Roman Reigns has emerged victorious from the 30-man Royal Rumble in Philadelphia on Sunday night.
The former Shield member, who broke the record for number of eliminations in a single match last year, entered at number 19 before getting down to a final four that also included Kane, Big Show and Rusev.
Kane and Big Show were promptly eliminated before returning to the ring to attack Reigns, who was unaware that Rusev remained in the contest, but The Rock, Reigns's cousin, entered the ring to ward off the two giants.
After hiding outside of the ring, Rusev returned to try to capitalise after the beatdown to Reigns, but he recovered quickly to throw Rusev over the top rope.
Reigns will now face Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania 31 after 'The Beast Incarnate' recovered from being put through a table to defeat Seth Rollins and John Cena in a triple-threat match.
