The two shook hands after the match but Jericho refused to release Styles' hand while giving him a staredown before leaving. In the climax of the match, as Lynch applied the Dis-arm-her on Charlotte, Ric Flair threw his jacket onto Lynch.

For 2016, however, the reigning WWE World Heavyweight Champion was scheduled to defend the title in the Royal Rumble match as entrant number one, marking the second time that the promotion's world championship was the prize of the match (the first being at the 1992 event), but the first time in which the champion defended the title in the match. [17] On the January 14 episode of SmackDown, Owen's accepted Ambrose's challenge to a Last Man Standing match for the Intercontinental Championship at the Royal Rumble.[13]. Lynch kept going after Charlotte's arm. These guys sometimes have really good chemistry and sometimes look like awkward dance partners stepping on each other's feet. In comparison, Pruett felt that Triple H came across as "the conquering hero" and "avenging party" in the storyline against Reigns.
Flair pulled Charlotte out of the ring. He hasn't been on TV for half a year, and fans still roared for him. Reigns was not eliminated and eventually returned to the ring. A number of timely near-falls made for a compelling climax. Roman Reigns the defending champion, was also eliminated by Triple H. The event was also notable for the WWE pay-per-view debut of longtime TNA mainstay AJ Styles as a participant in the Royal Rumble match.
When Bray Wyatt entered, The Wyatt Family attacked Lesnar again and eliminated him from the match. The pre-show match was also rated 3 out of 10, described as a "snorefest" and a "mess".

Sheamus performed a Brogue Kick on Wyatt and, together with Triple H, eliminated Wyatt. He described the United States Championship bout as "a hard-hitting match that featured a great false finish", and expressed his desire for Kalisto to have an extended run with the championship. With the WWE World Heavyweight Championship on the line in the pay-per-view's main event, Reigns collided with the majority of the roster. The Miz avoided getting in the ring by sitting on commentary instead of fighting.
However, as a culmination of his attempts to deprive the WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns for attacking his son-in-law Triple H and overall disrespecting the McMahon family, WWE CEO and Chairman Vince McMahon decided that Reigns would have to defend his title in the Rumble match as entrant number one. [12] Early in January, Curtis Axel, Ryback, The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, and Braun Strowman), Dolph Ziggler, Chris Jericho,[11] Stardust, and Sheamus[13] were added to the match.

Lastly, Powell described AJ Styles' re-debut as "one of the highlights of the night", and noted the positive crowd responses to Becky Lynch and Damien Sandow. The New Day survived a flurry of superkicks. The matches resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches, with results predetermined by WWE's writers, with storylines produced on their weekly television shows, Raw and SmackDown. [4], James Caldwell of PWTorch.com praised the Intercontinental Championship match, writing: "What a match. It is one of the promotion's original four pay-per-views, along with WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series, dubbed the "Big Four". The Dudley Boyz seized the momentum next. Hard to expect much more from a match with zero build and two teams that fans haven't seen wrestle together. Big E catches Jey in midair, then hits the Big Ending.
