5 things WWE got right at Royal Rumble: Seth Rollins wins, Brock Lesnar and Ronda Rousey surprise

#1. Brock Lesnar won the Men’s WWE Royal Rumble match

AJ Styles and Shinsuke Nakamura were the first two superstars in the Men’s WWE Royal Rumble match. Austin Theory joined the fray, followed by Robert Roode, who became the first superstar to be eliminated from the match.

Sami Zayn came out at #8 and Johnny Knoxville joined the match soon after. Knoxville took some moves from Styles and Montez Ford before Zayn eliminated him from the contest.

Omos entered as the first giant and took out everyone in sight. It took six superstars to eliminate him from the contest. Styles had a good run in the match before Madcap Moss eliminated him.

Drew McIntyre joined in at #21, followed by Kevin Owens and Rey Mysterio. Bad Bunny was one of the few surprise entrants in the men’s Royal Rumble along with Shane McMahon.

Expectedly, Brock Lesnar came out at #30 and went on a rampage. He eliminated five superstars, including McIntyre last, to win the match.

The Royal Rumble match was good and gave several upcoming superstars a good run. Many will argue that Lesnar did not need to win the Rumble match to go toe-to-toe with Roman Reigns again. However, The Tribal Chief will now have no excuse to wiggle out of the match.
