This year’s showcase WWE event will be known, however, for the quick succession of eliminations which saw Goldberg, in at No 28, IMMEDIATELY eliminate Brock Lesnar, before Goldberg was eliminated by the The Undertaker.
So yet again, Goldberg has Lesnar's number. Expect the pair to battle for a third (and final) time at WrestleMania on April 3.
Reigns, who had lost to Kevin Owens earlier in the night, more than teased a heel turn during the Rumble following his heavily-booed No 30 entry, and after eliminating The Undertaker, the self-styled 'Big Dog' shouted: "It's my yard now!" at Taker.
Catch up with the Royal Rumble - as it all unfolded with our live blog from the night.
Elsewhere on the card, John Cena equalled Ric Flair's record of 16 world title wins.

John Cena hit four, yes FOUR Attitude Adjustments on AJ Styles to win the world title for a record-equalling 16th time, levelling the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
The standout match of the night saw the pair trade some devastating spots - including a TOP ROPE AA, plus a Styles Clash and Phenomenal Forearm from Styles.
