WWE Royal Rumble 2016 Results: Live Reaction and Review

WWE Royal Rumble 2016 Results: Live Reaction and Review

Welcome to Bleacher Report's live coverage of the 2016 WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view.
Roman Reigns is set to defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the 30-man Rumble match. Not only will he have to contend with dozens of current Superstars, but he will also have to fend off Brock Lesnar and Chris Jericho.
Reigns was forced into the No. 1 spot, so the odds are heavily stacked against him. He won last year's Rumble, but that was after entering the match at No. 19.
WWE likes to have surprises during the Battle Royal, so we could end up seeing some legends, new WWE signings, NXT Superstars or people returning from injuries appear in the match.
In addition to the main event, every other title will be on the line. Here's a look at the final card for Sunday's show, according toWWE.com:
  • The Ascension vs. The Dudley Boyz vs. Darren Young and Damien Sandow vs. Jack Swagger and Mark Henry (the winners get spots in the Royal Rumble)
  • Charlotte (accompanied by Ric Flair) vs. Becky Lynch for the Divas Championship
  • Alberto Del Rio vs. Kalisto for the United States Championship
  • Dean Ambrose vs. Kevin Owens for the Intercontinental Championship in a Last Man Standing match
  • The New Day vs. The Usos for the Tag Team Championships
  • Royal Rumble match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship
Will Kofi Kingston find another creative way to save himself from elimination in the Rumble?
Can Lynch overcome Charlotte and Flair to win her first Divas title?
Will Ambrose or Owens be healthy enough after their bout to take part in the main event?
Can Kalisto regain the U.S. title from Del Rio to continue their game of hot potato with the belt?
And lastly, can Reigns possibly retain the WWE World Heavyweight Championship with so many things working against him?
Make sure to bookmark this page and come back Sunday night at the start of the Royal Rumble at 8 p.m. ET on the WWE Network. BleacherReport will have answers to these questions and coverage of all the action. And make sure to check out B/R's Royal Rumble expert predictions panel before the show.
