Royal Rumble 2020 - The LIVE Results





Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Bayley, who calls Lacey Evans' image a facade as she says that Lacey's dream will not come true and that Lacey's daughter will see that first-hand.

R-Truth tries to go into the ring for the men's Royal Rumble, despite declaring and un-declaring himself for the match, even though the match has not started yet.

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Charlotte Flair. Charlotte says she let her emotions get the better of her last year, and this year, instead of seeing 29 competitors, she sees numbers, and when they see her, they will see "The Queen."

Backstage, Kayla Braxton interviews Kofi Kingston, who says that the Royal Rumble is the most exciting night of the year and a one-way ticket to WrestleMania. He also states that he does not know when he is entering the Royal Rumble, and that he stays ready for the Rumble to get into the main event of WrestleMania. He also says that he has talked strategy with Big E, and that if either of them win, The New Day (Kofi, Big E, Xavier Woods) wins as a whole.

Roman Reigns beats King Corbin in a Falls Count Anywhere Match following a Superman Punch and Spear on top of the dugout in a match that also sees The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) brawl with Robert Roode and Dolph Ziggler.

WWE expresses their condolences to the family of Kobe Bryant and the families of those who perished in a helicopter crash this morning.

#17 Charlotte Flair last eliminates #30 "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler to win the 2020 Women's Royal Rumble match. After the match, Charly Caruso interviews Charlotte, who says she has been "a diamond cut to last" since day one, and regardless of what the fans wanted, she reminded the fans that this is her division. During the match:

Mighty Molly makes a surprise appearance at #3. She is eliminated by #2 Bianca Belair.

Lana shows up at #5 to put herself on a pedestal as "the greatest WWE Superstar in the world" and says that she is better than all the fans and that she will win the women's Royal Rumble match for Bobby Lashley. She is eliminated by #7 Liv Morgan, who eliminates Liv in turn before both women brawl on the outside.

#8 Mandy Rose avoids elimination by suddenly landing on Otis, who pops up out of nowhere on the ringside floor. She is eliminated alongside #10 Dana Brooke when #2 Bianca Belair knocks Deville off the apron after Otis has to catch Mandy and save her from elimination again, knocking Deville into both Mandy and Otis and causing Otis to drop them both, eliminating Mandy and Deville simultaneously.



#18 Naomi returns in the women's Royal Rumble for her first match in months. At one point in the match, she grabs onto the barricade without her feet touching the floor after being pushed off the steel steps by #23 Natalya. After pulling herself up, she pushes herself across the barricade, gets on an announce table and sizes up the situation. Eventually, Naomi uses a piece of the commentary table as a bridge to the steps and gets back in the ring, but ends up being eliminated by #30 "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler.



Beth Phoenix makes a surprise appearance at #19. She scores a surprise elimination on #23 Natalya near the end of the match, but is eliminated by #30 "The Queen of Spades" Shayna Baszler.

Backstage, King Corbin says that Roman Reigns is relying on The Usos (Jimmy and Jey Uso) and that he is so scared that they had to help him get the job done, then says he cannot hide behind The Usos a second time when he eliminates him in the men's Royal Rumble match to headline WrestleMania.

Bayley retains the WWE SmackDown Women's Championship against Lacey Evans after getting the knees up to block the top rope moonsault from Lacey and grabs the tights during the pinfall.



"The Fiend" Bray Wyatt retains the WWE Universal Championship against Daniel Bryan in a Strap Match. After the match, the lights go out, and when they come back, The Fiend has disappeared.

Halfway up the ramp, Daniel Bryan falls down, but he gets back up under his own power and limps to the back.

It is announced that Bobby Lashley and Rusev will not be in the men's Royal Rumble match following a brawl in the parking lot that has left both men not medically cleared to compete tonight.

#16 Drew McIntyre last eliminates #26 Roman Reigns to win the 2020 men's Royal Rumble match. During the match:

#2 Elias says that there is "a brain-dead gorilla and his fat zookeeper" in the ring during his entrance to the ring, then sings a song called "Sacrificial Lamb" before #1 Brock Lesnar attacks him, smacks him with his own guitar and eventually eliminates him.

When #10 Shelton Benjamin shows up, #1 Brock Lesnar pretends to ally with him after Paul Heyman tells him he is proud of him and wants him to reunite with Lesnar. Lesnar eliminates him.

MVP makes a surprise appearance at #12. He chases Paul Heyman around the ring before #1 Brock Lesnar nabs him and eventually eliminates him. For the first time in years, #6 Kofi Kingston does not creatively save himself from being eliminated.

#1 Brock Lesnar is eliminated by eventual winner #16 Drew McIntyre - being McIntyre's first elimination in the process - following a kick to the groin from #15 Ricochet after eliminating the first thirteen men to enter after him and lasting 26 minutes and 23 seconds (26:23).



Edge makes a surprise entrance at #21. He eliminates #18 "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles (who injures himself after landing on the shoulder during a Spear) and turns on #25 Randy Orton to eliminate him, but is eliminated by #26 Roman Reigns near the end of the match. (During the initial broadcast, Edge hits #19 Dolph Ziggler with a Spear; the cameras unintentionally cut to the crowd as soon as it happens. Less than two weeks later, the camera angle that caught the Spear is edited into the program on WWE Network.)



#30 Seth Rollins comes out with Buddy Murphy and AOP (Akam and Rezar), who help him eliminate other competitors and save him from elimination once, with AOP catching Rollins as he is tossed over the top rope by #27 Kevin Owens. He is eliminated by #26 Roman Reigns.
