In the silver anniversary of the Royal Rumble there were some surprises like Randy Orton, the Big Show, Jim Dungan, Road Dogg, and The Great Khali and then there were SURPRISES like Alex Riley and the annouce team of Booker, King, and Cole all in the match. Then there were surprises of Ricardo Rodriguez to Alberto Del Rio's music and coming out in a car and he got huge pop and eliminated Justin Gabriel with help from Mick Folly but the biggest surprise of the night went to Kharma who eliminated Hunico and had Michael Cole Eliminate himself because of her. The shortest was Epico who lasted like 15 seconds and Cody Rhoades with Dusty at ringside lasted the second longest and eliminated the most in 5 and The Miz lasted the longest with over 45 minutes with Cody and Miz both being eliminated immediately when the Big Show came in at 30 and at the same time while Kofi got the John Morrison by doing a hand stand to the stairs. The final four were Big Show, Y2J (29), Orton (28), and Sheamus (22) and it came down to Sheamus and Y2J and if McMahon would be scared by the marks who said it must be Y2J and he was as Sheamus surprised everyone and won the Rumble and will most likely will fight Daniel Bryant @ WrestleMania 28.
The undercard was just to move along story lines as in a bonus match was Brodus Clay continuing Drew McIntyre losing streak and it was a very quick match. Daniel Bryant won the cage match with Henry not a factor and it ended with Big Show having Bryant's neck in his hand as Big Show sat on the top of the cage and Bryant was danging outside of the cage and Bryant got loose and fell to the floor so squirmy heel Bryant kept the title. Kane and Cena were both counted out and fought to the back where it was shown just before the match where Zach Ryder dressing room and after Kane took out Cena he pushed Ryder in his wheelchair with his neck brace on and took him out to the ring and dumped him on the ramp and hurt him again. The 8 diva match ended with Beth Phoenix slapping one of the Bellas and came into the ring glamslamed Kelly Kelly for the win and ignored the rest of her team to setup her going solo against Kharama.
Then it was CM Punk and Swagger with Johnny Ace as Ref but Johnny decided to be an outside enforcer and sent Vicki back to the locker room at the beginning of the match and Swagger hit and knocked out the Ref. Ace did not want to get into the ring and decided to relived the ref while Punk pinned Swagger 3 times for a three count and Punk doing the GTS hit Ace with Swagger and then when it was time for the finish the Ref started to count the three and Ace came in to finish the count to continue him trying to get in the boys favor going into his review tomorrow night.
It was a not so exciting Royal Rumble as there was no real stand out event in the under card and Y2J would of been a better choice as Rumble winner
