Rhodes/Ripley Win Royal Rumble Matches

Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley won their respective 30 man and woman Royal Rumble matches to win opportunities to face whoever the WWE world champions are at Wrestlemania.

Cody Rhodes won his match by eliminating Gunther, who entered number 1 in the rumble and lasted well over an hour in the match.

Rhea Ripley won her match by eliminating both Asuka and Liv Morgan after Asuka sprayed her poison mist into Morgan’s eyes. Ripley becomes the first woman to win the Royal Rumble match after entering at number one.

The Royal Rumble was held in the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas – and had an overwhelmingly large 51,000+ person attendance at the event.

The replay can be seen on Peacock or the WWE Network.

Our own Tim Young and Alex Spencer attended and posted a snippet of the fireworks from the event.
