Adam Rose runs in, and Big Show gives him a Knockout Punch as well. The same fate meets Curtis Axel. Bo Dallas nearly gets caught, but he gets out of the ring and celebrates. Dallas does a victory lap, so Big Show knocks him out at ringside.

Vince McMahon’s music hits, and he comes out to the stage with his daughter, Stephanie McMahon. The tumbler is on the stage. Stephanie says the question on everyone’s mind is who will win the Royal Rumble and win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Could it be Brock Lesnar, Bray Wyatt, Sheamus, or someone the WWE Universe has never seen before? McMahon wonders if it could be Roman Reigns. He then says the odds of that are the odds of someone in the crowd winning the Powerball. Stephanie says to win the Royal Rumble, it takes strength, strategy, and luck. McMahon says when he won in 1999, it had nothing to do with luck. Stephanie says he is truly an unbelievable human specimen. Stephanie says it’s time to find out who the first entrant in the Royal Rumble match is. They spin the tumbler, and McMahon reaches in. McMahon puts one back and reaches in again. Roman Reigns is revealed to be the number one entrant. The crowd barely responds. McMahon tells her to do it again. McMahon reaches in and again can’t open it. McMahon finally gets one he can open, and it’s Roman Reigns. McMahon tells her to leave that one out, and they draw one more time. McMahon drops the ball and takes another one. It’s Roman Reigns again. The crowd is just not responding to this at all. McMahon says after this Sunday, he won’t be number one, and you can believe that.

The Highlight Reel with special guests Brock Lesnar and Roman Reigns

Chris Jericho welcomes the crowd to the biggest edition of The Highlight Reel in WWE history. It gets a polite reception. Jericho talks about the top three odds on favorites to win the Royal Rumble will be in the ring for the first time ever. Jericho is talking about Roman Reigns, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, and the man whose odds have increased exponentially since it was announced he would be the first entrant in the Royal Rumble (not sure how that makes his odds better…). Then you have him, the savior of WWE. Thirdly, we’ve got The Beast…

Paul Heyman interrupts Jericho. Heyman says, “Ladies and gentlemen, and you too, Mr. Jericho, my name is Paul Heyman, and I am the advocate…” Jericho cuts him off and tells him to shut the hell up. Jericho says they know who his client is, but where is he? Heyman says you don’t need to be a weatherman to know that there is an F5 that will be touching down tonight in Columbus, Ohio. His client, Brock Lesnar, is here tonight. Heyman reminds Jericho that the last time he went face-to-face with Lesnar, it wasn’t something for the Chris Jericho Highlight Reel. It was more for Lesnar’s highlight reel. His client isn’t focused on Jericho. His client if focused on his other guest, the champion Roman Reigns. Jericho says Heyman was campaigning for his client to skip the Royal Rumble and go to WrestleMania to face the champion. Heyman couldn’t get it done. Heyman failed his client and failed to get him straight to WrestleMania. Heyman says that’s not a question. Jericho will rephrase. Jericho says Lesnar is the most physically dominating performer in WWE history, but he has a lot of enemies as a result. 29 of them will be in the Royal Rumble match against him. Jericho’s question is if he tried to get his client out of the Royal Rumble because he doesn’t like his chances of winning. Heyman says his client entered the ring last year at WrestleMania as the champion. He was never defeated for the WWE Heavyweight Championship of the World. Lesnar should have had a bye out of the Royal Rumble and went straight to WrestleMania. You have 28 men, the champion, and one beast. Heyman likes the box office appeal. Heyman says Brock Lesnar vs. Sheamus, Alberto Del Rio, Dean Ambrose, Big Show, Chris Jericho, or Roman Reigns would get people to subscribe for either of those singles matches. Lesnar will fight them all this Sunday. He’ll fight them all, throw them over the top rope, and go on to WrestleMania as the reigning, defending WWE Heavyweight Champion of the World. Lesnar will turn the Royal Rumble into Suplex City.


Brock Lesnar’s music hits, and the Beast Incarnate makes his way to the ring. Lesnar circles the ring before Roman Reigns’ music cuts him off to absolutely no reaction from the crowd. Reigns makes his way to the ring through the crowd with barely anyone reaching out and touching him. Reigns gets in the ring and tells Lesnar to get in the ring. The crowd is absolutely embarrassingly quiet. The music stops and you can hear how quiet it is. Reigns lays the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the mat. Lesnar jumps up to the apron and gets in the ring. Reigns immediately spears him down and starts punching him. The League of Nations runs down and attacks Reigns. Lesnar attacks Rusev and gives him a German Suplex. Sheamus and Alberto Del Rio attack Lesnar until he gets the better of them. Lesnar gives Del Rio a German Suplex, and Sheamus gets an F5. Reigns then gives Lesnar another spear to no reaction.

The Wyatt Family video flashes on the screen and the lights go out. When they come back on, The Wyatt Family surrounds him. Luke Harper quickly gives him a Discus Clothesline. Bray Wyatt then gives Reigns Sister Abigail. Lesnar slowly gets to his feet, and Harper gives him a big boot. Erick Rowan then waits for Lesnar to get up and gives him a spin kick. Braun Strowman then clotheslines Lesnar down to no reaction. Wyatt instructs them to lift Lesnar up. Wyatt then gives him Sister Abigail. Wyatt screams that the Royal Rumble is his. Wyatt says, “Follow the buzzards” to a completely silent crowd.
