Brock Lesnar wins WWE men’s Royal Rumble match

After losing the WWE Championship earlier in the night, Brock Lesnar returned to win the men’s Royal Rumble match.

Lesnar entered the Rumble as the 30th entrant. The match came down to Lesnar and Drew McIntyre, with Lesnar throwing McIntyre out of the ring with an F-5.

Lesnar eliminated McIntyre, Shane McMahon, Riddle, Bad Bunny, and Randy Orton after coming into the Rumble last. The full list of entrants and the order in which they were eliminated can be seen here.

As the winner of the men’s Rumble, Lesnar will challenge for either the WWE Championship or Universal Championship at WrestleMania 38 this April. Lesnar challenging Universal Champion Roman Reigns is the plan for the show.

Reigns cost Lesnar the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble. Bobby Lashley pinned Lesnar to win the title after Reigns interfered.

Following a referee bump, Reigns ran into the ring and speared Lesnar during his match against Lashley. Paul Heyman then betrayed Lesnar by handing the WWE Championship belt over to Reigns. Reigns laid out Lesnar by hitting him with the belt.

This is the second time in his career that Lesnar has won the Royal Rumble. He also won the match in 2003.
