Winner of the 2012 Royal Rumble: Sheamus

I will say that this wasn’t the best PPV nor was it the worst. Remember this was the 25 anniversary of the Royal Rumble and Hacksaw was the winner of the first one. CM Punk versus Dolph Ziggler was good, while the Cena versus Kane was fast paced and action packed.

Here are the results of last nights WWE Royal Rumble from the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts:

Edge retains the World Heavyweight Title as edge hit’s the unprettier on Dolph Ziggler and then gets the 3 count.

The Miz retains the WWE Title as Nexus/CM Punk interfers. Nexus distracts the ref and CM Punk hit’s the GTS on Orton. Punk drags Miz on top of Orton. The ref recovers and counts to three.

Eve is the new Divas Champ in a fatal 4-way, when McCool pins Natalya and Eve hit’s the moonsault on Layla and both get the 3-count and the ref says Eve is the winner.

The next event is the 40-man Royal Rumble:

Hopefully I got the order the wrestlers entered and got tossed over the ropes:
