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!
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.
[on entry #3: Bubba Ray Dudley] OH MY!
WHAT?! Oh, you've gotta be kidding me!
Welcome home to Philly!
[having eliminated four people] Open invitation! Everyone in the back, I hope you got the message! This is Bray Wyatt's year!
[as Bray Wyatt stands alone] Remember, Roman Reigns set the record last year—12 eliminations in a single Rumble.
[over Cole] Not a damn one of you's takin' it! Not a damn one of you's takin' it!
[cont'd] Bray Wyatt is at five.

#10 will soon be on his way. What a performance so far, guys, by Bray Wyatt.
Just waiting.
It's only gonna take me about half a minute!
[on Daniel Bryan] Chinese calendar says 2015 is the year of the goat; we're about to find out if that's true!
[on entry #18: Adam Rose, accompanied by his Rosebuds] First Royal Rumble. Three people had a 100% success rate in the Royal Rumble—Brock Lesnar, Big John Studd, and Mr. McMahon.
[As he says this, Rusev throws Kofi Kingston out of the ring over Adam's head, but Kingston is caught by the Rosebuds]
Lookit!
[as the Rosebuds carry Kingston around the corner] But Kofi's not on the ground. Kofi's not on the ground.
Thrown all the way over the top rope, [Rusev flings Rose into the ring] but caught by the Rosebuds.
Both feet have to hit the floor, [The Rosebuds prop Kingston onto the ring, then make their way back] and Kofi Kingston...
Those idiot Rosebuds! How stupid can they possibly be?!
[As he says this, Rusev eliminates Rose on the same side as Kingston, who rolls back in]
Adam Rose eliminated by Rusev!
And no Rosebuds to catch him!
Where were the Rosebuds?! Where did they go?! What a bunch of goofs. You can't trust a guy that dresses up like a hot dog!
[furious, pissed off and frustrated, when Big Show, Kane, and Roman are alone in the ring] BULLSHIT!
[hearing the negative chant reaction from the fans] WWE fans, of course, not happy with the elimination of the, the likes of Daniel Bryan and Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler here tonight, after the absolute dominance here in the last few minutes by Big Show and Kane.
[As Kane and Big Show try to eliminate Roman]
Like you said, Michael, what's gonna happen between Kane and Big Show when they get rid of Roman Reigns? [Big Show tries to push Kane out with Roman] There's what's gonna happen! Look!
[Kane elbows Big Show, then confronts him]
Big Show, I think...I think he was trying to keep Kane in the match.
I don't think so. I think he was trying to eliminate Kane and Roman Reigns at the same time.
[Kane and Big Show start trading blows]
That's what Kane believes.
Here they go!
Haymakers landed by these two massive men. [Both grab each other by the neck near the ropes] This is a test of wills right here.
[Roman picks up both men's feet...]
Hey, Roman Reigns! Roman Reigns!
He's got 'em! Can he do it?!
[...and pushes both over and out of the ring, seemingly winning the Rumble]
Eliminates both men! Eliminates Big Show and Kane! Roman Reigns!
Roman Reigns has won the Royal Rumble!
Roman Reigns is headed to WrestleMania!
[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!
WHAT?!
Rusev is still in this match! Rusev entered at #15, and looking back at my notes...
I thought he was gone!
No, Rusev was never eliminated!
Well, wait a minute!
[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!
[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...]
Is it? Can it be?!
It is!
The Phenomenal One is here! AJ Styles!
Oh my God!
It has been rumored for weeks that the hottest free agent in sports entertainment was heading to WWE! Styles is here!
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?
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.
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]
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.
[to AJ Styles, before eliminating him] Welcome to the WWE!
[Sheamus is about to hit a second Brogue Kick on Dean Ambrose, but Ambrose ducks in the nick of time]

[While Reigns's back is turned, Triple H (who entered at #30) dumps him over the top rope...] Whoa, wait a...
[...and eliminates him] ROMAN REIGNS ELIMINATED!
Oh my gosh. [Triple H performs the "DX Chop" in celebration]
Roman Reigns is no longer champion! We are guaranteed to have a new WWE World Heavyweight Champion, and it's going to be Triple H or Dean Ambrose! The Authority and Mr. McMahon finally did it!
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?!?
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!

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.
What a great night for the Authority!
What an incredible Royal Rumble match!
