The show opens with footage from The Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, and is sold out, with nearly 50,000 fans in attendance. Michael Cole and Corey Graves welcome us. The music of Pat McAfee, who made his return to WWE, is playing, and he’s got huge support from the crowd.
After being announced by Mike Roma, McAfee makes his way to the commentators’ table, where he is joined by Cole and Graves.
In the ring, Roma announced that the opening match of the night would be the 30-man Royal Rumble match. The Imperium’s music plays, and WWE Intercontinental Champion Gunther enters first place in the match. He now plays Sheamus’ music, with the Irishman being the second to enter, reprising the September fight of last year, at Clash at the Castle, facing Gunther again. The bell has rung.

Rhodes finally takes down Gunter, winning the fight.
With this victory, Cody Rhodes who was the last competitor to enter the fight, secured his spot in the main event of WrestleMania 39.

Mountain Dew – Peach Black Match: Bray Wyatt vs. Los Angeles Nite

After the fight, who appears to be possessed, pursues the White Knight, who tries to escape. Knight runs away into the crowd, but still hits Wyatt’s head with a bat several times, however, the World Eater does not feel anything with the sticks. Knight runs to part of the stage, but Wyatt catches up and knocks him out with his “mandibular claw”. At the top of the structure appears Uncle Howdy, who jumps on Nate, and puts a “Diving Elbow Drop”. Several flames erupted around White, who raised his arms. Play your music while some Firefly Fun House characters appear on the tall structure Howdy is using.
It’s been announced that there will be 51,338,000 fans at The Alamodome tonight.

30 Women Royal Rumble Match: Rhea Ripley was the winner
– Ripley finally eliminates Liv Morgan by winning the match.
With this result, Ripley secured her spot in one of the main events of WrestleMania 39.
Continuing the show, singer Hardy and his band come to the ring to sing “Sold Out”, the theme song for the WWE Royal Rumble.
The next match will be the main event of the night between Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship. Let’s move on to the video summarizing the rivalry.
Undisputed WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns with Sami Zayn and Paul Heyman vs. Kevin Owens
– Reigns applies the “Spear” to Owens, followed by a pinfall.
After the match, the blood streak in the ring is shown in full. Jey Uso was preparing to put the Bloodline contract on Sami Zayn, however, Roman Reigns stopped him and says it’s not over yet. He reigns and the entire Bloodline begins attacking Owens in the ring. The attack is brutal. After several “Superkicks” from The Usos, a chair rests on Owens’ neck and Solo Sikoa places a “cannonball” on him in the corner.
Zane clearly begins to despair at what he’s seeing. Heyman hands the handcuffs to Reigns, who passes them to the Usos. Owens handcuffed Owens to the ropes and again began applying several “Superkicks”. Reigns grabs the chair and goes to attack Owens, however, Zayn steps in front of him and says it’s not necessary. Reigns then handed Zayn the chair and told him to hit Owens on him. Zayn doesn’t want to do it though, and the entire Bloodline starts cheering him on, saying it’s his big moment.
Reigns loses patience and starts shoving Zayn, ordering him to attack Owens, however, when he turns his back, he ends up getting hit by Zayn himself, shocking everyone. Ji Uso despairs, as does Jimmy. Jimmy lands a “Superkick” on Zayn and proceeds to punch him in the ring. Sekua pushes Jimmy away and starts hitting Zane as well. Jey Uso leaves the ring, frustrated, not being part of the attacks. Reigns destroys Zayn with a chair in the center of the ring, ripping his “Uce Emeritus” shirt completely.
The show ends with The Bloodline leaving the ring, while Zayn and Owens remain devastated to the canvas.
the end of the show.
