 What's good jobs your boy Ross back again with another video So we're gonna check out 10 best championship matches from the Royal Rumble pay-per-views, man Royal Rumble is literally right around the corner. So, you know, it's always good that the pay-per-view Hopefully, you know, it has a good of men's and Royal Rumble actual match and Having some matches, you know throughout the show that are actually quite entertaining. So I'm looking forward to Roman Reigns and Kevin Owens match. I think it's gonna be fantastic. I enjoy their their last man standing match From a few years ago outside of the botched ending that match was fun and chaotic And I wonder if it's gonna be on this list because that was a pretty good match, man They had a pretty good view So it's always good to have good matches sprinkled throughout the actual Royal Rumble pay-per-view So we're gonna check out some of the best championship matches from WWE when it comes to this pay-per-view appreciate all the love and support you guys have shown on the channel and Yeah, let's get right to this one Royal Rumble is WWE's best pay-per-view event. It's the most fun It's the one everyone looks forward to the most It has the most intrigue involved and it makes Sullivan feel all warm and cuddly inside But while the Royal Rumble matches are what most people tune into the show to see the Rumble event Has yielded an incredible amount of stellar matches of the non Royal Rumble variety as well I know the title of this video says greatest championship matches But for the sake of keeping this video a lot more uniform I'm gonna just take the time right now to give the Royal Rumble 1992 and Royal Rumble 2016 the flowers They deserve both as great matches for the WWE championship But this is a list for the non Rumble matches out there If we needed a couple more to fluff up the list and get it to 10 Maybe we would have included them but there is no shortage of great matches from the Rumble to give flowers to So here daisies and roses and tulips to you all tulips whoop whoop tulips whoop whoop I'm Tempest hailing from parts fun known and these are the 10 greatest championship matches from the Royal Rumble But before we get on with our list make sure of course like this video Subscribe and enable notary public loan if you haven't already fun list just like it and it really helps out the channel So just ring that bill ring it ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding Number 10 the Dudley's versus Edge and Christian 2001 back Here is the match that Adam Blampier refused to have not be on this list The 2001 Royal Rumble is one of the best WWE pay-per-views of all time And it does indeed have one of the best opening matches of any WWE pay-per-view The WWE tag division was still firing on all cylinders in 2001 with the epic game of musical belts being played between the hardy's The Dudley's and edging Christian yeah the latter of those two teams going toe-to-toe at the 01 Rumble the action is crisp The crowd is in Fuego. You get a title change which always fires the people up And the whole match is just filled to the brim with peak attitude era energy that just makes me feel so There may be better russled matches out there, but here at PFK HQ And the vibes in this match are immaculate well as long as you ignore the poorly aged Concussion selling from Bubba Ray Dudley, but hey it was a different much stupider time Number nine Chris Jericho versus the Rock 2002 Chris Jericho's reign is undisputed WWF champion is not remembered for many good things He beat the Rock and Steve Austin in the same night to win the title and then well Jericho never really brings up What happened next? Rain was pretty stinky with the focus in his feuds going everywhere but on him But throughout all of this there is one glimmer of quality which is crazy You would think someone beating the Rock in the stone cold in the same night. That's a legendary thing You would think that we kind of calipote him, but they didn't really go anywhere that it's funny The stone cold and the Rock was so over They're one of the few individuals they were just so over that people cared more about Whatever storyline they were involved in a lot of times if they weren't the champion They cared about their storylines more than the actual champion That's when you know you're mega over when the fans they don't need the championship to be on you to still want to see more of you It's it's it's kind of a crazy thing Wrestling in the form of his Royal Rumble 2002 title defense against the Rock Jericho and the Rock have always had very good chemistry together Whether it be as promo partners tag partners or opponents and even with copious amounts of interference and shenanigans from notable worst referee of all time Patrick as well as a belt shot nut shot and the most blatant feet on the rope spot ever Yeah, this is a really good match. This again has the kind of attitude era wackiness that gets 2000s crowd all hot and bothered and if the entirety of Jericho's reign would have carried the same energy Maybe people would have looked back on it a little more fondly John Cena versus umaga Some man. I forgot about this. Damn. It's a piece of umaga, bro. I don't lie to you Umaga was a very good opponent for John like he came off very very menacing like How we look at solo of Sakura now as this menacing threat or what not? It's the same thing with umaga. Like he's seen very dangerous and I at one point. There's a few times within this field. I'm like, yeah I don't know if John's gonna come out on top on this one, bro No, but 2007 was the year that John Cena was the man His track record on pay-per-view that year was incredible serving as the highlights of his year-long reign as WWE champion The beginning of that year, however, saw him go toe-to-toe with a man who never became world champion in WWE But absolutely should have the Samoan bulldozer fell to Cena at New Year's Revolution But stood toe-to-toe with Cena again in a last man standing match at the Royal Rumble a match that surpassed their previous Imaginable that match was not a finesse performer by any means especially at this point in his career But he damn sure could fight and a rough and tough weapons filled brawl with a monster This was unconscious with the ring. Oh, that's that's such a crazy visual I remember watching this. He took the top rope. He had to literally Show him out with a submission just to put him out. That's how that's how like Monsters Is my kind of fight that was shame that umaga never quite reached world title contention again after this match But this was certainly one of the best title matches of Cena's career to that point and a great way to kick off Cena's impeccable 2016 that she was number seven Kevin Owens versus Roman rain debate about whether to include Kevin Owens versus Roman Reigns in 2021 Their last man standing matches also very fun and includes the third best use of a golf carton wrestling history behind Sammy Gavara's brains being scrambled and Raven almost killing Russell mania x7, but that And this one does the referee also stops his count to help really escape defeat in that match, which is just absurd Yeah, they at the Royal Rumble in 2017 then universal champion Kevin Owens puts his title on the line against Roman Reigns in a no DQ Chris Jericho in a shark cage match They could have put they could have put that one and and I got the the match is confused because they did have another match At a Royal Rumble so I did get the match is confused They could have put that one on the list granted once again Even though there was no crowd for that Royal Rumble in the box ending It's still one of my favorite Royal Rumble matches as it was so fucking fun They could have put that one on the list, but this is another good substitution as well There are some nutty spots in this. Yeah, like Kevin Owens being pushed through the iron throne This was instead of being made of a thousand swords. It was made of a thousand chairs A superman punch with brass nuts and finally a run in from Braun Strowman to somewhat ruin the fun That's bad. Although it kept Roman from beating Owens from the title. That's good That's good, but it meant Roman ended up being the number 30 entrance in the Royal Rumble that night. That's bad match itself That's good Kevin Owens versus Dean Ambrose 2016 Quite a lot of time remember this match is on this list Here we have another example of one this time with Kevin Owens taking on intercontinental champion Dean Ambrose I don't think I remember this match. This match is memorable to me for a few reasons Among them are the excellent finish with KO taking a hit and bump through a tower of tables And big kev putting his hand directly in Michael Cole's face and breaking his glasses Which I'm choosing to believe was completely intentional and adds a full star of enjoyment This is just such a fun match The 2016 Rumble is a damn fine pay-per-view and this is the best match on the whole show The intercontinental championship has gone through more than its fair share of peaks and valleys during its lifetime But every once in a while the belt would end up on the right people able to put on a performance of the night and result In a truly fantastic match before the belt would inevitably end up back on the miss and oh god I've just kicked the miss fan hornet's nest and I'm gonna run now. Bye Chris Jericho versus Chris Benoit 2001 a lot of the time we say the top two or three entries in a list can mostly be interchangeable As they all come pretty close to being the best But on this list any of these top five matches can be argued as the best one and you will hear no argument from me That being said here is my argument for number five by 2001 We had seen a drastic shift in the way of the ladder match Thanks to the likes the hearties dudlies and edging christian their tag ladder matches were revolutionizing the stipulation But we hadn't really seen the same for the singles ladder match Hbk and razor Ramon obviously had their classics and the rock and triple h was something entirely different But neither was truly emblematic of the direction the ladder match was going by the early 2000s Chris Jericho versus chris benoit on the other hand Absolutely was and holds up much better in the modern eye than its predecessors Crisp and sharp and exciting the two christs has put on an incredible performance at the 2001 Over the intercontinental championship featuring the first use of Jericho's ladder-assisted walls of Jericho This is a damn fine ladder. I think I've seen highlights. Of course one of the best paid reviews I don't think I remember watching a whole match. I may have to go number four. I can check it out The 2017 royal rumbles world title matches are both excellent But this one is a cut above the other John sena and aj styles 2016 rivalry had seen styles solidly ahead of sena in singles wins Resulting in styles winning the wwe championship in the fall now at the stakes raised even higher Sena now looked to tie rick flair 16 world championship record that actually isn't the real record But that's a fact for another time. Yes. This match is perhaps the peak of john sena's style big move kick out lie there This is this kick out repeat. This is a fun match formulaic match But I'll be damned if that formula didn't produce some incredible matches This match in particular is so impressive with sena and styles never leaving the ring once during their 24 minute classic They're just taking the 50,000 people in the alamo dome on a ride complete with intense drama An excellent character moments like styles reaching for his title after he's lost Only to collapse back to the map when he gets handed to sena You could argue this is the best match of john sena's career and what a career he's had Hey, man, can we I I really do want aj to be the champ again comment down below Let me know if you think aj styles should get at least one more wwe championship run, bro However, they split the titles off roman if we're able to get aj styles as the wwe champ one more time I would be okay with it I would be a okay with it, bro. The dude is just No pun intended phenomenal in the ring, man number three curt angle versus chris benoit 2003 boy the 2003 royal rumble is a funny show You have wwe's worst match of the year in scott steiner versus triple h and then immediately afterwards You have wwe's best match of the year in curt angle versus chris benoit angle and benoit always had Absolutely insane chemistry the kind of chemistry where they could just get in the ring together and just grapple with nothing being called Nothing being planned ahead of time and it would still end up being by far the best thing on the show This match is the best of their epic shows the testament to how good they were in the ring, you know That that's that's really all it is, bro. It shows their Their their skill level is above many others. It just shows when you can go out there No calls you can just kind of get a feel do some grappling I don't know what to tell you that's that You can't you know, that's just something you got to have, you know rivalry with a crowd hungry to see benoit win his first wwe championship Only to be disappointed by angle not willing to give up his title I say disappointed loosely of course as the 15 000 in attendance in boston gave benoit a standing ovation after the match Which is always a sign that the crowd is appreciated a special performance Among them may have been triple h as kurt has said that triple h told him This was the best match he had ever seen when he got back through the curtain Maybe he was just amazed by the gap in quality between this match and the one he had just had Yeah That was a good one Oh, that was such a good one. I enjoyed this one, boy I enjoyed a triple h match that is Exceptional however, this is one neither triple h nor mcfoli were the top guy to carry wwe in 2000 But with steve austin on the shelf for an extended period of time and the rock otherwise occupied with his own path to WrestleMania trips and cactus jack were the ones to take the reins of the main event scene during the start of 2000 And i'll be damned if they didn't put on the best rivalry of the year Triple h had yet to fully prove himself as the top heel of wwe He had been wwe champion a few times and was well on his way But needed a true career solidifying rivalry to cement that position Enter cactus jack the hardcore legend and the perfect person to make triple h have to prove his toughness in order to remain Incredible and shout out to to mcfoli. He he's done the job for so many people in the business It's insane. He did the job for orton to show his toughness He did the job for edge to show his toughness He did the job for triple h to show his toughness He didn't really have to do too much for the undertaker because he just came off as an imposing threat But guess what? He still did the job to let people know this motherfucker will kill you like i We gotta give him his flowers He lent he willingly took all this punishment to put people over to prove to Everyone else this motherfucker is legitimate. He could kick your ass in any hardcore setting. I I can appreciate that man Gotta appreciate that top guy in the eyes of the fans at the 2000 royal rumble These two had a legendary street fight inside Madison square garden complete with every form of violence You could oh my god A wildly intense crowd Brain melting violence complete with a beloved baby face and a truly detestable heel This is a real lightning in a bottle match. I want you to understand. He took a pedigree handcuffed to some goddamn thumb tacks a pedigree wall handcuffed to some thumb tacks face Be the most integral moment of triple h's rise to the main event scene and it is by far My favorite triple h match of all time But in terms of matches at the royal rumble fantastic man finishes just shy of number one Brock Lesnar versus john sena versus seth rollins 2015 God awful put it in a hole set it on fire and bury it still screaming bad I forgot 2015 royal rumble event is it does have the best example I forgot that that bro that that match happened that same show I forgot Damn no this match is great. This match was I I I expected it to be good, but I ain't know it was going to be this fucking good that match was chef's kiss fantastic great match on a bad show Go watch adam's list of great matches To find out the other night Brock Lesnar gala and seth rollins went to war over the wwe champion So good And I don't know if the perfect match exists But if it does this is one of this was so good This is the good the bad and the ugly with the good john sena fighting valiantly against the bad seth rollins He was trying to weasel his way into the title with j&j security doing his bidding and the ugly movie monster brock lesnar Who was intent to destroy everyone in his path with no discrimination? This was the most perfect example of brock lesnar suplex city destroyer of all mankind run And the people were 100 behind him and his sheer awesomeness He had amazing spots like brock lesnar suplexing both of j&j security And once seth rollins hitting the most graceful flying elbow of all time and lesnar emerging from the grave to run wild And retain his title because unstoppable killer brock lesnar was at one time the thing we all wanted and then unfortunately And that's our list make sure I forgot that was that I it's so crazy because my mind wants to distance the greatness from the sheer utter Horribleness, so that's why I forgot it was on the same show I for whatever reason I thought that match was on a completely different show And maybe subconsciously my brain has separated that great match from this horrible ending of a Royal rumble because it didn't want to make the connection that this was all on one show Because I truly forgot it was on the rule on that same card Either way, I am okay with that being number one. That was a very very good match Honestly, you can honestly switch out the two. You could maybe put mc foley i mean mankind No, mc foley versus a triple h street fight match You could put that at number one and this at number two depending on your preference But I'm not okay with i mean i am okay with that being number one But comment down below. Let me know what's your favorite championship match from the royal rumble Let me know down below, man And do you think there's gonna be some good match good championship matches this year at this year's role rumble Like I said at the beginning of the video.
