Before more than 52,000 members of the WWE Universe inside San Antonio’s Alamadome, hosted the Royal Rumble and it was packed with a massive field of Superstars — including The Undertaker, Roman Reigns, Goldberg and Brock Lesnar as it began the official kick off to the road to WrestleMania 33.

In front of 52,020 WWE fans at the Alamodome, recently converted Wyatt acolyte Randy Orton won his second Royal Rumble Match and punched his ticket to the main event of WrestleMania 33.

The Viper’s victory was the capper to a Rumble Match that had no shortage of delights, shocks and surprise entrants, and truly made good on the promise of “Friend vs. Friend, Foe vs. Foe, Every Man for Himself.” Don’t believe us? Let’s review:

The question of “Who can eliminate Braun Strowman?” was answered, emphatically — Baron Corbin, with an assist from Dean Ambrose and Sami Zayn

Goldberg obliterated Brock Lesnar again, eliminating him almost immediately after he entered the match, and The Undertaker did the same to Goldberg

Kofi Kingston staved off elimination in spectacular fashion

Beloved NXT Superstar Tye Dillinger entered at, yep No. 10

Jack Gallagher repped the Cruiserweights by hitting Chris Jericho in the crotch with William the Umbrella

After Cesaro & Sheamus eliminated all of The New Day, The Celtic Warrior tried to toss out his own partner, and a face-to-face ensued after Jericho dumped them both

The WWE Universe was treated to not only five big-man showdowns – Braun Strowman vs. Mark Henry, Strowman vs. Big Show, Goldberg vs. Lesnar, Goldberg vs. The Undertaker, and The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns – but also the surreal (and short) sight of Enzo Amore vs. The Beast Incarnate

However, once The Wyatts entered the match — Bray himself was the first at No. 21 — the complexion of the melee changed almost instantly. Orton RKO’d everyone in sight after his own entrance, seemingly clearing the way for the ultimate triumph of The New Face of Fear. The on-the-outs Luke Harper seemed as though he was on a mission to re-earn Wyatt’s trust at No. 25, but then he went and clobbered the patriarch himself with a discus clothesline. He would have also administered Sister Abigail had Orton not stopped the betrayal with an RKO. (Goldberg later eliminated Harper.)

The other, complexion-changing moment of the match was the unexpected arrival of Roman Reigns at No. 30, just hours after losing his bid for the WWE Universal Championship against Kevin Owens. Not only did The Big Dog eliminate The Undertaker, he cleaned house of several stragglers to bring the bout to a 1-on-2 confrontation with Wyatt and Orton.
