Greatest Royal Rumble RESULTS

IT'S TIME FOR THE RESULTS

John Cena vs Triple H
Winner: John Cena

The match was not bad. They had some seriously close calls in this match. They were barely making the counts. The final bout took 2 AAs for John Cena. 25-minute match wasn't half bad. 



John Cena spoke and thanked the Saudi Arabian Fans for their hospitality and allowing him to compete in one of the biggest and historic events the WWE has ever had. 

*Cruiserweight Championship: Cedric Alexander (c) vs Kalisto
Winner: Cedric Alexander

Kalisto started off with some serious speed and high flying work. But Cedric came back hard with his own high flying offense. He hit Kalisto with a devastating dropkick. Cedric began to put in work by grounding Kalisto. A great strategy. Forcing him to the matt was the best move for Cedric to best the masked Lucha. 

Later Kalisto hits a beautiful seated Springboard Spanish Fly off the top rope. It was awesome! But not enough to beat the champ! Kalisto then tried for a Selena del Sol (after a battle of counters between the competitors) but Cedric countered with the Lumbar Check! This match was great! Definitely one of my faves.

RAW Tag Team Championship: Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt vs The Bar (Sheamus & Cesaro)
Winner: Matt Hardy & Bray Wyatt (New Champions)

Well, this match was entertaining. But it was clear. Wyatt and Hardy were going to win. However, they work well with each other. The match was good. The Bar competed nicely but it just wasn't enough to best the Woken Entities (Light & Dark), Matt & Bray.

United States Championship: Jinder Mahal vs Jeff Hardy (c)
Winner: Jeff Hardy

Jeff had the upper hand at the beginning of the match. But of course, Jinder used his minion to cause the distraction allowing him to take over the match. The turn around came when the minion interfered again and Jinder attempted to capitalize with the Khallas. Jeff countered and Jinder attempted to use his jeans to aide in a roll up but Jeff kicked out. This allowed Jeff to quickly hit a Swanton bomb and retain. 

SDLive Tag Team Championship: Bludgeon Bros (c) vs The Usos
Winner: Bludgeon Bros 

Despite my unwavering love for the Usos, they couldn't best the Bludgeon Bros. With that said it was an ok match. Not great just eh 

InterContinental Championship: Seth Rollins (c) vs The Miz vs Samoa Joe vs Finn Balor
Stipulation: Ladder Match
Winner: Seth Rollins

Rollins kicked off this match with high energy taking out everyone in his path. Shortly after Seth's quick takeover, the match slowed down and each competitor began to shine. This match was pure awesomeness. 

Now in the final moments of this match. Balor was on the ladder. He had this match won. All he had to do was climb up and take the belt. But Rollins came in jumped from the top rope on to the ladder and snatched the belt down before Finn could even get his self together to finish the climb on the ladder. Rollins straight ganked the belt from him. OMG, one of my favorite matches of the night!

WWE Championship: Aj Styles (c) vs Shinsuke Nakamura Winner: Double Countout

Aj Styles and Nakamura went to battle. But it got emotional. Aj and Nakamura keep fighting outside the ring. 

They were both counted out and Aj went on the attack. Taking out Nakamura simultaneously. This isn't over, a rematch is set at BackLash. I suspect Nakamura will pick up the belt there.  

WWE Universal Championship: Brock Lesnar (c) vs Roman Reigns
Winner: Brock Lesnar

I refuse to explain this because it was some bullshit. Brock Lesnar's feet never hit the got damn floor. Rules are both feet have to hit the floor. They never did until he rolled off the steel cage wall after Roman. Roman won that damn match. They gave it to fucking Brock Lesnar and bitch I am fit to be TIRED! UBER PISSED!

The 50 man Royal Rumble was STACKED! Daniel Bryan lasted the longest and was beat up the most. His chest looked like hamburger meat. He was beaten up everywhere chest, arms legs, etc. 




But Braun ultimately ended up winning the match. He was awarded a beautiful green belt and a humungous trophy.

It was fun to watch and the eliminations were fast and quick. I loved the rumble. The absolute best part of this rumble was watching Titus slide under the ring after tripping coming down the ramp. I freaking lost it and so did Graves. Hands down best part of the night.

Honest opinion of the Rumble I liked it. The Rumble was fun and interesting. Although it was drawn out it started at 12 and didn't end until 5. The matches were good and it was fun to watch so all in all I'd say the WWE put on a great show. But that ending with Brock and Roman TRASH TRASH TRASH TRASH! ALL DAY LONG!

But I hope they make this a tradition. And hold off the superstar trade until after the #WWEGRR that way its not SO obvious when watching the matches. Because it was easy to telegraph who was going to win. Just to make life easier wait until after the Greatest Royal Rumble to shake things up. 

Well until next time folks...
