WWE Royal Rumble card:

WWE Tag Team Championship: (c) Cody Rhodes & Goldust vs. The New Age Outlaws

What went down: The Road Dogg and Billy Gunn won the WWE Tag Team Championship for the sixth time, and first since 1999. Well, it'll be interesting to see where this goes

Winner: New Age Outlaws, via pinfall (new WWE Tag Team Champions)

Grudge Match: Daniel Bryan vs. Bray Wyatt

What went down: In a back-and-forth match, Bray Wyatt knocked off Daniel Bryan after pinning him with his finisher.

Winner: Bray Wyatt, via pinfall

Grudge Match: Brock Lesnar vs. The Big Show

What went down: Lesnar attacked Show before the match even started, viciously attacking him with a chair. Show rallied and hit him with the KO punch, but Lesnar did not get knocked out (he took the punch well!), and then was able to hoist Show on his shoulders and deliver the F5 for the win. Impressive visual. Then Lesnar destroyed Show with chair shot after chair shot following the match.

Winner: Brock Lesnar, via pinfall

WWE World Heavyweight Championship: (c) Randy Orton vs. John Cena

What went down: Well, this was certainly unique. The crowd hated this match from the start, chanting "Daniel Bryan" before it even started, then "boring" about five seconds in. They chanted for Randy Savage, Y2J, among others, they did the wave, then, in the ultimate insult, chanted "WE WANT DIVAS." The two trades each others moves, but it was Cena who had Orton in the STF when the Wyatt Family's graphics hit and the arena went dark. Lights came back on and the Wyatts were on the apron. Cena attacked, but turned around right into an RKO. After the match, the Wyatts laid Cena out to much applause.

Winner: Randy Orton, via pinfall (still WWE World Heavyweight Champion)
