This year's Royal Rumble started with two matches in the pre-show. The first match of the night was between Sheamus and Shorty G where The Celtic Warrior defeated Shorty with the Brogue Kick for the win.

The second match in the pre-show was a title match between United States Champion Andrade and Humberto Carrillo. The match had some good back and forth action and at one point it looked like Carrillo might walk away as the new champion but Andrade scored a pinfall with a rollup for the win.

The main show started with the Falls Count Anywhere match between Roman Reigns and King Corbin. Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode caused interference on behalf of Corbin but Reigns had back-up in the form of his cousins, The Usos and won the match by pinning Corbin after hitting a Spear on him.

Next was the Women's Royal Rumble match which was won by Charlotte Flair. The match featured returns from WWE legends such as Molly Holly, Kelly Kelly and Beth Phoenix and also had appearances from NXT Superstars such as Bianca Belair who lasted over half an hour and made eight eliminations.

Up next was the SmackDown Women's Championship match between the titleholder Bayley and Lacey Evans. Even though The Sassy Southern Belle put up a valiant effort, it was not enough to dethrone the Bayley who defeated Evans to retain her title.

Then it was time for the Strap Match for the Universal Championship between the champion "The Fiend" Bray Wyatt and Daniel Bryan. A brutal match followed but as always, Wyatt used his supernatural powers to kick out of all the cover attempts made by Bryan and eventually pinned Bryan to retain the title.

This was followed by the RAW Women's Championship match between Becky Lynch and Asuka. The Man defeated Asuka for the first time by tapping her out with the Dis-Arm-Her and retained the title.

The last match of the night was the Men's Royal Rumble which saw WWE Brock Lesnar entering the match at #1 and eliminated 13 Superstars before getting eliminated by Drew McIntyre. The match also featured the return of retired WWE Hall of Famer Edge who lasted a long time in the match and also eliminated a few Superstars.

Edge, Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre were the final three participants left in the match and after Roman Reigns eliminated The Rated R Superstar, McIntyre tossed out Reigns to win the Royal Rumble.

This was one of the best Royal Rumble in a while and the Men's Royal Rumble match featured some great moments. We will now take a look at some of the tweets that highlight the moments of the match.
