[As Rusev, who'd been out of the ring for a little over nine minutes, re-enters]
Guys, guys, guys, Rusev's in this! Spear! Looking back, Rusev was never eliminated!
Rusev is still in this match! Rusev entered at #15, and looking back at my notes...
No, Rusev was never eliminated!
[Roman tosses Rusev out, finally winning the Rumble]
But now he is! Roman Reigns is going to WrestleMania!
Here is your winner: Roman Reigns!
We have witnessed the advent of Roman Reigns! Last year, he tasted it as runner-up; this year, he wins it!
JJBL
[on Brock Lesnar watching in the locker room] That's the prize that awaits Roman Reigns—Brock Lesnar.
[Buzzer sounds for entry #3. An unfamiliar theme plays, and the TitanTron reads, "I am." As it reveals "phenomenal," the crowd erupts at the entrance of...]
JLJohn "Bradshaw" Layfield
It is!
The Phenomenal One is here! AJ Styles!
BSByron Saxton
Oh my God!
It has been rumored for weeks that the hottest free agent in sports entertainment was heading to WWE! Styles is here!
JJBL
Former IWGP Champion, same as Brock Lesnar!
An 18-year veteran, a mastermind of offensive innovation.
A star around the world. Roman Reigns realizes what he faces now.
And entering at #12 is R-Truth. R-Truth's eighth Royal Rumble Match.
I'm just happy he knew what day the Royal Rumble was on.
[Once R-Truth gets to the ring, he pulls a ladder out from underneath and pushes it in]
What is he doing? [R-Truth sets the ladder up in the ring] John, do you have any idea what he's doing?
JJBL
I know what he's doing, Michael; I don't know why. He's...putting the ladder in the ring, but I don't know why.
[R-Truth climbs the ladder as everyone else in the ring stops to look at him.]
Wait, wait, wait a minute. No, no, no, no, no. [R-Truth reaches the top of the ladder and looks up to find nothing there.] I think R-Truth thinks this is a ladder match for the Championship.
JJBL
That young man is not all there.
I think he was expecting the WWE World Title to be hung above the ring, and he'd climb the ladder to grab it.
[Kane pulls R-Truth down]
JJBL
That's the wrong event.
[during this, Kane grabs R-Truth by the neck, and pushes to eliminate him] Either that or the briefcase, maybe he thought it was the Money in the Bank Ladder Match, and he's eliminated by Kane.
Ambrose... [Dean Ambrose throws Triple H over the top rope] Triple H OVER THE TOP ROPE! AMBROSE'S GONNA DO IT! [But Triple H hangs on to the rope] AMBROSE'S GONNA DO IT!
Wait, he hung on! He hung on!
[Ambrose spears Triple H, but Triple H retains his grip on the rope] Triple H still hanging on! [Ambrose charges again] Is this gonna be it?!?
JJBL
Here we go! [Triple H sticks his knee out, and Ambrose runs into it]
Triple H caught him with a knee to the face! How the hell is Triple H still in this match? [While Ambrose is stunned, Triple H takes Ambrose over the top rope]
Oh... oh... [Triple H eliminates Ambrose, winning the Rumble and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship]
AMBROSE ELIMINATED! TRIPLE H IS A 14-TIME WWE CHAMPION!
Ladies and gentlemen, your Royal Rumble winner, and the new WWE World Heavyweight Champion: Triple H!
Triple H is a 14-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion! Triple H will main event WrestleMania!
I can't believe what I'm seeing right now!
[Stephanie McMahon enters the ring and embraces Triple H, while Mr. McMahon stands on the apron] And Stephanie McMahon in the ring celebrating with her husband, as is Mr. McMahon.
JJBL
What a great night for the Authority!
What an incredible Royal Rumble match!
