5 things we learned coming out of Royal Rumble 2018

#3 Even outmanned, Styles is still the man

Styles overcame the odds and remained WWE champion.

With the odds stacked against the WWE champion, it appears there really was nothing AJ Styles could do to overcome the two on one advantage before him. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn used everything and anything they could to ensure that they got the win, including breaking up any pinfalls attempted by Styles. They had several opportunities to finish off Styles as well, through either working on their own or collectively to wear down the champion.

However, just when it appeared Styles was going to be taken out courtesy of a superkick by Owens leading into a blue thunder bomb by Zayn, it turned out to be all for nought. After what appeared to be a phantom tag, Owens tried to take advantage of a distracted Styles by first hitting him with a superkick and then attempting to hit him with a pop-up powerbomb. However, Styles was able to reverse the attempt and rolled KO up for the win.
