WWE Royal Rumble is here, which could mean only one thing - We are officially on the road to WrestleMania. History has it that only 3 men have won the Rumble from that position.

The Royal Rumble kicks off with a return -- but not of a wrestler. They announce that the very first match of the night is the men's Royal Rumble. Sheamus delivered his 10 Beats of the Bodhrán -- where he clubs the guy's chest 10 times while they're tied up on the ropes -- and then hit a Brogue Kick to Miz to eliminate him. Finn Balor is in next, and comes to the defense of Dominik Mysterio. Gunther and Sheamus started the match out by demolishing each other with chops and strikes; Sheamus almost immediately gets a blood-red chest.

He gets a brief flurry, smashing his guitar against Gunther, but he's decimated by McIntyre and Sheamus who hit him with a Claymore and Brogue Kick at the same time. The clock ticks down for the next entrance, and it turns out to be Dominik Mysterio, who comes out with Rey's mask.

“I don’t know that in the fans’ minds, maybe me and you are looking at a certain point a certain way because we’re kind of like diehards, but I think there’s a lot of casual fans that are just kind of along for the ride. Contrary to social media paranoia, the honeymoon period between Cody Rhodes and WWE fans is alive and well. And I don’t think the fans are kind of where they were five, six years ago, where they kind of would like revolt. Suspicious by his absence was Sami Zayn, who was a trendy pick to win the Royal Rumble match. As Sami continued his rise as an unlikely Royal Rumble favorite, around the same time Cody Rhodes was set for a well-produced heroes welcome, fans began developing Twitter PTSD. Legacy stars like Lesnar, Edge and Lashley each spent minimal time in the Rumble in favor of highlighting rising stars like GUNTHER and Dominik Mysterio. Cody Rhodes won the WWE Royal Rumble in his return to WWE, entering the event at No. Rather, Zayn took the scenic route to the top of the sportsbook through his Emmy-worthy performance as The Bloodline’s lovable fish-out-of-water and Honorary Uce. All told, the 2023 Royal Rumble only had two surprise entrants in the forms of Edge and Logan Paul. The 2023 Royal Rumble had its share of moments, but it certainly will not live up to the high mark of its predecessors, like Steve Austin’s dramatic third win at Royal Rumble 2001 or Brock Lesnar fending off half the field in Royal Rumble 2020. The first surprise entrant in the Royal Rumble was Edge, who entered at No. By Sunday afternoon, Austin [settled in at +550](https://www.thesportster.com/report-wwe-offer-steve-austin-roman-reigns-match/), well inside the Top 5.

This was a big moment that continues the best story in wrestling. She also broke the record for the longest run in the women's Rumble. He was also seemingly supported by Jey Uso, who walked out in the moment. She even had the most eliminations in the match at seven. He also had one of the best final two segments in the history of the event, putting on a mini-match with Cody Rhodes. Even though Rhea Ripley was a favorite going into the women's Rumble match, she walked into it at No. By putting the men's match on first, it made sense that Zayn would not even be in it as he was focused on Reigns vs. For those who were able to see Bray Wyatt and LA Knight wrestle, they had a heated sprint that ended with the right man winning. After Roman Reigns stood tall over Kevin Owens, The Honorary Uce blasted The Head of the Table with a steel chair and was beat down for it by The Bloodline.

The Royal Rumble kicks off with a return -- but not of a wrestler. This was actually awesome, and got a pop from the crowd. In a throwback to his brother Goldust, Rhodes set Gunther up in the corner, legs stretched to either side on the middle ropes, and hit a Shattered Dream -- a kick to the nuts. There was a great moment where Gunther missed a Big Boot and ended up on the apron. Wyatt tried to suplex Knight on the steps, but Knight stopped him, jumped off the barricade to land a cross body on Wyatt, who was standing on the stairs. Really, the "Mountain Dew" part of the "Mountain Dew Light's Out" match is the most important. Afterwards, when Bliss was in the ring, the lights went dim and a spookey Bray Wyatt message played. The ring was filled with nearly a dozen women by the time No. Ripley did a sweet 619 to kick Asuka off, and then eliminated Morgan to win the Rumble. Reigns went for a second Spear, but Owens kicked him in the face and tried to score a Stunner. The pacing of this bout was off, probably due to the Royal Rumbles going long and because of the lengthy post-match segment. Reigns attemped a Spear but Reigns dodged it, leading Reigns to smash into the turnbuckle -- and I mean smash.

Roman Reigns destroyed Sami Zayn after beating Kevin Owens to retain the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship. During the main event of SmackDown this past Friday, Owens was in position to strike Zayn with a steel chair, but instead he continued to warn Zayn that the Bloodline would inevitably turn on the Honorary Uce.

Hartwell has felt like a fifth-year in NXT senior of late, especially as the only member of The Way who did not get called up to the main roster. Piper Niven dropped the Doudrop moniker and delivered an encouraging sign for the Triple H Era. This just barely qualified as a surprise entrant since Asuka is technically a member of the main roster. Given her combination of talent, and ties to Booker T, she’ll be a shoo-in for the main roster sooner rather than later. Roxanne became the first NXT star of the night to be featured, and she was able to showcase her quick-hitting offense in front of her home state of Texas. Edge’s elimination was done to further his ongoing tensions with The Judgment Day, which seems on track to culminate at WrestleMania. Seemingly thinking of the same death wish, Paul and Ricochet performed dueling springboard dives where both crashed into each other in midair. Booker T spent less than one minute in the Royal Rumble after being eliminated by Royal Rumble standout—and party-pooper—GUNTHER. With WWE going on 12 consecutive years with at least one part-timer in the WrestleMania main event, it’s finally starting to trust in its current generation amid consistent sellouts and big ratings spikes under the Triple H Era. Venerable legends like the aforementioned Edge, Bobby Lashley, Booker T and Brock Lesnar all took a backseat role, spending less than 15 minutes in the Royal Rumble combined. Instead of loading up the Royal Rumbles with surprise outsiders and nostalgia, WWE finally doubled down on its future. If the WWE Royal Rumble was a Tesla, surprise entrants would be its super charger.

Post-match, Roman gleefully watched on while the Usos and Solo Sikoa put a beating on the fallen Owens. Last night's Royal Rumble Premium Live Event saw Roman retain the Undisputed WWE Universal Title against Kevin Owens in the main event.

Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley earned their chances to win world titles, but the biggest story of the night involved the Bloodline.

Ripley and Morgan had beaten the record for longest time in a women's Royal Rumble match, but the record will officially go to Ripley following Morgan's elimination. Reigns handed the steel chair to Zayn and demanded that he deliver the final blow. She sauntered to the ring wearing a mask that completely covered her face and slowly removed the mask to reveal intimidating, clown-like facepaint and contact lenses. The match was fine but there was a lack of intensity. Wyatt finally snatched him and choked him out with a mandible claw by the stage. The lights in the arena cut out, revealing a glow-in-the-dark theme to the match. The match came down to Rhodes and GUNTHER, the latter of whom set the record for the longest time in a traditional Royal Rumble match – surpassing Rey Mysterio who lasted 62 minutes in 2006.

She ducked, resulting in Morgan taking the painful spray to the face. It's automatically one of the most fun moments when someone makes their return in a Royal Rumble match. Earlier in the night, during the Raw Women's Championship match, she was shown ringside watching Bianca Belair and Alexa Bliss battle it out. This could be the last, and if that's the case, it's good it happened in Texas. 30 made for an easier path for Cody Rhodes than Ripley's No. It doesn't matter if you've retired 100 times, you might be called upon to step back inside the squared circle. You can follow him on Coming out at No. With Niven, she had been out for several months due to complications from COVID-19. Any time he breaks out that move—usually under a minute or so—he's tossed out immediately after. By the time entry No. 17 and 18 respectively.
