the outside.
00:55:25Orton could be hurt bad, guys, but the fact remains,
00:55:29Rollins continues to dominate, but Aleister lands a high kick.
00:55:36And Buddy Murphy once again paying dividends.
00:55:39Well, and remember, all this is legal,
00:55:41because there is no disqualification in a Royal Rumble match.
00:55:44Eliminated is Black now by Rollins.
00:55:47You guys all right after all that?
00:55:49Yeah.
00:55:52Seth Rollins can taste victory, can taste another Wrestle- Stunner.
00:55:57Another WrestleMania headline.
00:56:00Can you imagine if Owens eliminates Rollins?
00:56:02Caught by AOP.
00:56:03Wow. Rollins' feet did not hit the floor.
00:56:05Wow. Rollins is still in this matchup.
00:56:07Yeah, but that's the best insurance policy I have ever seen.
00:56:11Aikman, Rezar, and there goes Owens, eliminated by Rollins,
00:56:16thanks to the help of the AOP.
00:56:18Uh-oh, night-night, Seth.
00:56:20Coquina Clutch.
00:56:21In the middle of the ring right now.
00:56:26And Buddy Murphy, come on now, this is ridiculous.
00:56:28Seth Rollins tag team championship partner.
00:56:31Wow.
00:56:32Tag by Joe, Rollins from behind, eliminates Joe.
00:56:36Owens and Joe eliminated by Rollins.
00:56:41McIntyre, Rollins, Reigns, and now Samoa Joe gonna take on his anger on Buddy Murphy.
00:56:48And now AOP, and Aleister Black's in the mix, and Buddy Murphy, and
00:56:52Owens is back, and there is a brawl at ringside again.
00:56:56It has broken down, six competitors all trying to destroy one another.
00:57:00Well, somebody better get some security out here, or
00:57:03officials, or somebody to separate these guys.
00:57:06Owens, Black, Samoa Joe, all eliminated from the Rumble match, and
00:57:10none of the other guys were even involved.
00:57:12And Rollins is going, where are you going, guys?
00:57:16He's losing all his allies.
00:57:18Yeah, the insurance policy just checked out.
00:57:20AOP and Buddy Murphy, who's helped Rollins eliminate some men in this matchup,
00:57:26including Owens and Joe.
00:57:29Edge slowly making his way back into the ring.
00:57:33Randy Orton as well has not been eliminated.
00:57:36Randy Orton is still in this match.
00:57:38Edge, McIntyre, Orton, Reigns, Rollins is in the middle.
00:57:44And the Monday Night Messiah may need a prayer right now.
00:57:46Rollins saying, hey, Roman,
00:57:51remember our days in the Shield?
00:57:57Get rid of these guys, slow it down, come down here to us, we can do this, all right?
00:58:04We'll try to save you.
00:58:06You and me, you and me, come on, please.
00:58:18Superman punch.
00:58:21You got your answer, Seth.
00:58:28What a power slam by Orton.
00:58:30Right now, the Monday Night Messiah is dinner in a den of hungry wolves.
00:58:34Let's call a moment right here, Corey.
00:58:37Claymore.
00:58:38Call the Claymore kickbook.
00:58:42And Seth Rollins dumped over the top rope.
00:58:45That is the fifth elimination by Drew McIntyre.
00:58:48We are now down to the final four men in the 2020 Royal Rumble.
00:58:52Randy Orton, a two-time winner.
00:58:55Roman Reigns, who's won this event.
00:58:57Edge, who's won this event, and returns here tonight.
00:59:00And Drew McIntyre, who's never won the Rumble match.
00:59:03All four squaring off for an opportunity to main event WrestleMania.
00:59:07McIntyre promised that he was gonna go to WrestleMania main event, that event.
00:59:12So you gotta wonder.
00:59:14Rated RKO, plotting some strategy.
00:59:17We've seen them work together earlier tonight to eliminate the OC.
00:59:20Now they go after Reigns and Drew McIntyre.
00:59:22Better the devil you know than the one that you don't.
00:59:26Edge into the corner, McIntyre hammering away on the Hall of Famer.
00:59:30Roman Reigns sent to the post, shoulder first.
00:59:34Backbreaker from Orton.
00:59:36The Big Dog is down.
00:59:39Now from behind, goes after McIntyre.
00:59:41One thing about Randy Orton, Randy Orton, he may not have one strategy,
00:59:47but he knows how to win, more importantly than anything.
00:59:52RKO by Orton.
00:59:53Much like what happened Monday night on Raw.
00:59:58Edge waiting for
01:00:03McIntyre, there's a spear by Edge.
01:00:21You're Edge and Orton, you get rid of McIntyre,
01:00:25get rid of Reigns and bring it down to just you two.
01:00:29Double RKO.
01:00:32That had to take everything out of Drew McIntyre.
01:00:37I still can't believe that we are seeing Edge in this Royal Rumble match tonight.
01:00:44And as one of the final four men, Edge is the one that's going to
01:00:49be the next to take it, as one of the final four men.
01:00:53Boy, don't trust a snake.
01:00:55And there's Edge.
01:00:57Edge.
01:00:58Edge.
01:01:01Eliminate Orton.
01:01:02And there's Orton,
01:01:06Orton, Orton, Orton, Orton,
01:01:12Orton, Orton, Orton, Orton,
01:01:17Edge, Edge, eliminate Orton.
01:01:20Strike the Viper before he strikes you.
01:01:23You want to try and outplay me, I've been around too long, kid, too long.
01:01:28And now we are down to three.
01:01:33And Orton, Orton's frustrated because he should have known better.
01:01:40I mean, he fell for one of the oldest tricks in the book.
01:01:44Reigns, Edge, and McIntyre, all that remain.
01:01:48One of these three men is going to main event WrestleMania.
01:01:52You are the champion, you are the champion, you are the champion.
01:01:59Corey, this is one of those matches you play on 2K, you make up a fantasy match.
01:02:03Reigns versus Edge, you get to see it here tonight, live at the Royal Rumble.
01:02:07There is no way in the world I thought I would see this.
01:02:11And look at Edge and Reigns unloading blows on each other.
01:02:14And a big right hand.
01:02:16Big uppercut.
01:02:17Superman punch.
01:02:18It's a new deal right here, it's nine years removed.
01:02:24It's a new game.
01:02:26Yeah, and there's a new dog running the yard.
01:02:36And he's trying to pull himself back to his feet.
01:02:37Roman Reigns is in position and ready.
01:02:40Wait for the spear, Edge able to leap down.
01:02:43Spear of his own.
01:02:45Will Edge do it?
01:02:46Is Edge gonna eliminate Roman Reigns?
01:02:49Roman over the top rope, just hangs on.
01:02:51Reigns just hangs on.
01:02:54Keep the pressure on, Edge, keep the pressure on.
01:02:56Reigns has gotta get back in the ring.
01:02:58Edge now caught, big kick to the midsection by Roman Reigns.
01:03:03Reigns now struggling to get Edge over the top rope.
01:03:05Edge in trouble.
01:03:06Is Edge gonna be able to survive?
01:03:07Roman Reigns gonna eliminate Edge, both men now on the apron.
01:03:11Both men battling exhaustion this deep into a matchup.
01:03:14Reigns already competed once tonight.
01:03:15Critical moment here.
01:03:16Reigns and Edge exchanging blows out on the apron.
01:03:19Which one of these men is gonna teeter?
01:03:21Which one of these men is gonna fall to the floor below and be eliminated?
01:03:26Edge just hanging on barely.
01:03:28And Edge is eliminated by Roman Reigns.
01:03:30Wow.
01:03:35We are down to two.
01:03:37Edge lasted 25 minutes in this matchup.
01:03:40Roman Reigns with the right hand of McIntyre.
01:03:43Went for the Superman Punch and connected.
01:03:45McIntyre down to one knee.
01:03:46We're down to two men.
01:03:47The final men in the Rumble.
01:03:48Here we go.
01:03:49Roman Reigns gonna eliminate Drew McIntyre with his second Rumble.
01:03:52Very few men have won more than one.
01:03:54Roman Reigns looking to join the elite here tonight.
01:03:57Wow, there's a lot of power, but- Claymore, Claymore by McIntyre.
01:04:03McIntyre, wow, Drew McIntyre's going to WrestleMania.
01:04:08Here is your winner, Drew McIntyre.
01:04:18All I can say is, it is about damn time.
01:04:26Drew McIntyre has never had an opportunity at a WWE or Universal Championship.
01:04:34He's going to get his chance after winning the Royal Rumble.
01:04:37And there's a standing ovation at Minute Maid Park, and deservedly so.
01:04:42Over 40,000 fans standing in appreciation for Drew McIntyre.
01:04:49What an effort.
01:04:51For the first time ever, Drew McIntyre wins the Royal Rumble.
01:04:58But it was really, as I mentioned before,
01:05:00a story of two Royal Rumble matches tonight.
01:05:04Brock Lesnar, the WWE Champion, entered at number one.
01:05:08Lesnar had eliminated 13 men before Ricochet and
01:05:12then McIntyre would take out the Beast.
01:05:15And this seemed to propel Drew McIntyre's momentum that he would
01:05:20hold on to throughout the night in the closing moments.
01:05:23Just when it looked like the Big Dog was headed to WrestleMania,
01:05:27a Claymore to the chin of Roman Reigns.
01:05:31And Drew McIntyre has finally earned the opportunity that has eluded him for
01:05:3713 years, an opportunity to become champion at WrestleMania.
01:05:43A few short years ago, you never, ever would believe that Drew McIntyre
01:05:48would be main eventing WrestleMania.
01:05:49And that is where Drew McIntyre is heading, to WrestleMania.
01:05:56A man who was once fired from WWE and fought, and
01:06:00he fought hard to get back in this company, to get back to WWE.
01:06:04And now Drew McIntyre is on top of the mountain.
