Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce the world's most famous ring announcer and voice of champions, Michael Buffer!
MBMichael Buffer
Ladies and gentlemen, from the mecca of sports and entertainment, Madison Square Garden, New York City, this is the moment the world has been waiting for: the 2008 Royal Rumble! The rules are as follows: the superstars who drew #1 and #2 will start. Once the match begins, another superstar will enter every 90 seconds based upon the number drawn earlier tonight. This will continue until all 30 superstars have entered the ring. The only way to be eliminated is to be thrown over the top rope with both feet hitting the ground. The last man in the ring will be declared the 2008 Royal Rumble winner. And along with his triumphant place in history, he will be awarded a championship match at WrestleMania XXIV! And now, the time has arrived. 30 superstars shall enter this ring, but only one will be victorious. Are you ready?! [The crowd cheers] Madison Square Garden, New York City, USA, are...you... [drawing it out] ready?! [Another cheer] For the sold-out, standing room only thousands in attendance here at the Garden and the millions watching around the world, ladies and gentlemen... LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE!!!
[Triple H dumps Orton over the top, but he lands on the apron]
Orton's gon... Orton's not gone! [Triple H Pedigrees Cody Rhodes] What a Pedigree! A Pedigree to Rhodes! [ Ted DiBiase runs at Triple H, but Triple H sends DiBiase flying over the top rope to the floor, eliminating him] DiBiase's gone! We're down to three! We're down to three!
[Triple H tosses Cody, eliminating him]
There goes Rhodes! He's gone! Cody Rhodes is gone!
[Orton, now back in the ring, dumps Triple H out of the ring, winning the Rumble]
Triple H...is gone! ORTON DID IT!

Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the 2009 Royal Rumble: Randy Orton!
Randy Orton from behind! Just as the Game had eliminated Cody Rhodes, Orton struck!
The Game eliminated 2/3 of Legacy, but Randy Orton took advantage of opportunity to win the 2009 Royal Rumble! And you know what this means!
[as Cody and Ted re-enter] It means that that man, Randy Orton, has a one-way ticket to the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania. But he didn't do it alone—there's his help.
...
The Game fought and fought and fought, tried to hang on, but it was too much. The odds were too much, and now Randy Orton's legacy is this—he is guaranteed a championship match at the 25th Anniversary of WrestleMania.
[as Orton points to the WrestleMania sign] 48 minutes and 27 seconds it took Randy Orton to win this Royal Rumble.
Randy Orton is going to WrestleMania to become a champion, to compete in the main event, and it's guaranteed.
John Cena's been in the match the longest, over 25 minutes thus far. Batista, remember, entered at #30, Edge at #29.
Well, HBK entered at #18, so he has to be in at least a minute longer than... [As he says this, Batista charges Cena, who grabs the top rope and pulls it down, sending Batista over to elimination] ...CENA! OH!
John Cena, a little payback from 2005. John Cena has eliminated Batista. We are now down to two.
[as Edge preps from the other side of the ring] Watch your back, John.
[Edge runs to spear Cena...]
Here it is. [...but Cena catches him with a knee] Look at him take advantage. Cena...saw it coming... [Cena charges Edge, but Edge steps aside and tosses him out of the ring, winning the Rumble] OH NO! EDGE HAS DONE IT! EDGE HAS DONE IT! EDGE IS GOING TO WRESTLEMANIA!

Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the 2010 Royal Rumble: The Rated-R Superstar, Edge!
Oh, my God! On this day, I see clearly. The Ultimate Opportunist, Edge, is going to WrestleMania!
I cannot believe it, ladies and gentlemen. Edge wasn't supposed to be here. Edge wasn't supposed to be back in action for months, and he came from out of nowhere, and he entered at #29, and he eliminated John Cena, and he's won the Royal Rumble match!
[As Chris Jericho tries the Codebreaker on Sheamus, he gets caught and dumped over the top rope, but hangs on, avoiding the floor]
No, they didn't hit. The referee's right there; his feet did not hit the floor. This match continues.
[as Jericho gets back onto the ring] Once again, Jericho teeters and holds on for dear life.
[Sheamus hits the Brogue Kick on Jericho]
[Jericho falls to the floor, winning the Rumble for Sheamus]
Sheamus is going to WrestleMania!

Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the 2012 Royal Rumble: Sheamus!
Ladies and gentlemen, the Great White is gonna be on the prowl on South Beach! Sheamus is going to WrestleMania!
[Ryback carries John Cena, who escapes and pushes Ryback...]
[...over the top rope to the floor, winning the Rumble]
John Cena is going to WrestleMania!
JRJustin Roberts
The winner of the Royal Rumble: John Cena!
The 10-time WWE Champion is going back to the dance, to the main stage, to the grandest of them all, WrestleMania!
John Cena has made history tonight. John Cena becomes only the fourth man to win two Royal Rumble matches.
[John points to the WrestleMania logo and the fireworks go off]
There was Austin, there was Shawn Michaels, there was Hogan, and now there's Cena!
Day 435 will be tomorrow for CM Punk! Admit it now, Michael! He's the best in the world!
JJustin
The winner of this match and still WWE Champion: CM Punk!
This is absolutely horrendous!
It's all fair, Michael, in love and war! CM Punk is the best in the world! Now would you please acknowledge...
No, we're gonna acknowledge it.
How is that fair?! We watched The Shield, three feet away from us, walk out here and triple-bomb The Rock through a table!
Michael, I saw the exact same thing you saw! Michael Chioda, the referee, didn't see it! CM Punk is about to leave the Royal Rumble Champion!
So you're saying it's not cheating if you don't get caught.
That is ex...oh, you're one to talk, King!
Here it comes! Another People's Elbow! [Rock hits the Elbow on Punk] Yes!
What do you gotta do to beat this guy?!
Cover, hook of the leg. [Chioda counts to three] THE ROCK HAS DONE IT! THE ROCK HAS DONE IT! THE ROCK HAS DONE IT!
[over Cole] You're kidding me! You're kidding me!
JJustin
The winner of this match...and NEW WWE Champion: The Rock!
The ten-year wait is over!
The Rock is again People's Champion!
Ten years, just like Muhammad Ali came back and won the World Championship, The Rock, the Great One!
It's a Roman Reigns moment. Is it his night? [Reigns flings Batista, but Batista reverses and tosses Reigns out, winning the Rumble] Roman Reigns eliminated! Batista's going to WrestleMania!
JRJustin Roberts
Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the 2014 Royal Rumble: Batista!
Batista is going to headline WrestleMania XXX for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship!
What a showing, though, by Roman Reigns. 13 Superstars eliminated by that one man.
