The first PPV of the year by WWE just ended and what a great show it was. Apart from the WrestleMania, Royal Rumble is the single biggest event in WWE and this year, it can be termed as a smaller WrestleMania.
The Rumble had 30 participants and it was Randy Orton who was the last-man standing in the ring. The veteran eliminated Roman Reigns to win the 30th Royal Rumble. It was one of the star-studded show as it had Brock Lesnar, Goldberg and even The Undertaker.

Lesnar was eliminated by Goldberg but The Undertaker tossed over Goldberg. Roman Reigns entered as the 30th and final contestant and eliminated The Undertaker and Chris Jericho. Lesnar could not avenge his loss to Goldbreg when they met last time. A two-minute shocker for the Beast Incarnate.
In the other memorable event, John Cena became the WWE World Champion. This was for the 16th time that Cena became the champion which is equal to the most times a wrestler became a world champ. Only Ric Flair has done it before. In his rematch against AJ Styles, Cena pulled off two Attitude Adjustment to finish the pin and reclaim the title.
