Royal Rumble Victory Details
I was humbled, man. I know as soon as they told me it was me. They told me like halfway during the day, Saturday. They were like, ‘Hey, we need the last four to come in here.’ I’m last four. I see who’s with me. I’m like, Yeah!’ They let me know, man, and then I automatically was like, ‘Man, I would show to my brothers.’ … I knew I liked it too because I knew not one person at the arena think it’s going to be me.
This triumph establishes Uso as the fourth member of the Anoa’i family to secure a Royal Rumble match victory, joining the ranks of Yokozuna, The Rock, and Roman Reigns. The accomplishment came after a 36-minute performance, during which he eliminated three competitors including Shinsuke Nakamura and Sami Zayn.
