Undertaker eliminated Snitsky, HBK then eliminated Michaels, and then Michaels was thrown out by Mr. Kennedy. Mark Henry then came in at #25. Undertaker decimated Snitsky on the outside. Hornswoggle then came out from under the ring and helped eliminate the Miz who was hanging onto the top rope. Chavo Guerrero came in at #26. Kane eliminated Morrison. Mark Henry drug Hornswoggle in the ring, and then Finlay ran in to protect him. Finlay and Hornswoggle then left the ringside area even though Horsnwoggle was never technically eliminated.

Jim Ross then noted that Finlay was disqualified for jumping the gun and entering the ring early. Elijah Burke then came in at #28. Chavo eliminated Punk.

Triple H came in at #29 and eliminated Cody Rhodes. He then eliminated Big Daddy V, Mick Foley and Elijah Burke who got tied up with Foley on the way out. He then hit a pedigree on Umaga.

Huge shock as John Cena then came in at #30 to a huge response! Cena threw out Carlito, Henry, Chavo and stood face to face with Triple H. Triple H was shocked to see Cena. They started going back and forth. Batista eliminated Kennedy and Umaga. Triple H and Batista eliminated Kane.

It's now down to Cena, HHH and Batista.

After a few minutes of action, HHH eliminated Batista and we're down to Cena and HHH. They both pointed to the WrestleMania sign and the crowd was on fire.

Surprisingly the crowd already turned on Cena and they chanted "Yay!" when Triple H would hit Cena, and "Boo" when it was the other way around. Cena hit the five knuckle shuffle, went for the FU but both guys hit each other with a double clothesline. Cena got Triple H in a FU and dumped Triple H to shockingly win the Royal Rumble!

Winner: John Cena
