Men’s Royal Rumble started with Oba Femi and Bron Breakker making their way
The match began with Oba Femi entering at No. 1, followed by Bron Breakker at No. 2 with Paul Heyman. Before the bell even settled, a hooded attacker ambushed Breakker, sending him into the steps and allowing Femi to eliminate him instantly. Heyman erupted at ringside as Breakker stormed off in disbelief.
Femi looked dominant early, eliminating Rusev, Solo Sikoa, Rey Mysterio and Matt Cardona in rapid succession. His early run established him as a legitimate force, drawing praise from commentary.
The pace accelerated with entries like Damian Priest, Je’Von Evans, and AAA standout Mr. Iguana, whose eccentric offense provided brief chaos before being dispatched.
The arrival of Trick Williams ignited the crowd, but his momentum was halted by Cody Rhodes, who entered at No. 11 aiming to become a three-time Rumble winner. Rhodes engaged in a physical showdown with Femi before the match took another bizarre turn.
Two versions of El Grande Americano entered back-to-back, revealing Chad Gable as the “Original.” The comedy quickly turned physical, and both were eliminated in rapid succession.
A major moment followed with the WWE debut of Royce Keys (formerly Powerhouse Hobbs), who immediately eliminated Priest and battled Rhodes. Keys’ night ended when The Vision (Austin Theory, Bronson Reed, and Logan Paul); ganged up to throw him out.
The Vision briefly dominated until LA Knight returned from injury and electrified the arena, eliminating both Theory and Reed to a massive reaction.
The atmosphere shifted dramatically when Brock Lesnar entered with Heyman. Lesnar flattened multiple competitors and finally eliminated Femi in a jaw-dropping exchange. Moments later, Rhodes and Knight teamed up to eliminate Lesnar, stunning the crowd.
The final stretch saw the arrivals of Jey Uso, Jacob Fatu, Penta, and Randy Orton, before Gunther entered last, fresh off retiring AJ Styles.
Chaos reigned. Drew McIntyre shockingly eliminated Rhodes with a Claymore from ringside. Reigns eliminated Fatu, then survived a fierce exchange with Jey Uso to prevent back-to-back Rumble wins.
The final four: Reigns, Orton, Paul, and Gunther delivered nonstop drama. Reigns eliminated Paul, Gunther dumped Orton, and the match came down to Reigns versus Gunther. In a tense, physical duel, Reigns countered the Sleeper Hold, landed a decisive Spear, and sent Gunther over the top rope.
