For the third time in WWE history, the No. 1 entrant in the Men’s Royal Rumble went the distance and won the Rumble match. Edge joined Shawn Michaels and Chris Benoit as the only man to accomplish the feat, lasting more than 58 minutes.As announced on FS1’s WWE Backstage the night before, Edge and Randy Orton kicked off the match as the first two entrants. The two brawled before Orton could even hit the ring, and Edge eventually planted him on the commentary table by countering an RKO with an Edgecution. Orton was then helped to the back after limping with a leg injury.

Former world champion Christian made his surprise return during the match. He helped eliminate Bobby Lashley from the bout, then embraced Edge.

The final sequence saw Edge and Rollins as (seemingly) the final two. Edge dodged a Curb Stomp to eliminate Rollins, then ran right into an RKO from a returning Orton. He managed to counter Orton’s Irish Whip at the last second to win the match.
