Oba Femi dominated from the opening moments, eliminating Bron Breakker almost instantly after Breakker was attacked on the ramp before the bell. Femi continued his tear by quickly dispatching Solo Sikoa, Rey Mysterio, Rusev, and Matt Cardona to establish himself as the early standout.
Damian Priest slowed the momentum with a hard hitting exchange, while later entrants like Cody Rhodes, Trick Williams, and LA Knight shifted the pace. Brock Lesnar entered and ran through the field before being eliminated by a combined effort from Rhodes and Knight.
The match escalated with the arrivals of Jey Uso and Roman Reigns, followed by chaos from Jacob Fatu and a flurry of RKOs from Randy Orton. Gunther entered last and made an immediate impact, eliminating multiple competitors and setting the stage for a dramatic finish.
Drew McIntyre stunned the match by eliminating Cody Rhodes, while Roman Reigns cleared the field to reach the final four alongside Logan Paul, Orton, and Gunther. Paul was eliminated first, and Gunther threw out Orton to face Reigns one on one.
After surviving repeated sleeper holds, Reigns rallied with a Spear and sent Gunther over the top rope to secure the victory.
Roman Reigns won the Royal Rumble, earning his second career Rumble win and officially booking his place at WrestleMania in Las Vegas.
