This Royal Rumble match was perhaps the pre-cursor match to the Attitude Era, with the appearance of Iron Mike Tyson in the viewing box seen as the start of the now infamous era in professional wrestling. The Nation of Domination were heavily involved in the match, with Farooq and Rock being in the final four competitors before Rock turned on his Nation leader and threw him over the top rope.

Austin's entrance was delayed due to him seemingly being attacked backstage, but after hitting the ring and eliminating Marc Mero and 8 Ball, he went on to throw Rock over the top and win his second straight Rumble and go on to face Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania.

The story of the match, however, was Mick Foley entering at #1 as Cactus Jack, complete with trash cans. Upon being eliminated, he re-entered the match at #16 as Mankind before being eliminated by Goldust. A final face of Foley was seen at #28 when Dude Love hit the ring and teamed up with his former tag partner Austin. The one and only time we would see the same competitor in hit the ring for multiple appearances and great memories.
