The final moments of the 30-Man Royal Rumble match were intense. Edge and Orton, who once teamed up as Rated-RKO, joined forces against Reigns and McIntyre.

But later, Edge betrays Orton and eliminates him only to be eliminated by Reigns. McIntyre betrayed and eliminated Reigns with a claymore kick and won the match. This closing sequence will go down in WWE history, as it delivered a heart-pounding finish to an incredible match.
