Royal Rumble Part 3

I decided during the preshow to break this PPV into 3 parts. Part 2 has the Women’s Rumble, the Fatal-4 Way and the United States Championship match. Part 1 is my pre-match thoughts before the show started.

Wrestlers in ( ) were eliminated.

Mens Royal Rumble

1. Jey Uso — Jey gets the oh crap look on his face as Jimmy’s music starts. (set up for their Wrestlemania match)
2. Jimmy Uso
3. Greyson Waller — I know he is an Aussie but so annoying.
4. Andrade
5. Carmello Hayes from NXT. (I look for his call up soon)(Greyson Waller)
6. Shinsuke Nakamura
7. Santos Escobar
8. Karrion Kross (Bobby Lashley)
9. Dominik Mystero (Brun Brekker)
10. Carlito (Santos Escobar)
11. Bobby Lashley (Carlito, Karrion Kross)
12. Ludwig Kaiser
13. Austin Theory
14. Finn Balor (have read that his contract expires after Wrestlemania)(Carmello Hayes)
15. Cody Rhodes (Austin Theory, Shinsuke, Gunther, C.M. Punk)
16. Bronson Reed (Andrade)
17. Kofi Kingston (Ludwig, Kaiser)
18. Gunther (Kofi, Jey Uso, The Miz)
19. Ivar
20. Bron Brekker (Jimmy Uso, Ivar, Omos)
21. Omos (Bronson Reed)
22. Pat Macaffe (Eliminated himself — Had one look at Brekker and Omos going, Im out)
23. J.D Mcdonagh
24. R-Truth
25. The Miz
26. Damien Priest (R-Truth)
27. C.M Punk (Dirty Dom,Drew McIntyre)
28. Ricochet
29. Drew McIntyre (Ricochet, Sami Zayn)
30. Sami Zayn (Damien Priest)

For the first time in 26 years (Stone Cold last went back to back) that a wrestler has done what only 4 other Wrestlers have done, winning back to back Rumbles.

Before Cody even leaves the ring he calls out to Roman that he will see him at Wrestlemania.

It was an interesting show. Some of the surprises were good, like Naomi and Jade (her Mom passed away which is what I think slowed down her debut)

The Fatal 4-way was not really any surprise but it was good to see them set up Roman/Cody for Wrestlemania 40.

See you this week for the fall out from the show
