5 most notable performances from the Royal Rumble matches

#2 Brock Lesnar

The first entrant of this year's Royal Rumble, Brock Lesnar bossed over the next 13 entrants, eliminating every one of them. The Beast equaled Braun Strowman's record of most eliminations in a Royal Rumble match and lasted over 26 minutes.

Nobody could match up to the strength and dominance of Brock Lesnar and that gave us all a sight that we have never seen before. The Beast eliminated everyone who stood up to him and there were many moments when he was the only person in the ring waiting for his prey to make his way to the ring.

The WWE Champion made quick work of his competitors until Drew McIntyre stepped foot into the ring. Paul Heyman's predicament was definitely on the verge of coming true as Lesnar was throwing around Superstars across the ring and handing out F5s to whoever stepped in his path.

If it weren't for the combined effort of McIntyre and Ricochet, Lesnar would have continued on his path of destruction and who knows who would have eliminated him.
