The Men's Royal Rumble match from 2019 was one of those editions where only a couple of performers had a legitimate chance of winning and, unsurprisingly, two of these men ended up being the last two Superstars in the match - Seth Rollins and Braun Strowman.

After his in-ring exploits from 2018, Rollins was the favorite the win the Men's Rumble match, and he accomplished the feat with his best performance in the 30-Man Match. Entering the match at #10, The Kingslayer stayed in the match for exactly 43 minutes before he eliminated Braun Strowman with a Curb Stomp on the ring apron to win the Royal Rumble.

Apart from Strowman, he also dispatched Elias and Bobby Lashley, two Superstars with whom he had feuded extensively over the last 6 months, and also took a beating at the hands of the latter. Despite all that, he put on a gutsy and strong performance to book a ticket to the Universal Title match at WrestleMania, which he won after defeating Brock Lesnar, in less than 3 minutes.
