Brock Lesnar wins the Royal Rumble

The men’s Royal Rumble match headlined the Royal Rumble pay-per-view (PPV) tonight (Sat., Jan. 29, 2022) at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, Missouri. There were surprises expected, and very little hint of who would win going in.

We probably should have expected that it would end up being Brock Lesnar, as a way to set up another WrestleMania match against Roman Reigns.

Here was the order of entrants:

1. AJ Styles
2. Shinsuke Nakamura
3. Austin Theory
4. Robert Roode
5. Ridge Holland
6. Montez Ford
7. Damian Priest
8. Sami Zayn
9. Johnny Knoxville
10. Angelo Dawkins
11. Omos
12. Ricochet
13. Chad Gable
14. Dominik Mysterio
15. Happy Corbin
16. Dolph Ziggler
17. Sheamus
18. Rick BOOGS
19. Madcap Moss
20. Riddle
21. Drew McIntyre
22. Kevin Owens
23. Rey Mysterio
24. Kofi Kingston
25. Otis
26. Big E
27. Bad Bunny
28. Shane McMahon
29. Randy Orton
30. Brock Lesnar

The show went off the air with Michael Cole wondering aloud who Lesnar would choose to challenge at WrestleMania, and to be fair he has a reason to go after either champion, but it’s pretty obvious where this is headed now.
