Major stipulation added to WWE Royal Rumble match

He then grabbed the microphone, mocked Reigns’ line of “one vs. all” and put him in a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at WWE Royal Rumble.

To close out WWE Raw, Roman Reigns defended the WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Sheamus.

This is only the second time in history that the Rumble match is for the title.

The biggest question going into the Royal Rumble was who could win it, and earn a shot at the title at WrestleMania. Instead, Reigns will fight for the right to keep the gold around his waist, in the 30-man Royal Rumble match itself!

The League of Nations, represented by Rusev and Alberto Del Rio, beat The Usos.

This proved to be the straw that broke the camel’s back as Reigns went on a rampage, destroying all in his path much to the delight of the WWE Universe.

For each WWE Superstar, we will take a look at both their experience in the Rumble Match and in other matches at the Rumble PPV. Squad. It was announced after the match that the ragtag bunch of under-card talent – Slater, Adam Rose, Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel – formed a faction of “social outcasts”.

After last night’s announcement that Brock Lesnar will be showing up at WWE Monday Night Raw next week, there are at least four reasons to believe that the man once known as “The Next Big Thing” could be the next big name entered into the Royal Rumble Match.

But after The Big Dog Superman punched McMahon, the replacement official was on hand to count the pinfall once Reigns had clocked Sheamus with another devastating punch. These matches are fun, but aren’t given enough time. So it seems like Big Show is once again turning, this time face. After they were finished, they posed outside the ring with Wyatt’s classic pose on his knees with Braun Strowman, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan using the sign of the Four Horsemen, but in a downward position instead of upward. Charlotte and Becky Lynch had another match against each other, and this time Becky won after pulling the tights, similar to how Charlotte cheated to win a few weeks ago. And that gives February’s pay-per-view in Fastlane some more clout when it’ll likely be used to determine the No. 1 contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

WWE Royal Rumble will be shown on Sky Sports Box Office (channel 491) and Sky Sports HD Box Office (channel 492) at 1am, on Sunday, January 24 (Mon morning).

Chris Jericho made his triumphant [?] return to WWE on Monday night during a promo with the WWE World Tag Team Champions, The New Day.

Fans found out later in the broadcast just how quickly Owens would take his rival up on that offer when a championship bout was announced for the first episode of SmackDown on USA Network.
