Johnny Knoxville ‘Eliminates’ Sami Zayn, Clinches Spot In Men’s Royal Rumble Match

Johnny Knoxville is going to WWE Royal Rumble, and if he wins the legendary battle royal, he’ll be going to WrestleMania, too.

On the January 7 episode of WWE SmackDown, the “Jackass” star was confronted by Sami Zayn, who shared his belief that Knoxville wasn’t qualified for the Royal Rumble match whatsoever. But when the self-proclaimed locker room leader told Knoxville that he should do something to prove himself, that’s exactly what he did.

After Rick Boggs pinned Zayn in a singles match, Knoxville snuck into the ring and “eliminated” Zayn by sending him over the rope and onto the floor, just like a participant would in a Roya Rumble match. The ring announcer then declared that Knoxville had officially qualified for the Men’s Royal Rumble Match.

Knoxville previously publicly stated his intention to enter the Royal Rumble match, but he hadn’t been named as a qualified entrant until Friday’s episode of SmackDown.
