scoot slam
[Applause]
you've got to believe this one's over
we're about to find out who enters next
devastating elbow
things are about to heat up here guys i
wouldn't want to be in the ring now
that's for sure
oh this is dangerous right here
oh man
[Applause]
one of my favorite things about the
royal rumble really is the element of
surprise number four coming
[Applause]
things are about to get interesting now
you can say that again
talk about dismantling your opponent
i'd have to agree with corey's comments
on the element of surprise it seems each
year i find myself shocked at some of
the names we see competing in the rumble
that's kind of funny coming from you
michael can sit here we go number five
what a stop good grief looking a little
dazed here yeah she's definitely not
looking herself right now she can be
very dangerous in a match like this yeah
you definitely don't want to take it
lightly not on this night
after a decision by then wwe president
jack tunney the wwe championship was
declared vacant tonight that the winner
of the 1992 royal rumble will be crowned
the undisputed wwe champion at the time
superstars cast and present all made
their case from this will be number six
the slap
what
look out this changes things big time a
fresh superstar usually does cole
according to sports entertainment
historians the 1992 royal rumble will
always be considered one of the greatest
rumble matches of all time because of
the amazing collection of superstars who
competed in that match listen to these
names rowdy roddy piper randy macho man
savage a competitor has been eliminated
you never want to find yourself in a
spot like this especially a royal rumble
match michael she's heading to the ring
with a purpose yeah and that's to win
this whole thing
look out a possible elimination coming
up
harsh impact
looks like the champ is starting frank
their championship online she has to be
concerned about this offensive attack
there's so much at stake here guys if
she doesn't get her act together soon
she's gonna let it all slip away cooper
who's it gonna be
she's definitely slowing down here a bit
but that doesn't mean it's the end of
the road for her not by a long shot
german suplex
trying for the elimination here
[Applause]
b
here she is guys and she looks to be on
a mission yeah but this mission won't be
easy
the champ
[Applause]
leg sweep
impact oh what a great escape wow
she can end it here even more amazing
this time around cole
what a stop good
[Music]
she's looking at it
the champ not looking good right now
though he's seen her come back from
worse in the past this was bound to
happen eventually guys the opponent is
just too talented to ever walk all over
her for this entire match look at the
look at her eyes she's in the zone now
that's how you dominate your opponent
nice shut it down
nasty effects
[Applause]
she's countering nicely now yeah a
second ago she was almost done
this might be it oh my the champion put
to the test tonight counting it down
we're looking at complete domination
here
[Applause]
oh man she's rolling now check out the
look of determination on her face corey
yeah she's gonna be a tough one to
eliminate tonight when she gets an
attack mode
look out i think she's trying to prove a
point here
oh what a slap
oh here we go
beautiful technique when she gets an
attack
[Applause]
i can't though she kicked out there
heading to the ring with a purpose
really that's the truth
looking for the win
damn it the champs in a real bad place
right now did you see the impact on that
wow
[Applause]
the chant on the defensive now this
title defense is starting to take it out
of her guys
[Applause]
looks to make an elimination here wow
why do you think the change of plans
here well sometimes it's better to
release the hole than to get whacked
while the opposition tries to fight
free that one
gets out of the way of that one
[Applause]
she's calling her out
[Applause]
she is on fire
she goes down hard she's gonna be
feeling that one for a while
of course it's a long standing tradition
that the winner of the royal rumble goes
on the main event wrestlemania
[Applause]
suplex
the challenger simply will not be denied
as byron mentioned 1993 the first time
the world war winner advanced to
wrestlemania and that year it was
[Applause]
she's too quick
[Applause]
you know guys we're a superstar
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
this might be it oh my
[Music]
[Applause]
tonight she's in a bad way a huge
information right there
[Applause]
big slam
little known fact guys the first ever
royal rumble was broadcast on free
television at the very same time that
the competition was holding their bunk
house stampede pay-per-view coincidence
i think not
specifically targeting the leg
she is on fire
now that's the display of excellent ring
awareness nicely done
a competitor has been eliminated there's
the elimination
caught off guard
when she drops hard ends are looking
pretty good for her now
look out here
beautiful technique that's how you put
an exclamation point on the end of a
match guys
dodges that one
there's still so many superstars to go
as we get set for number fifteen
[Applause]
once again
[Applause]
impact
[Applause]
wow she looks to be all business here
tonight you have to be all business if
you want to win a match like this
michael oh and she gets out of the way
[Applause]
escapes trouble there
harsh impact takes her off her feet
that's how you eliminate somebody's
vertical game
next entrance getting ready to come out
[Applause]
big opportunity here
look at the look in her eyes she's in
the zone now what impact
taking off her feet now and you're not
going to win many matches down there i
can tell you that
nope reverses
[Applause]
yeah this might very well lead to an
elimination byron look who we have here
this changes the entire complexion of
this match
hold on change of plans here interesting
approach michael i'm not sure i would do
the same thing
she's out of it guys yeah she's leaving
herself wide open here
here comes 19.
she gathered it a reversal
she's not careful things can get out of
control in a hurry i think they're about
to uh oh this will shake things up
you're not kidding michael don't let him
back the challenges
but you can bet she won't let this
golden opportunity slip away now
normally they're in terre haute that's
all this is when you compete in a royal
rumble match you have to expect to
absorb some sort of punishment we talk a
lot about dream matchups and the luck of
the draw at the royal rumble and for
good reason with the 2017 royal rumble
there we go
she's not looking good here guys man
she's got to get herself together here
and some people are saying she's one of
the favorites you can count me as one of
those people cole that's for
sure what impact
the challenger's taking on some offense
you can bet she still has eyes on
becoming champion though and now it's
number 21. it's crunch time
delivering the shin breaker
look who's coming now guys this could be
a game changer michael
oh my goodness this hurts oh
and gets out of harm's way oh boy that
could have been bad michael
oh
what a nasty kneeling
she's not careful things can get out of
control in a hurry i think they're about
to
number 22 up next to the rumble these
are prime spots
to be able to challenge it her
opponent's clearly getting the
i really like her approach here guys
despite taking on quite a bit of
punishment she's still in there and i
think a lot of that
this could be it for her wow this shakes
things up to say the least
could be trouble here guys
the challenge is starting to slow down a
bit here here's what we're going to see
what she's made of but don't expect this
to be her downfall
[Applause]
and she drops her that was about as in
your face as it gets
we're looking at complete domination
here oh here she comes guys and she said
she was going to win this thing
oh man
looks like we might get an elimination
guys
here we go guys elimination coming up
beautiful side russian light sweep
dodges trouble there you got that right
michael that had elimination written all
over it
the challenger not looking good right
now
technique is it enough though
you've got to believe this one's over
nice job getting
what out of trouble
escape
right to the back of the neck
big reversal for her there
[Applause]
i think she's trying to prove a point
here
no there's the reversal
oh that'll mess up your shoulder the
challenger is not in a great place i
think this match is starting to take it
all out of her guys there's so much at
stake here guys and if she doesn't get
her act together soon she's gonna let it
all flip away we're looking at complete
domination here
i think we know what this is you know
entering the match at this stage such a
huge
and some people she's one of the
favorites you can count me as one of
those people cole that's for sure
[Music]
[Applause]
impactful will draw your spine
who's starting to falter she's got to
remember her championship dreams are on
the line here normal wear and tear cola
get ready
and she turns it around on her
she shows signs of life she's showing a
lot more than that
heading to the ring with a purpose
[Applause]
ugly impact
oh man
impact
hard landing there nothing to worry
about just a little misstep on her
counting it down who's it gonna be
looking a little dazed here she's
definitely not looking herself right now
cole
things are about to see now you can see
that again
she's got her
that could have been disastrous byron no
doubt in fact i'm a real surprise we
didn't see an elimination there
now
the challenger not looking good right
here the challengers championship
aspirations are beginning to fade i
really like her here we go and she's
knocked off her feet i think that would
cover my surprise michael looks to make
an elimination here
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
the force of that impact should bring
into this match right here
and she goes down hard
side tram he's back in full control
good grief got every ounce of that one
this could be over
run out of options she is on fire
that was amazing what do you think
does she have a chance here tonight of
course she does cole what kind of
question is that
showing some quickness there
this is strike
when we look at the prestige of winning
the royal rumble match and the event
itself hits the world on the road to
wrestlemania we must go back to the
success of the first royal rumble the
match started off with two future wwe
hall of famers
she dodges that one
she comes up big with the reversal
this will shake things up
[Applause]
the challenger not in a
at this point though it's not looking
good for her there's so much at stake
here guys and if she doesn't get her act
together soon she's gonna let it all
flip
just ask her to away disqualified if you
ain't cheating you ain't trying
she's out of it guys yeah she's leaving
herself
[Music]
what took him so long
she got her with a reversal oh man she's
rolling now
looks like we might get an elimination
guys
a competitor
and that's an elimination right there
guys with an exclamation point no less
oh this will shake things up you're not
kidding michael
she might have it
and she turns it around
the challenge is starting to slow down a
bit here
with the championship on the line she'll
have to find a way to fire back her
opponents finally showing signs of life
here for a moment there i thought she
was gonna cruise to victory
this might be it oh my challenger in
some big trouble here this is not where
she wants to be if she wants to walk out
of this match with the goals guys don't
be surprised if she finds a way to win
this thing i'm willing to bet she has a
little more gas in that tank of hers man
if you have a weak stomach you might
want to hide your eyes this is getting
tough to watch
no she's too quick for her
nice job getting out of trouble there no
that hurt me
that should do it wait that's not cool
a bad place to beat for the challenger
she needs to find a way to get back on
the offensive here the 2017 royal rumble
saw more than 52 000 members of the wwe
universe fill the alamo dome in san
antonio texas it was one of the most
exciting in the matches in recent memory
or i couldn't help but notice the amount
of wwe superstars who were first nxt
superstars who have now made an impact
during one of the biggest events in wwe
she's not looking good here guys man
she's got to get herself together here
[Applause]
she wants to finish this
she's out of it guys yeah she's leaving
herself
from here the challengers championship
dreams are fading fully momentum doesn't
appear to be on the challenger's side
here tonight only the absolute elite
superstars have won royal rumble matches
and now we're about to find out if she
has what it takes to be in that category
i can tell you this it went right to the
face that has got to be it if it doesn't
end the match this time it might be time
for a new finisher
she's got her where she wants her
she reverses out of it and not a second
too soon close call there
keep your eye on this one look at this
it's a piercing elbow
what's up
watch out
this could spell trouble corey without a
doubt in fact i'll be surprised if this
doesn't lead to an elimination
dodge's trouble there you got that right
michael that had elimination written all
over it
facebuster yeah that was vicious
oh man
i think she's trying to prove the point
here
you can see the confidence just beaming
from her right now
what a strike right on the mark
look at the look in her eyes she's in
the zone now
here we go
she's in full control now
uh-oh boom
that wasn't just an uppercut that was 24
carats wow she's fought her way all the
way back here even better the second
time around

the challenger not looking good right
now i can tell you this is not how she
envisioned
the chance in a bad way now cole

and powerful strike guys

greatest royal rumbles of all time proud

entertaining and action-filled as that
one they should be grateful and really
proud some great stuff
