but not before he swung Rollins by his legs 23 times in a row.

Poor Seth.

ACCEPTED COMMENT: That’s Rollins not Ambrose

Batista eliminated 4 people in his first match after a 4 year absence, he also won the Royal Rumble for the second time in his career, after eliminating Roman Reigns (and being met with a chorus of boos).

It was reported that after the show went off-air, Batista argued with a fan, flipped him off and went to the top of the ramp, then he did Daniel Bryan’s signature Yes! chant (the crowd chanted Bryan’s name throughout this match and the championship match between Randy Orton and John Cena) but instead of motioning up his pointer fingers, he did it with his middle fingers

JBL is a wrestler-turned announcer. When he went into the ring, he turned his back and told fellow announcer Michael Cole, “Hold my coat.” Roman Reigns sought an opportunity and promptly eliminated him (breaking Kane’s record of eliminations with 12).

FUN FACT: Michael Cole announced this to be “JBL’s Royal Rumble debut”. This gimmick had never been seen in a Royal Rumble battle royal, but this was far from Layfield’s debut. He made an even shorter appearance in Royal Rumble 2000 (lasting 25 seconds), and he lasted 35 minutes and 45 seconds in the 1998 Royal Rumble as “Blackjack Bradshaw”.

The Second City Saint lasted from #1 all the way until the final 4, when Kane (who he eliminated earlier) took him out from behind…

He then chokeslammed Punk through the Spanish announce table… The significance of this is that this is potentially the last time we’ll have seen CM Punk in the WWE. Following this event, reports have surfaced that he quit the company (really quit). Check their exchange out here.
