Surprise Entrants: Mark Henry, Tye Dillinger

Gone from WWE by 2022: Big Cass, Jericho, Kalisto, Mojo Rawley, Jack Gallagher, Mark Henry, Braun Strowman, Big Show, Dillinger, James Ellsworth, Ambrose, Rusev, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Enzo Amore (15)

Notable occurrences: First 7 entrants no longer work in WWE, Gallagher umbrella spots, Braun clears the field, Braun/Show go at it, 11/12 of the first entrants no longer work in WWE, Ellsworth does not enter, Ambrose/Ellsworth spot, Ellsworth brutal elimination, Corbin eliminates Braun to a big pop, Kofi spot, Cesaro swinging everyone, The Bar eliminate The New Day/Jericho elims The Bar/Cesaro and Sheamus get in each other’s faces, RKO party, Wyatt Family drama, Brock enters, elims Ziggler and Ambrose, Suplex City, F5 party, Enzo vs Brock, Goldberg vs Lesnar, Goldberg gets the bettter of Brock again, Taker appears in the ring, Taker vs Goldberg, Taker elims Goldberg, Roman enters at #30 and gets booed, Roman vs Taker, Reigns elims Taker to big boos, Orton & Wyatt vs Roman, Orton wins.

Thoughts: This was a great Rumble. Not much in the way of surprise entrants but a very strong field with multiple potential winners. The thread of Lesnar vs Goldberg/Goldberg vs Taker/Roman vs Taker that carried the last third of the match was sensational in continuing the Lesnar/Goldberg programme, a first interaction between Taker and Goldberg, and starting up Roman/Taker for Mania. The Wyatt’s programme was kept ticking along too.

Verdict: Head and shoulders over 2022.
