2017 Royal Rumble Match (30-Man Royal Rumble Match for a World Championship Match at WrestleMania 33)
Winner: Randy Orton!
Highlights: Big Cass entered at #1 with Enzo in tow for some live mic antics. Y2J then made his entrance at #2. Both men sized each other up before Y2J proceeded to slap the big man. This pissed off Cass, which led into Y2J being the receiving end of a continued assault. Kalisto showed up at #3. Kalisto went full speed ahead as he used a Springboard Dropkick on Y2J and a Springboard Enzuguri on Cass. Kalisto was a slippery lil’ devil as he and Cass got into it, but Cass finally dropped the luchador with a big boot. Mojo Rawley then appeared at #4. As soon as he got into the ring, he floored Kalisto and Y2J with offense. Him and Cass got into a pretty tense exchange while the other two men were down. Y2J and Mojo tried to eliminate Cass, but their attempt failed.
Jack Gallagher sprung up at #5. He used his classy umbrella to lay out several men, but Y2J got fed up with his BS and slammed him to the mat. Y2J went into full taunt mode, but this mistake led to Jack using his umbrella to low blow Y2J and have some more fun at his expense. The match continued and led into Mark Henry showing up at #6. Mark dominated everyone in the ring and showed love to the hometown crowd. After getting thrown through the middle rope, Jack tried to catch Mark with an umbrella strike from the top rope. Mark caught him and quickly eliminated him. Braun Strowman arrived at #7. He wasted no time taking down everyone in his way. He eliminated Mojo, but turned right around into a big boot from Cass. Braun got back to his feet though and dodged another big boot, which led to him shoving Cass over the top rope. Braun then sent Kalisto for a ride by flinging him over the rope onto Cass and Mojo. After some big man brawling, Braun got rid of Mark as well. Y2J decided to take refuge outside the ring after he slid underneath the rope to escape.
Sami Zayn entered at #8. Sami fought valiantly, but Braun cut his offense off at every turn. Big Show showed up at #9 to lock horns with another giant. Both behemoths locked eyes and began brawling. Big Show looked good at first, but Braun took him down with a nasty clothesline. Big Show got back to his feet and chokeslammed Braun, then turned his attention to Y2J by clocking him with a stiff punch. Braun and Show kept fighting until Braun flung him over the top rope. At #10 came the perfect 10, Tye Dillinger! Sami and Tye worked together to beat down Braun while the crowd chanted for Tye. Braun landed a double suplex on both men and then came James Ellsworth at #11 with Carmella by his side. Braun almost found himself gone after Sami and Tye almost double teamed him over the rope. Braun destroyed them both and looked to face off with #12, Dean Ambrose.
Dean tricked James into entering the ring, which led to Braun making quick work of him by catapulting him over the top rope. Braun looked stronger than ever. but the three men opposing him made a solid attempt at weakening him. Baron Corbin arrived at #13 and joined the other men in the ring to beat down Braun. Braun powered out of their team up and sent Tye over the top rope. Back in the ring, Braun got taken down by Sami, Dean and Baron’s biggest moves. Baron then shocked the crowd by forcing Braun over the top rope. Dean laid in a nice Dirty Deeds on Baron soon after. Kofi came out at #14. All four men in the ring went to war with each other and tried to force one another over the top rope. #15 turned out to be The Miz. As soon as he entered the ring, he landed his Skull Crushing Finale on Sami. Dean dropped Kofi with his Rebound Lariat, Miz used Daniel Bryan’s repeated kicks on Baron in the corner and Baron escaped and landed his Deep Six Nine on Kofi. Kofi pulled off a crazy feat afterward by sitting atop the ring post and hopping right over Baron and landing his Trouble in Paradise. At #16 came Sheamus, who pulled out all the stops to take down everyone in the ring.
#17 turned out to be Big E, who belted out his usual pre-match promo. He locked in The Miz in his Abominable Stretch and smacked his ass for extra measure. Of course, Kofi and Big E entered into an alliance against the other Superstars. The action kept going at a heated pace until Rusev entered at #18. Rusev clashed with a ring full of men while he wore a face mask for his broken nose. At #19, we got Cesaro. As soon as he got in, he gave The Miz, Sami and Dean repeated Big Swings. Even Kofi and Big E went for a ride. He almost did the same to his tag team partner, but was interrupted by a Superkick from Rusev. Xavier Woods came out at #20. Him, Big E and Kofi pulled off their tandem offense on Sheamus as soon as Xavier entered the ring. The Miz got a piece of that same offense soon after. Bray Wyatt showed up at #21 as the fireflies in the crowd celebrated his arrival. He used a Uranage Slam to take down Miz and soon began taking down anyone else in his path.
#22 gave us Apollo Crews, who managed to land some beautiful dropkicks and other high-flying moves on Bray and a few other men. The whole New Day got eliminated by Sheamus and Cesaro! But when Sheamus looked to get rid of his own partner, Y2J got rid of the both of them. Sheamus and Cesaro then began arguing on the outside. At #23 came Randy Orton, who handed out an RKO to Baron and Rusev. Sami made the mistake of coming off the top rope and landing right in another RKO. Him and Bray then got locked into their unusual alliance. #24 ended up being Dolph Ziggler, who went on a Superkick frenzy. He soon landed a double DDT as well and began beating down the rest of the opposition. Luke Harper showed up at #25. He soon got rid of Apollo Crews and set his sights right on Randy. Bray looked to ease the tensions between them, but Luke decided to take them both out. Luke almost landed Sister Abigail on Bray, but Randy saved him with a RKO to Luke at the very last moment.
Brock Lesnar finally made his arrival at #26! As soon as he got in, he got rid of Dolph and Dean, Suplex City came to town, of course. Brock then F5’d both Baron and Randy. #27 gave us Enzo Amore. He ran straight ahead into “The Beast,” who clocked Enzo with a Lariat and quickly eliminated him. Brock then went right back to his Suplex City ways. #28 turned out to be Goldberg! Him and Brock stared each other down before going to blows. Goldberg quickly Speared Brock and eliminated him in mere seconds! Goldberg entered into domination mode as he struck his prey with more Spears and a Jackhammer to Sami. #29 gave us The Undertaker! Taker showed up as the lights came back on and almost chokeslammed Goldberg. Goldberg got rid of Rusev, while Taker eliminated Baron. Goldberg repeated his elimination feat by getting rid of Luke, but then Taker shocked the world by getting rid of Goldberg! Taker then went Chokeslam crazy by taking out Miz and Sami.
The final entrant turned out to be Roman Reigns. Taker and Roman engaged in a tense staredown right in the middle of the ring as the crowd looked on. Both men then began throwing bombs at each other repeatedly. Roman landed a Superman Punch on Taker, but it did nothing to weaken him. Taker countered a 2nd Superman Punch, chokeslammed Roman ad then eliminated Miz and Sami. Taker turned his attention to Y2J by gifting him with a Chokeslam as well. Then Roman caught Taker off guard by throwing him over the top rope. The final four were set – Roman Reigns, Chris Jericho, Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton. Y2J got eliminated after catching a Superman Punch while he stood on the top rope. Bray and Randy then turned their attention to Roman. Randy landed his Apron DDT on Roman and looked to help Bray land an RKO. But Roman slipped out of it and got rid of Bray. Roman’s Spear attempt led to failure as he jumped right into an RKO followed by his elimination!
