Royal Rumble 1993 - The Results

The Steiner Brothers (Rick and Scott Steiner) beat The Beverly Brothers (Beau and Blake Beverly).

Shawn Michaels retains the WWF Intercontinental Championship against Marty Jannetty. As for whose side The Sensational Sherri is on? It was supposed to be Shawn Michaels, but when she has a chance to hit Janetty with her shoe, she accidentally decks Shawn. It gets even worse after the match, when Sherri runs to the back. When Michaels confronts Sherri, Janetty jumps him, starting a brawl in the back.

Bam Bam Bigelow beats The Big Boss Man.

Bret "The Hit Man" Hart retains the WWF Championship against Razor Ramon with the Sharpshooter.



Bobby "The Brain" Heenan debuts Narcissist...who turns out to be none other than the now-former NWA wrestler Lex Luger. Luger is surrounded by three full-body mirrors to admire himself with, as Heenan keeps telling Luger how great he is. Luger says he will become the most dominant force that the WWF has ever seen. As for Mr. Perfect, Luger will show him just how great he is if he has the guts to take the challenge.

Caesar and Cleopatra from Caesars' Palace in Las Vegas gives a declaration, inviting everyone to come on down to the Palace for WrestleMania 9 on April 4th before officially announcing that the Royal Rumble is about to begin.

During the Royal Rumble, a giant man that the WWF has never seen before is brought into the ring by Harvey Wippleman, who orders him to decimate The Undertaker. His appearance is so sudden that Damien Demento can't even get into the ring until he leaves. Paul Bearer shows up some time later to revive Undertaker with his urn, and sends him after the mystery giant.

Yokozuna wins the Royal Rumble, eliminating "Macho Man" Randy Savage last, who makes the fatal mistake of pinning Yokozuna near the ropes after somehow getting him off his feet. Yokozuna goes on to the WWF Championship match against Bret "The Hit Man" Hart at WrestleMania 9.
