[00:31:15]Still fighting back. LOOK AT HIM GO.

[00:31:17]Trying to hold on. Desperate to avoid elimination here. Oh, I've got a good feeling about this one. Number 26 ready to come out and win this all.

[00:31:30]No doubt Rusev is coming into this rumble focused and driven.

[00:31:39]The slam J looking a little less than main event after that one. That type of physicality earning reigns the advantage. One reversal after another.

[00:32:48]Putting those educated feet to good use in a series of kicks and a big forearm to finish.

[00:33:11]Oh, kick right to the gut.

[00:33:38]We got three left. Could this be options? The target section might be getting bigger here. Counter. He knew just what to do. We've got Undertaker entering the Royal Rumble chaos.

[00:33:55]He's been taken hold of a slam.

[00:34:05]What a kiss.

[00:34:11]Saw it coming with a sharp elbow.

[00:34:17]Tombstone slam.

[00:34:23]Goldberg used a massive flame to full crucifix. Oh, it looks like Feb just got eliminated.

[00:34:37]>> Looking for elimination here.

[00:34:42]>> And there he goes. Damen Priest eliminated from the rumble.

[00:34:45]>> It's got to feel great to be fresh as a daisy this late into the match. Entrance number 29. A very lucky superstar indeed. 2006 Royal Rumble winner Rey Mysterio joins the chaos.

[00:35:52]Final countdown is underway. We find lucky number 30 coming up down on the opponent. Now Jimmy Uso heading into the rumble with a purpose.

[00:36:12]>> Rusev a step ahead.

[00:36:22]grabbing your opponent by the throw. And there it is, the elimination. Reigns can't be happy being eliminated like that. Tilt the roman scissors. Despite his impressive agility, Undertaker unable to avoid that. Oh yeah, causing damage. Causing some harm, baby.

[00:36:44]Super kick.

[00:36:52]Looks like Mysterio just got eliminated.

[00:36:55]Kick it out for cover and Jimmy able to reverse that.

[00:37:05]Finds the room to land a back elbow. Oh, that's a good getting him into the corner.

[00:37:21]>> What's Rusev crafting?

[00:37:26]Side slam into the turnbuckle yet again. Overhead.

[00:37:41]suplex.

[00:37:47]Up they go. Oh, atomic drop.

[00:38:06]Almost over the ropes. Struggling to stay in this match.

[00:38:17]And there he goes down harm's way.

[00:38:22]>> A nice shot by the Undertaker. One of the best strikers in the business.

[00:38:29]>> The dead man has them hoisted up into position. Two stone pile driver.

[00:38:36]Quick maneuvering managing to avoid that bit of offense.
