WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Results: Video Highlights

January 29 marked the 30th annual edition of Royal Rumble, which was perhaps the biggest event ever in the history of WWE. It was hosted at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas with a crowd of more than 65000 people. It was incredible to watch Lesnar, Goldberg and Undertaker in the same ring. 

Everyone was expecting the winner to be out of these three but WWE swerved everyone by making Randy Orton as the winner of the Rumble event. 

Viper has won this match second time. His first victory in Rumble got registered 8 years back, in 2009. 

Kevin Owens retained his universal championship when Strowman interfered to put Reigns through the table. Charlotte stood on her undefeated streak of 16-0 in the PPV single matches. 

Another history was made in this historic event, when John Cena defeated AJ Styles and won the 16th World title at the Alamodome. 

Here are all the results from Royal Rumble 2017-

Nia Jax vs. Sasha Banks

Nia dominated Sasha in their entire match. Sasha did made her efforts to gain her place in the match with double knees but Nia marked her win with the Samoan drop.

Cesaro-Sheamus vs. Gallows-Anderson - Raw Tag Team Title Match

The kick off show had some new tag team championships. Cesaro and Sheamus try to defend their title against Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson. But Cesaro was tagged in and got rolled up by Anderson, eventually losing their titles. 

Six-Woman Tag Team Match

Becky Lynch, Nikki Bella and Naomi square off against the SmackDown Women’s Champion Alexa Bliss, Natalya and Mickie James. Nikki and Natalya’s bitter rivalry could be seen through their slaps. Towards the end, Naomi won it all with a moon assault to Alexa Bliss. 

Results of the main show-

Roman Reigns vs. Kevin Owens

Reign had almost won over Owens with a spear, after their brutal encounter of No Disqualification. But Braun Strowman interfered and threw Reigns over the commentary table.

Charlotte dominated Bayley and continued with her PPV winning streak. Even after her bleeding face, she did not lose momentum. She hit Bayley on the ring apron and retained her championship.
