Men’s Royal Rumble Match for a World Championship Match at WrestleMania 35
Elias, who drew number 1, is signing as we get close to 11 PM on the east coast. He is interrupted by number 2, WWE Hall of Famer Jeff Jarrett. Duet doesn’t last long and neither does Jarrett.

Shinsuke Nakamura is number 3 and number 4 is another Hall of Famer in Kurt Angle. Our first New Day member is out with Big E at number 5. Nakamura eliminates Angle.
#4?? definitely doesn’t SUCK, because it’s @WWE Hall of Famer @RealKurtAngle! #RoyalRumble pic.twitter.com/QDUP3HC0BA

Number 6 is a NXT surprise in Johnny Gargano and Jinder Mahal is number 7. Gargano makes quick work of Mahal. The Singh Brothers take a beating as well.
Cole: Gargano looks to eliminate Mahal, how embarrassing would that be …
Us: Just as embarrassing as his WWE career has been as of late …#RoyalRumble— WrestleNewz.com (@wrestlenewz) January 28, 2019

Mood changes as Samoa Joe is number 8. Joe gets rid of Big E as Hawkins enters at number 9, but decides to go under the ring. The odds on favorite Seth Rollins is number 10. Rollins gets Elias out of there as Titus O’Neil enters at number 11. He slows down to not trip. Hawkins actually gets rid of Titus and Joe tosses Hawkins.
CAREFUL, @TitusONeilWWE!#1??1?? #RoyalRumble pic.twitter.com/Ku1rsfKixz

Kofi Kingston is number 12 and Mustafa Ali is 13, who sends Nakamura over the top rope. Dean Ambrose is number 14 and he goes right for Rollins.

Kingston is almost eliminated, but some fancy footwork keeps him in there. Ambrose chucks Gargano. Number 15 is No Way Jose, who has no chance to win. He last maybe two seconds before Joe sends him over the top. Jose doesn’t care.

At 16 we get Drew McIntyre. 17 is Xavier Woods, who is quickly eliminated. At 18, we get the NXT UK Champion, Pete Dunne.
Andrade comes down at number 19, his second appearance in the Royal Rumble. He is followed at 20 by Apollo.
21 gives us Aleister Black, which makes the crowd happy.

In at 25, we have future Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio. He won’t have to top his personal best tonight if he wants to win the Rumble.

Intercontinental Champion Bobby Lashley is in at 26. An Intercontinental Champ has never won the Rumble, and they won’t stop that this year, as Lashley is quickly eliminated. He responds by snapping at Rollins, yanking him out of the ring and putting Rollins through the announce table. That’s one way to keep Rollins in longer.

At 28, Dolph Ziggler returns from hiatus and takes a break from his comedy tour. Ziggler quickly eliminates Drew McIntyre.
At number 29, it’s time for Randy Orton to come in and try to win another Rumble
At 30, we were supposed to get R-Truth, but he was attacked by Nia Jax. Jax then stormed down to the ring and entered the men’s Rumble.

Our final four: Ziggler, Andrade, Strowman and Rollins-but both Strowman and Rollins are laid out on the outside.
Lame. Some Entertaining spots, but what would we all think of a man entered the women’s #RoyalRumble? pic.twitter.com/xVXbBEPAor

Final two of Rollins and Strowman. Strowman went to launch Rollins out, and the two men battled on the apron before Rollins nailed a curb stomp on the apron to send Strowman to the floor.
Your winner of the men’s Royal Rumble, heading to WrestleMania for a championship match: Seth Rollins
Did you enjoy #RoyalRumble?
