Seth Rollins would prevail in the 2019 Men’s Royal Rumble Match, last eliminating Braun Strowman to earn a WWE Championship opportunity at WrestleMania 35. In an exciting Royal Rumble match that lasted around 57 minutes, Rollins would give Strowman a Curb Stomp on the apron to knock “The Monster Amongst Men” out of the ring and win the 30-man battle.
Some notes:
- Two Hall of Famers made surprise appearances in the Rumble Match, Kurt Angle and Jeff Jarrett.
- NXT Superstars Johnny Gargano, Pete Dunne, and Aleister Black made surprise entrants, having great showings in the Rumble.
- Nia Jax attacked R-Truth as he made his entrance and took the #30 spot in the Rumble match. She becomes the fourth woman behind Chyna, Beth Phoenix, and Kharma to participate in the Men’s Rumble match.
