It's 2022, and it's already time to the start the Road to WrestleMania, starting with the Royal Rumble PPV! Which man and woman will win their respective Royal Rumble matches? Bobby Lashley looks to regain the WWE Championship in a dream match with the champion Brock Lesnar. Seth Rollins will try to win the Universal Championship from Roman Reigns. Join us for the live results on Saturday, January 29th starting with the pre-show at 7 PM ET/6 Central on social media, and the main PPV at 8 PM ET on Peacock (USA) and the WWE Network (worldwide). Hit F5 or refresh as often as you like for the latest updates!

The Kickoff gets underway at 7 PM ET with the panel of Kayla Braxton, Kevin Patrick, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Booker T and Peter Rosenberg starting to preview the PPV card. Sonya Deville eventually joins the panel to speak on the card as well, and Booker T calls her out on participating in the Royal Rumble as a conflict of interest with double standards. Backstage, AJ Styles comments that something he has yet to do is win the Royal Rumble. We get comments from Damien Priest and he warns the other competitors not to wake up his dark side. It seems as there is no Kickoff match, and we are ten minutes away from the top of the hour.

Time for the PPV at 8 PM ET! The Road to WrestleMania is now open and the path goes through the Royal Rumble! After the brilliant opening video package, the show gets underway in St. Louis, Missouri with 44,390 fans in attendance. Michael Cole and Pat McAfee welcome us to the event and we get started with the Universal Championship match. Roman Reigns is the first superstar out, he's the champion for 516 days, and he comes out alone as The Usos are banned from ringside and Paul Heyman was fired and moved on back to his previous client. Only four men in WWE history have held the world title longer than him. Out next is Seth Rollins to THE SHIELD THEME SONG, he's wearing THE SHIELD ATTIRE, and comes down through the crowd like old times!

Reigns gets annoyed, Rollins is in his head, so Reigns locks in the GUILLOTINE! Rollins fights through it, reaches for the ropes, fades, the referee Charles Robinson checks his arm and Seth grabs the bottom rope! The ref tells Reigns to release the hold, counts up to 5, and disqualifies him! WINNER by DQ: SETH "FREAKIN" ROLLINS; however STILL the Universal Champion: Roman Reigns!

Reigns still has the Guillotine held on! "He deserves this! He deserves it!" The crowd is booing loudly as Reigns WILL NOT release the hold, but he finally lets go and the crowd chants that he sucks. Rollins comes to, Reigns grabs a chair from ringside, whacks Rollins on the back, and continues to repeatedly batter him with the chair. Reigns looks cathartic as he finally has a slight smirk on his face, steps out the ring, but he goes back to grab another chair, and hits him with the chair a lot more until it's destroyed! Reigns is finally smiling throwing up the One, then he takes his championship and leaves still the Universal Champion.

Jimmy Smith, Corey Graves and Byron Saxton are on commentary with a destroyed table.
