[MUSIC] Introducing intrict number one,
our comedy cline Paul Heyman, he is the WWE champion Brock Lesnar. >> Ladies and gentlemen,
this is unprecedented tonight. Never before in history is the champion
declared That he would enter the Royal Rumble Match at number one,
but Brock Lesnar has done just that. And my question to you is this,
Booker, if you're Brock Lesnar, why? >> I mean, come on, I mean Here to make
history attempts to go to WrestleMania. With that chance being that guy, common. >> I think at this point in his career, Brock Lesnar doesn't need to
prove anything to anyone. But in the beast mind, this is the final
thing that he has left to prove in WWE. >> Remember the winner of the Royal Rumble
back Match will main event WrestleMania. [MUSIC] [APPLAUSE]
>> You see the stoic look of confidence on the face of the WWE champion Brock Lesnar,
ready for a battle, a test of endurance he's not
even experienced in the past. >> Brock Lesnar won the royal
rumble match back in 2003. >> Let's see who he will square off with
to start the Royal Rumble match tonight. [MUSIC] >> [APPLAUSE] >> Hello, I am Elias! [MUSIC] Yeah! >> Houston, we have a problem. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> But Elias is here to solve it, see. In the ring we've got a brain-dead
gorilla, and his fat zookeeper. They don't seem to understand that
there's a truth that you cannot deny. It is a universal truth that I'm sure
everyone here knows that WWE stands for. >> World wrestling entertainment
>> WWE stands for >> World wrestling entertainment Sing it baby [LAUGH]
>> [APPLAUSE] >> They're singing for me Brock, did you here that and now I'm gonna sing for you. A little song called sacrificial lamb. And it would help me a lot. If y'all could clap along. [MUSIC] Attack keep your damn mouth shut. I'll smash the guitar. Baby Brock Lesnar. Read Dr. Elias
>> Lesnar is in tense this was not a smart move paid site the beast Elias
>> And analyze him to the rank of the first two manuals dr Royal Rumble
match for 2020 unless you're gonna take down and hammering away on Elias
>> Because the time they entertain it's a time to be serious. Right now Elias is not focused. >> Brock Lesnar is however Elias, who
began last year's rumble at number one, it didn't last long maybe on
the same fate here tonight and I bet suplex space city is becoming
Suplex City wasn't some could say that what Brock Lesnar is attempting
to do is beyond confidence. It's downright arrogance. However, if anyone in WWE possesses
the skill set necessary to achieve this feat number one, and winning
the Royal Rumble, it is Brock Lesnar, the greatest combat athlete in sports. >> My god. A spy. >> Talking about playing a tune. That is what the Beast is all about. >> Now Elias gonna write a new song
about that time I jumped head fast into a middragon,becasue that's
what this is all about. >> There goes Elais,
>> Elias limited by Brock Lesnar
>> You can't just coming out here playing games that get y'all hope everybody
in the locker room took note. >> I don't know how you
can't take note I mean, there you see Heyman showing
everybody what this is all about. This is what Brock Lesnar is all about. The WWE champion. And in eight more seconds,
entry number three. >> We'll see if somebody else has a new
tactic try to get the beast into coming off this game, Elias tried but
[INAUDIBLE] [SOUND] [MUSIC] [LAUGH]
>> And for Monday Night Raw, Erick Rowan. And still carrying that thing,
whatever it is, it has been growing over the past couple
of weeks and just drives him insane. >> I'm not really worried about what's in
the cage, I'm more excited about Mafia manic humanity about to be in
the ring with only two competitors. >> Look at the size of both of these guys. >> Yerah yeah checkout the power walk. That's a man that's looking
to cause some trouble. >> Rowan entering his third Rumble match. Brock Lesnar quckily,
up to hthe waist lock and Eric Rowan caught him in the-
>> The elbow eliminated. >> By
>> Block Leicester has eliminated the first two men he has faced in
the Royal Runble match tonight. >> And dare I say, it looks easy, Eric Rowan was only in the ring for
eight seconds. >> As Heyman continues to gloat with the WWE Championship,
>> Just think about it Brock Lesnar is used very very little
energy in these two guys right here. >> You're right Booker. I mean this this game is all
about endurance tonight. Lesnar had 29 others. >> Superstars at this point has
already been taken care of two of them >> He making an easy night. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Entry Number four >> Just think about it. Brock Lesnar just had
about 20 seconds to rest. >> Next victim, please. And for the second time in his career, it's
>> Robert Roode entering the Royal Rumble match. With Robert Roode is a veteran. He's always very confident,
very cagey inside the ring. But there's got to be some trepidation
in the mind of Robert Roode, realizing when he's about
to experience he saw. Getting close to the Falls Count
anywhere match earlier tonight between Roman Reigns and pick Corbin and
Roode not in a hurry. Theory to make it to the ring,
and do you blame him? >> Look, normally you come out number
four there's still a lot of action going on in the ring. He's all on his own right
now with Brock Lesnar. >> Theory trying to figure out what do I
do to To survive at least until the next competitor comes out. Drew ducks underneath,
right hand s to Brock, now trying to drive the WWE champion back. Brock quickly kick to the mid section. Grips him into the corner and
Robert Roode caught him in the nose. >> Drew trying to rely on his quickness
>> What a close [INAUDIBLE]. Wow! >> [NOISE]
>> Good rival has to keep these guys real close to the body tonight. My goodness! >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Brock Lesnar has been glorious in his own right so
far tonight. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Now The Beast just stalking his prey and Robert Root set
over the top rope and out of the ring. >> Wow.
>> Brock Lesnar has eliminated three men. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> And once again, Heyman happy to gloat. >> Hey guys, can you remember the last
time something like this happened, where the first entry is
still all at number five? >> He never has no precedent. >> And a champion never voluntarily
entered much less than number one. >> [SOUND]
>> Now entering at number five, the man who returned to Friday Night
SmackDown a couple of weeks ago for the first time in eight years,
John Morrison. >> This could be very interesting. We always talk about John Morrison and
his parkour style, his ability to utilize his environment. Hopefully Morrison has a completely
different game plan for Lesnar than anybody we've seen thus far. >> I think the best game plan,
right then just to stall, try to wait on somebody else to come out. >> For that point John Morrison has more
experience with the rumble matches than the previous three men who tried to
get to the ring and face Brocks. This is Morrison seventh
rumble of parents. >> Wow! Morrison tried to catch him with a kick. Now, the quickness of Morrison. And Brock Lesnar sends
John Morrison over the top rope. >> Four eliminations for The Beast. Nine seconds,
John Morrison was in the ring. This has been an incredible I don't
know dominating performance so far, for Brock Lesnar. >> Talking about history, this might be the shortest Royal Rumble
in the history of Royal Rumble guys. >> You're absolutely right Booker look at
this, inhuman power possessed by Lesnar. >> Ain't a parkour, worked out for it. >> Yeah. >> [LAUGH]
>> He landed on his face instead, but still a much shorter night than he
would've liked for John Morrison. >> I say about all these flippy guys, man, I mean you got a guy like Brock Lesnar
who's a ground and pound type of guy. Just take note, that's the guy that's
working in the main event every night. >> Paul Heyman very happy with his client. And again, Brock continues to rest. Now we will wait number six. The number six entry in The Royal Rumble. He got 30 seconds of rest right there but
30 seconds. >> [SOUND]
>> Well actually about 85 into 90 seconds but on the last. >> Well this is interesting. Kofi Kingstone. And he has a chance now at
Retribution because remember, Kofi Kingston lost to Brock Lesnar
in about four seconds. Dropping the WWE Championship to him
on the debut of Friday night Smackdown on Fox back in October. And Corey, he hasn't had
a chance to get back to prime. >> I've been very open and
honest he thought, he doubted himself in the past but
Kingstone is all business now. >> Kingstone with a kick to the midsection
and here comes Kofi Kingston. Kingstone going after The Beast,
look at Kofi go. Picked up by Brock and
driven into the corner. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> This is a history making appearance for Kofi Kingston. He's now tied for second in Royal Rumble
history with thirteen appearances. >> We know Kingston has a history of
making magic in the Royal Rumble matches. Kingston's gonna need some magic tonight. >> Turn the suplex. >> He's gonna have to disappear. [LAUGH] He gonna needs some help. >> Make himself invincible right but
Booker? >> [LAUGH]
>> Brock Lesnar just continuing to pummel the competition. >> And that was one of the Kofi learned
anything from that last thought by just running in there. Same thing here man. I think a little too overzealous. >> And he did get some
shots in on Brock early but Brock Lesnar with a big
old smile on his face. Look into to eliminate Kofi Kingston. Number seven entry will get into
this match up in five seconds. >> Is Kofi gonna make it to full
distance here, or in between? But.
>> [SOUND] >> He does. [MUSIC] And number seven, Rey Mysterio, who has
his own score to settle with The Beast. >> Flay of history, flay of bad blood
between It will be Rey Mysterio and The Beast opponent. >> Rey Mysterio has not forgotten,
what Brock Lesnar did to his son Dominic, in a physical abuse that
he put Dominic through. And Mysterio now matches to the ring. It will be Kingston Mysterio and
Lesnar in the Ramble match. >> Tell right now, Rey Mysterio better be
very careful riding in the Brock Lesnar he's not gonna take any pity on him for
any reasons in a match like this. >> Rey Mysterio-
>> He's going down low to the kneel of Brock Lesnar, but
Brock Lesnar just shoves Mysterio away. >> Lesnar has quite simply
overwhelmed every superstar that stepped in the ring with him tonight. >> Rey Mysterio the man who won
the 2006 Royal Rumble Match. When he entered number two
lasted over one hour and two minutes the longest ever and
a 30 man Rumble match. >> Guys right now Brock Lesnar is
Beast handling two former world's champions at the same time simultaneously. This is unprecedented. This is unbelievable. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Brock Lesnar checked in at number one for a reason, they want to show
everybody in the locker room that hey, this is what you gotta deal with. >> Yeah,
because he's questioned a lot whether or not he is the fighting champion. Brock Lesnar showing that he is tonight. >> And I think Paul Heyman-
>> What a supplex. >> Woods.
>> Wow! >> Made a lot of superstars angry that
Lesnar didn't feel that anyone was worthy to challenge for his WWE Championship, but to this point, all Lesnar has done
is prove Heyman exactly right. >> Two men with a lot of experience in
rumble matches in the ring with Lesnar, Kofi and third team is scary at 11,
what a German suplex by Lesnar >> [APPLAUSE] >> Brock Lesnar is making this look easy. >> This is an honest question, if
Brock Lesnar wins this Royal Rumble Match, does the Beast even bother defending
the WWE Championship or WrestleMania? >> Great question, Corey. >> I want to say Brock Lesnar's put
himself in a position to write his own ticket by winning
the Royal Rumble tonight. >> [SOUND]
>> It's a new day, yes it is. >> Well Kofi gets some backup. Big E the near 300 pounder gonna mark to
the ring of the seventh rumble appearance. >> I wanna see this. >> Big E and Kofi the current
Smackdown Tag Team Champions. Mysterio and Kingston. Big E manages little assistance
>> New day team mate. Kofi Kingston, Rey Mysterio. >> Big E rallying the troops. >> This is great strategy. >> Yeah, three-on-one situation. Normally, it's every man for himself. But you gotta go after The Beast and
try to eliminate Lesnar. Kingston, Big E, Mysterio and
Brock Lesnar fights out of it. And Brock goes right after Big E. Trouble in Paradise. >> As tough as Brock is that the end
game is the three guys against one who always wins? Big E looking for-
>> He's gonna do it. >> He got The beast out off his feet. Big E bang headed Lesnar. You can tell Brock is getting
a little fatigued right now, guys. >> This area code has changed to 619. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Brock's in trouble. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> And look at this now, Mysterio! >> No! >> Eliminated. >> Elimination number five by Lesnar,
did you see that athleticism? >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Big E eliminated! Number six! >> Unbelievable. >> I don't know what Brock Lesnar found
that Dearing but, I sense fatigue but obviously I was wrong. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Brock Lesnar has eliminated six men so far in this Royal Rumble match
>> You look at the, The universe everybody is in shock right now
>> Keep the tally going. >> And Kingston is eliminated,
seven eliminations for Lesnar. >> Good night, Kofi Kingston. >> The record's 13 by Strawman,
Lesnar's almost halfway there, he's more than halfway there. >> Brock Lesnar just took on
an assault from the reigning Smackdown Tag Team Champions,
and Ray Mysterio. [SOUND] This is gonna be interesting. >> And the man who we always say pound for pound is more powerful
than anybody in WWE. The Swiss Superman Cesaro,
entering at number nine, heads into the ring to square
off with Brock Lesnar. Cesaro trying to do what no one else has
been able to, eliminate the WWE Champion. >> Uppercuts-
>> See that the knee right there right to the solar plexus. >> And Lesner now,
what a suplex to Cesaro. Cesaro back to his feet and
Cesaro eliminated! >> Man that knee was debilitating, man. You get caught right there it
just take everything out of you. >> Brock Lesnar has been in
this match over 13 minutes and he has eliminated every
single man who has entered. Eight eliminations for the beast. >> Cesaro connected flush with
about a dozen upper cuts. [APPLAUSE]
>> And Lesnar just ate each one, smiled, and kneed Cesaro in the liver. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> And again, a rest period for Brock Lesnar. >> We've said for years and
years anything can happen in WWE, but I never in a million years imagined
that this would be a true possibility. It's one thing to have bravado,
it's one thing for Paul Heyman to make a ridiculous claim. >> We are watching something
we've never seen happen before. >> Cory, 33 Rumbles,
this has never happened. [SOUND] Entering at number
10 Shelton Benjamin. This is really interesting, the former college teammate at
the University of Minnesota. Longtime friends,
longtime training partners, Shelton Benjamin and Brock Lesnar. >> Feel a little bad for Shelton in
this position right here right now. Yeah, but he's a veteran, Booker,
ten Royal Rumble appearances. Certainly a healthy level of respect
between these two athletes, but I got sort of a stupid question. Does Brock take it
a little easy on Shelton? >> No. >> And if Shelton expects Brock to
take it anything less than 100%- >> I am so happy to see you. I want you to reunite with Brock Lesnar. >> Heymann invited Shelton in for
a hug, now he can stab him in the back. >> Don't fall for that Shelton. >> [LAUGH]
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Former college teammates reunited here tonight. [APPLAUSE] >> Did Lesnar find an ally? This isn't a bad decision by Brock. [APPLAUSE]
>> As they await now, entry number 11 into the Royal Rumble match and Brock
Lesnar with a German supplex to Benjamin. Brock Lesnar, turning on his friend, and he eliminates Benjamin,
the ninth elimination of this match. >> Lesnar.
>> And Lesnar is laughing about it. >> How gullible could Shelton be? This is about business, man,
this is about the Royal Rumble. It's about winning and
going to Wrestlemania. >> Benjamin probably was going to trust
>> Listen, I wouldn't have blamed Brock for
taking an ally for a few minutes. Obviously I didn't expect
it to last very long. >> You ain't cheating, you ain't trying. I understand what Brock did but
Shelton for God's sake [MUSIC] >> The intercontinental champion, and the man who won the Royal Rumble
two years ago, 2018. [MUSIC] >> Don't forget the great liberator,
Cole, Sammy Zayn! >> Yeah, Sammy Zayn. >> [APPLAUSE] [MUSIC] >> Cheering Shinsuke Nakamura on as
he makes his way to the ring to take on Brock Lesnar. >> If you see what Sammy Zayn
is doing right now, straight to the back, because he knows
exactly what's gonna happen to Shinsuke. >> Nakamura and Brock Lesnar both
decorated champions in Japan as Brock Lesnar missed with the right hand,
and now Shinsuke Nakamura, the king of strong style,
trying to take it to the WWE champion. Missed wildly,
kick that caught him on the other side. >> Right on the temple. >> Lesnar's down.
>> Right on that temple, that temple shot right there is very deep. >> Nakamura come [CROSSTALK]
>> And Nakamura's eliminated. Brock Lesnar has eliminated ten men. >> [SOUND]
>> Remember the record is 13 by Brawn Strowman in
the greatest Royal Rumble. Roman Reigns once eliminated 12 but
no man in history has eliminated 10 straight opponents
in the Royal Rumble match. >> Also can't forget, Collin the greatest
Royal Rumble there were 50 competitors. >> And Shinsuke Nakamura had knocked
Brock Lesnar down with the kick. But Brock Lesnar was able to eliminate Shinsuke as we await number 12. >> Lesnar now with some very valuable
time on his hands, able to rest slightly. Prepare for whatever's next. [MUSIC] >> This is a surprise, what? MVP, a former United States champion, a former tag team champion. >> How does Lesnar prepare for
something we haven't seen in WWE in years? >> I talk to MVP all the time, this guy has got a lot of unfinished
business here in the WWE. >> He can make a name for himself again
rather quickly if he can eliminate Brock Lesnar in the Royal Rumble match [MUSIC] >> Lesnar is dancing,
the WWE Champion is dancing. >> Why shouldn't he be happy? He's eliminated ten men. >> MVP,
he looks like he's just came from Wakanda. >> Where you going? Come back here, come back here. >> MVP taking his time
getting in the ring. And that's very wise, very wise. >> And now chasing Heyman. >> Uh-oh, Brock Lesnar's going to bring
MVP in to the Royal Rumble match himself. Wait a minute, MVP. >> How about a veteran, that's MVP, and
like I said, guy that's got a whole lot to prove here to get to get Brock Lesnar
somehow that top rope, he'll do it. >> Brock, you mentioned Wakanda. Does that make Brock Lesnar Thanos? F5 by Lesnar. >> You might be right. >> MVP's return may be short lived. Sent over the top rope, hits the floor. 11 eliminations. Every single man that has followed
Brock Lesnar into the Royal Rumble match tonight has been
eliminated by the WWE Champion. >> Guess the vibranium didn't work out. >> Number 13. [SOUND] Yeah. >> Yes! >> Yeah. The new North American champion
from NXT limitless Keith Lee. >> I can assure you Brock Lesnar
has never encountered an athlete quite like Keith Lee, the man who went toe to toe with Roman
reigns in an incredible Survivor Series. He makes his first Rumble
match appearance tonight. Keith Lee is a very, very unusual blend
of size, speed, agility and attitude. >> Yes indeed, big man,
very agile, mobile, versatile. Can do anything with
inside the squared circle. >> In baseball you'd call
Keith Lee a five tool player. Keith Lee has it all. And he's gonna go toe
to toe with The Beast. >> I call him the cleanup man. >> [APPLAUSE] >> We hear the Rumble at Minute Maid Park. >> Lesnar almost looks
surprised at the size of Lee. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Lee did not look intimidated in
the least, but Lesnar on the attack first. >> And in this case a little bit of
intimidation would serve Keith well. >> Keith Lee with a shoulder tackle,
now Brock goes down. Wow! >> Keith Lee just buried Lesnar and
Brock with a look of shock on his face. Lee now a splash to the corner. >> Whoa, look at that move right there. >> The athleticism of Lee. The southpaw with the left hand. Lesnar stunned, Lesnar's in trouble. >> Brock's dazed right now, he's definitely-
>> Both men are down in the middle of the ring. What a collision between
these two behemoths. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> And we now await the next entry,
number 14 on the way. >> [SOUND] [MUSIC] >> The monster among men, Braun Strowman. Three huge men will be in
the ring at the same time. Lesnar has been in this
batch over 20 minutes, perhaps fatigue could be setting in. >> If Brock's going out,
Brock's going out now. >> The man who won the 2018 greatest Royal
Rumble, eliminated 13 men that night. And Braun Strowman, the monster among men. With a great drop kick. Lee went under the bottom rope,
still in the match. You gotta go over the top rope
with both feet hitting the floor. >> He's realizing that what is it like
right now to be in here with the big guys, the big guns. >> Why is Strowman leaving the ring? >> Because he can do that. >> But why is the name of the game is to
get everyone in the ring out of the ring. >> Strowman back in the ring
Lesnar back to his feet, Brock follows it up with a clothesline. >> Strowman is like a loose cannon right
there he just just mowing down everything in front of him
>> History between these two men as well, Strowman just eyeing Brock Lesnar. Will Strowman be the man to eliminate
Brock Lesnar from the Royal Rumble match Brock though, from behind,
looking for a German suplex. >> Man. >> To thel monster. And now to Keith Lee, are you kidding me? >> Keith Lee dumped on the back of his
neck and another for Braun Strowman. >> This is an incredible performance. Perhaps one of the greatest if not
the greatest in the history of the Royal Rumble Match. >> I gotta agree. I don't know how you can
disagree with that Cole. Not only because of the eliminations that
Brock Lesnar has procured to this point, but the pure dominance. Lesnar has annihilated every man that's
stepped in front of him tonight. >> He's been absolutely awesome
in this match, has Brock Lesnar. Strowman back to his feet,
Lee back to his feet as well. Brock Lesnar-
>> [APPLAUSE] >> Always wondered what would happen what it would be like if these
two big men squared off. Strowman and Keith Lee exchanging blows. And now Brock Lesnar from behind,
takes advantage. Eliminates two more men! 13 eliminations for Brock Lesnar,
he's tied the Rumble record. >> Opportunity knocks,
man, Brock Lesnar's on it. You gotta love it. We always talk about strategy, but Brock's just throwing everything
under the window right now. >> [SOUND]
>> That was opportunity right there. Lesnar saw an opportunity and capitalized. >> And the one and only Ricochet, from
Monday Night Raw, enters at number 15, we are halfway through
this year's Rumble Match. This is Ricochet's first ever
Rumble Match appearance. And remember what Brock Lesnar did to
Ricochet this past Monday night on Raw. Took him out, he kicked a low blow. >> [LAUGH]
>> Lesnar catches Ricochet. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Brock Lesnar- >> Backbreaker delivered, stopped any chance Ricochet
had of starting with momentum. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Is Brock getting a bit winded? Halfway through the Rumble match here and
he entered it number one. >> There is no way Brock can't
be getting tired right now. We wonder if Ricochet may have
come in at the right time. Maybe he thought
Brock Lesnar at that moment. >> Well Brock, one of the most well
conditioned athletes in the history of WWE, the history of combat sports for
that matter. As he delivers another German suplex,
this one to Ricochet. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> And The Beast is grinning. >> I don't wanna hear anybody say anything
about Brock Lesnar not defending titles. Not spending any time,
not wrestling when he needs to wrestle. This has been an incredible
performance by Brock Lesnar, a career defining
performance here tonight. >> And you're talking about the greatest
combat sports athlete in history. NCAA champion, UFC heavy weight Champion, multiple time WWE Champion and
Universal Champion. >> Number 16, Drew McIntyre. I would add soon to be
Royal Rumble winner, but you got McIntyre staring a hole
through the WWE champ, right now. >> McIntyre last year entered
at the same spot, number 16. He lasted over 20 minutes and
came close to winning the event. McIntyre now locked
eyes with Brock Lesnar. >> [APPLAUSE] >> And Ricochet with a low blow to Lesnar. Claymore Kick! Lesnar eliminated! >> Whoa! >> McIntyre eliminates Lesnar! >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Brock Lesnar lasted 26 minutes, 23 seconds. But he was eliminated by
a low blow by Ricochet. Payback for Monday night. >> Wow.
>> And then McIntyre with a Claymore. Heyman's in disbelief. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> A little teamwork, chalk up the assist to Ricochet. But boom, Claymore knocks
the WWE champion to the floor. This place is still in disbelief. >> But an incredible performance,
a record time performance by Lesnar. He eliminated 13 men tonight,
tying the Royal Rumble record. Entered at number one,
lasted 26 minutes 23 seconds. Meanwhile Ricochet turns
his attention to McIntyre. These two men now, the only men remaining in this part of the
Royal Rumble match as we await number 17. >> Wait, wait,
look at this power from Drew McIntyre. McIntyre eliminates Ricochet! >> Let me tell you guys, a lot of
the smart money was on Brock Lesnar, but Drew McIntyre, not too far behind it. Nine to two odds,
I will take a day at the end of the week. >> Look at this, this is horrifying
strength from McIntyre just throwing Ricochet nearly
into the front row. And McIntyre returns the stare
at a fallen WWE champion. And think about this, 15 men have been eliminated in this match
by two individuals, Lesnar and McIntyre. >> McIntyre just gonna pick up
what Brock Lesnar left off. >> At number 17 is The Miz,
a veteran of the Royal Rumble Match. Making his 12th Rumble
appearance here tonight >> I'll tell you right now Coe, Drew Mclntyre had better get over
the fact that he just eliminated Lesnar. McIntyre needs to focus on the guys who
are still in this match, such as The Miz. >> McIntyre has not taken
his eyes off The Beast. And Miz now, trying to sneak in from
behind, trying to go after McIntyre. But McIntyre felt him coming. Miz, the wily veteran, a former,
WWE Champion in his own right. What a kip up by the tremendously
athletic Drew McIntyre, who still will not take his
eyes off the champion Lesnar. >> Drew McIntyre said he was
gonna main event WrestleMania. I think he meant it. >> Two, one. [NOISE]
>> And now Mclntyre going to eliminate
the third individual, here tonight, Mclntyre three eliminations. Lesnar, 13 eliminations
as we await number 18. >> Drew Mclntyre once again
staring a hole through The Beast. >> [NOISE] >> Drew Mclntyre has never had a WWE or universal championship opportunity
in his long WWE career >> Well, he better win tonight then. >> Trust me, you think about all
the guys who came before you, Drew Mclntyre is focused. He's ready. >> As Lesnar exits the arena. McIntyre is alone in
the ring awaiting number 18. In ten seconds of the 2020
Royal Rumble Match. >> Three, two, one. [SOUND] [MUSIC] [APPLAUSE]
>> The phenomenal AJ Styles, who's had some issues with Drew McIntyre. Remember AJ Styles provided us with
one of the great Royal Rumble match moments back in 2016 when he appeared
on the scene here, Corey, at WWE. >> Now there's no time
to focus on history. The phenomenal one would love to
step to the top of the mountain once again at WrestleMania, but AJ's path
tonight runs through a very ready, motivated, Drew McIntyre. >> As well as it's not about
a wrestling match tonight, it's about getting that man over
the top rope, it's about winning and I think that's what Drew McIntyre
is thinking right now. >> AJ Styles who had company, The OC,
messing up a great match between Orton and McIntyre this past Monday night. AJ Styles now goes right
after Drew McIntyre, and McIntyre sends Styles into the corner. Styles will sidestep Drew. Watch out for the apron, AJ in trouble. >> Wow, great bounce. >> [INAUDIBLE] forearm now looking
perhaps for the phenomenal forearm. >> [NOISE]
>> McIntrye ducks underneath it. >> Smart move kicking out the legs. Kick to the hamstring of
the much larger McIntrye. >> McIntyre though with a shoulder tackle. >> McIntyre trying to shake off the pain
from those strong kicks from Styles. Look at this. >> Wow. >> The power of McIntyre, but
a well placed knee by AJ Styles. >> AJ could be looking for
the calf crusher submission, but I don't know how well that's gonna serve
him in this particular type of match up. >> Take McIntyre off his feet,
prevent the claymore perhaps. >> If you got to slow the big man down,
you got to slow him down somehow. >> And look at, my God, and there
slamming Styles into the mat face first. Number 19 now is Dolph Ziggler. >> [MUSIC] >> And for Dolph Ziggler in historic
night as well he ties Kofi Kingston, with his 13th Rumble
match your appearance. Number two all time. Cain of course with 17 most
prolific Rumble match performer. >> But as we saw with Brock Lesnar,
the more competitors are in the ring, the harder it is to dominate. McIntyre now has to worry about
Ziggler and Styles at once. >> [CROSSTALK]
>> Come on. Styles to the back of
the knee of McIntyre. >> Again, normally every man for himself. But sometimes it pays off to
have some temporary alliances. >> Well the love affair is over, man,
Ziggler and McIntyre [INAUDIBLE] what. Did you see that. >> Now Ziggler with cheap shot to Styles. Ziggler who got involved in the false
coming into a match earlier here tonight with Corbin and Reigns, and
now McIntyre backed off into the corner, and what a throw by McIntyre. >> That was outrageous distance, about
three corners of the way across the ring. That is just a glimpse of
what McIntyre is capable of. >> [SOUND]
>> Wow. Wow.
>> You look at Mclyntre is in great shape. I mean, I haven't seen him look better and
right now he's just taken over. >> [SOUND]
>> Wow. >> Number twenty, two thirds of
the way through the Rumble upcoming. >> Three, two, one. >> Look at this.
>> Styles tryna hang on. Styles tryna hang on, and
he's gonna have some help. Karl Anderson, of the OC,
Styles' friend, heading to the ring. >> Draw couldn't have been any luckier for
AJ Styles. Styles is [CROSSTALK]
>> Styles [CROSSTALK] jumped up to the second rope, lands on the apron. Style, though, still on the apron of
the ring as Anderson was able to get to McIntyre to help Styles stay
involved in this match. >> [NOISE] Now it's gonna be a who's who, it's getting a little bit
more crowded in there. Don't know who's gonna win now. >> [NOISE]
>> McIntyre, if you ask him will tell- >> Dolph with a super kick. >> Beautiful, talk about alliances. >> This is a smart alliance you wanna
eliminate the biggest man in the matchup which is McIntyre. There he goes. >> Trying to eliminate McIntyre
now Anderson now AJ Styles and Ziggler all trying to
eliminate Drew McIntyre. But well Styles when right after Ziggler. That was odd. And now into Anderson and
Anderson with a spine buster. >> This Is where egos can be
detrimental in a matchup like this. >> [NOISE]
>> All alliances are found to be temporary in a Royal rumble match. But look at this Dolph Ziggler now

is the latest entry slot not to produce a Royal Rumble

as of late on Monday night Raw. And number 27 is where more winners have
come in a Royal Rumble match than any other number. >> And Owens,
driving McIntyre back into the corner. Now goes right after Randy Orton. >> Owens unleashing all of
his recent frustrations. No shortage of opponents to do it to. Clear the deck,
cannon ball coming through. >> And Owens a Loves Houston, Texas. He won his only universal

win to a big a win like this. That's Kevin Owens-
>> Powerbomb. And now Owens kick right
to the face of Reigns. >> Here goes Reigns. >> Wait for the pop up powerbomb. Reigns [INAUDIBLE] leapfrog. Stunner. >> [APPLAUSE]

got to make his body a little bit heavy. >> Number 28 now he's gonna make his

Seth Rollins is flanked by his new team. The Monday Night Messiah has Buddy Murphy
and AOP Walking out to the ring with him. >> This is as close to bulletproof
as a competitor can possibly be. Last year, Rollins won this
very match all on his own. Now the Monday Night Messiah has
returned to claim what's his. >> He's already the Raw tag team champion
with Buddy Murphy after a shocking victory this past Monday night. >> It's only shocking if you don't
understand how amazing the Messiah can be. >> Say what you wanna
say about Seth Rollins. He got back up but
he do not mind getting into a fight. >> Edge, Owen, Kevin Owens went
underneath the power up so they are still in this matchup. Then they go right after AOP. Buddy Murphy and Seth Rollins and
the chaos of the brawl is on. This has been brewing weeks and
weeks and weeks on Monday Night Raw. >> All coming to a head
here tonight in Houston. We got pandemonium at ringside and
look at Seth Rollins. There will be no more entry
entries into this matchup. Seth Rollins was number 30. Now they drag edge under the bottom rope. Edge is still in the match
[INAUDIBLE] through the barricade. >> Orton is still in the match as well. AOP having a way with Orton. And AOP, Murphy and Rollins over everyone. >> [CROSSTALK]

the middle of the ring. >> Randy Orton placed right
into my lap here at ring side. But Randy Orton is still in this
match ladies and gentlemen. >> Not eliminated literally from the match
but from the equation at the moment. >> Exactly.
Orton is still in this match. Booker is checking on Randy
to make sure he's okay, Randy came flying across
our announce table. >> [CROSSTALK]. Rollins with a Stomp in
the middle of the ring. >> The Big Dog has been stomped, by his
once upon a time brother, Seth Rollins. >> [NOISE]
>> Aleister Black now. >> [NOISE]

dominate but Aleister lands a high kick. >> [NOISE]
>> Buddy Murphy once again. >> Paying dividends. >> Well, and remember all this is legal
because there is no disqualification in a Royal Rumble match. Eliminated is Black now by Rollins. >> You guys are all right after all that. >> Yeah. >> Seth Rollins can taste victory,

eliminates Rollins, caught by AOP. >> Wow.

all trying to destroy one another! >> Well somebody better to get some
security around here or officials or somebody to separate these guys. >> Owens Black, Samoa Joe,
all eliminated from the rumble match, none of the other guys were even involved,
Rollins is going where are you going guys? He's losing all his allies. >> Yeah, his insurance policy
just checked out AOP and buddy Murphy who's helped
Rollins eliminated. Some men in this matchup
including Owens and Joe, Edge slowly making his
way back into the ring. Randy Orton as well is not eliminated,
Randy Orton is still in this match. Edge, McIntyre, Orton, Reigns,
Rollins is in the middle. And the Monday night Messiah
may need a prayer right now. Rollin saying hey Roman remember our days in the shield. [NOISE] Superman punch, got your answer Seth. What a power slam by Orton. >> Right now the Monday night Messiah

Roman Reigns who's won this event, Edge who's won this event, and
returns here tonight, and Drew McIntyre, all four square off for
an opportunity to main event Wrestlemania! >> McIntyre promised that he was
gonna go to WrestleMania main event. That event so you gotta wonder right
at RKO plotting some strategy we seen them work together earlier tonight
to say now they go off the Reins and Drew McIntyre
>> Better the devil you know than the one that you don't. [NOISE]
>> Edge into the corner. McIntyre hammering away
on the Hall of Famer. Roman Reigns sent to
the post shoulder first. >> Backbreaker from Orton. The Big Dog is down. >> Now from behind, goes after McIntyre. This is awesome. [APPLAUSE]

have one strategy but he knows how to win more

out of Drew Mclntyre. >> I still can't believe that we
are seeing Edge in this Royal Rumble match tonight. And as one of the final four men? >> Don't trust a snake. [SOUND] And there is Edge. Edge elimination. >> Strike the viper before he strikes you. >> [INAUDIBLE] Two more. [CROSSTALK]
>> Well, now we are down to three [CROSSTALK] Orton's [NOISE]
>> Orton is frustrated because he should have known better. >> I mean he fell for
the oldest trick in the book. >> Reigns, Egde and
Maclntyre all that remain. >> One of these three men is
going to main event WrestleMania >> [APPLAUSE] >> This is one of those matches you play on 2K to make up a fantasy
match Reigns vs Edge. You get to see it here tonight
live at the Royal Rumble >> There is no way in the world, I thought I would see this
>> Look at Edge and Reigns unloading blows on each other. And a big right hand. >> Big uppercut
>> Superman punch. The simple deal right here is nine
years removed, some new game. >> And there is a dog running the yard. Trying to pull himself back to his feet Roman Reigns is in position and ready. Went for the spear, Edge able to reflex. >> Wow.

both men now on the apron. >> Both men battling exhaustion
this deep into a match-up, Reigns already competed once tonight. >> Critical moment here, Reigns and
Edge exchanging blows out on the apron, which one of these men is gonna teeter, which one of these men is gonna fall
to the floor below and be eliminated? >> Egde just hanging on barely

McIntyre, with a superman punch he connected, McIntyre down to one knee, down
to two men, the final men of the rumble. >> Here we go. >> Roman Reigns is gonna eliminate

claymore, claymore! Claymore by McIntyre, McIntyre. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> Drew McIntyre is going to WrestleMania. >> [APPLAUSE] >> Here is your winner, Drew McIntyre. >> [APPLAUSE]
>> All I can say is Is about damn time. >> Drew McIntyre has never had
an opportunity at a WWE or universal championship. He's going to get his chance
after winning the Royal Rumble! >> And there's a standing ovation at
Minute Maid Park and deservedly so, over 40,000 fans standing in appreciation
for Drew MacIntyre, what an effort! [MUSIC] >> For the first time ever,
Drew McIntyre wins the Royal Rumble. But it was really as I mentioned before a
story of two Royal Rumble matches tonight. Brock Lesnar the WWE champion
entered at number one. Lesnar had eliminated
13 before Ricochet and then McIntyre would take out the beast. >> And this seemed to propel Drew
McIntyre's momentum that he would hold on to throughout the night in the closing
moments, just when it looked like the big dog was headed to WrestleMania,
a claymore to the chin of Roman Reigns. And Drew McIntyre has finally earned,
the opportunity that has eluded him for 13 years, an opportunity to
become champion at WrestleMania. >> A few short years ago you never ever
would believe that Drew McIntyre would be made a bet in WrestleMania. >> That is where it's Drew MacIntyre
is headed to WrestleMania, a man who was ones fired from WWE and he
fought hard to get back in this company, to get back to WWE and now Drew McIntyre
is on top of the mountain.
