| 0:00.0 | It was a late night for the Royal Rumble. I didn't know if I was watching an AWP review or a WWE |
| 0:05.6 | paper view. I wasn't sure there, but it is 12 30 in the morning. As I sit here, Royal |
| 0:12.8 | Rumble is my favorite event of the entire year. I'm sure it's probably your favorite |
| 0:17.4 | pay-per-view as well. I look forward to it every year. Some years WWE lets me down. Some |
| 0:24.5 | years they just give us a rumble that just makes you shake your head and go. This is the |
| 0:27.7 | best they can come up with. I think back to last year's Men's Royal Rumble, which was the |
| 0:32.3 | most boring Royal Rumble match that I have ever seen. So I had high hopes for Triple H's first |
| 0:39.4 | book Royal Rumble this year. And what we ended up with here when this night was over had nothing |
| 0:46.0 | to do with the Royal Rumble matches. It's two Royal Rumble matches on this show. And what |
| 0:50.8 | people are going to be talking about is not going to have anything to do with Cody Rhodes, |

| 1:01.4 | angle that we saw at the end of the night. Doesn't even have anything to do with the actual |
| 1:05.7 | main event match, which was Roman Reigns against Kevin Owens. That is what they closed the show |
| 1:11.9 | with. You knew they were setting up for some kind of big angle. If the Royal Rumble match was not |
| 1:17.2 | going on last, something was going to happen. There were reports the Rock's mother was in the crowd |
| 1:24.0 | tonight at the Royal Rumble at the Alamo Dome. Early on in the main event, we had Michael |
| 1:28.4 | Cole dropping a rock bottom reference, which he never does. And so it got me wondering if they |
| 1:34.3 | were saving a big appearance for the end of the show. We didn't get that big appearance. |
| 1:40.0 | When this show was over tonight, it wasn't about the Rock. It wasn't about bringing somebody |
| 1:45.4 | back from the past. It was about focusing on the men that are involved in not only the greatest |
| 1:51.1 | storyline going today in WWE, but I said this before I'll say it again. This is the greatest |
| 1:56.4 | storytelling in at least two decades that we have seen in WWE. This bloodline storyline has been |
