The match to determine the new champions was scheduled to take place at the Royal Rumble. The 1-2-3 Kid and Holly advanced to the finals, as did Ted DiBiase's team of Bam Bam Bigelow and Tatanka. The Gunns requested that they get a title shot after the tournament when Bart had recovered. As a result, the 1-2-3 Kid and Bob Holly took their place. During the tournament, The Smoking Gunns were forced to withdraw when Bart Gunn was injured in a rodeo accident. The title was vacated, and the WWF held a tournament to determine the new champions. Although the pair held the WWF Tag Team Championship together, Diesel said that he did not want to team with Michaels any longer.

He agreed to grant a title shot to Bret Hart, who, like Diesel, was also a fan-favorite.Īlso at Survivor Series 1994, Shawn Michaels and Diesel had an argument after Michaels accidentally kicked Diesel in the face. Three days after Survivor Series, Diesel faced Backlund and won the title belt. After Owen was unable to win the title, he helped Bob Backlund win the belt from Bret at Survivor Series 1994. The storyline behind the WWF Championship match began in 1994, when Bret Hart was feuding with his brother Owen.
Although Shawn Michaels won the match, Anderson came to the ring at WrestleMania with Diesel. Pamela Anderson was at ringside and was supposed to accompany the winner of the Royal Rumble match to his WWF Championship match at WrestleMania. Bam Bam Bigelow attacked National Football League Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor, who was sitting in the crowd this set up a match between the two at WrestleMania. Several storylines from Royal Rumble 1995 were carried over to WrestleMania XI, the WWF's next pay-per-view. Two other title matches took place Jeff Jarrett won the WWF Intercontinental Championship from Razor Ramon, and The 1-2-3 Kid and Bob Holly won the final match in a tournament that determined the new WWF Tag Team Champions.
The match was stopped when several other wrestlers interfered and the referee lost control of the match. The event also featured a match for the WWF Championship, when Diesel defended the title against Bret Hart. The main event was the 1995 Royal Rumble match, which Shawn Michaels won after entering first and outlasting the 29 other wrestlers for the first time in WWF history. The reviews have been mostly positive, although critics have expressed disappointment that wrestlers entered the Royal Rumble match every sixty seconds instead of every two minutes as in previous years. The event featured five matches based on scripted storylines and the results were predetermined by the WWF.
It took place on January 22, 1995, in the USF Sun Dome located in Tampa, Florida.

Here, we’re going to predict the full WWE Royal Rumble 2021 card and exactly who is most likely to win each match.įor clarity, the following matches are confirmed and announced by WWE to take place at the 2021 WWE Royal Rumble: As a result, we can likely expect one match on this year’s Royal Rumble Kickoff Show and one (maybe two) added to the main card of five that is already announced. WrestleMania 36 (on both nights), SummerSlam 2020, and Survivor Series 2020 all had a one-hour Kickoff Show with a single match on it. In previous years, the Royal Rumble had a two-hour Kickoff Show, but WWE has been setting a standard of only one-hour Kickoff Shows - even for their Big Four pay-per-view events - since hosting without a live audience. However, the company will likely schedule only one Kickoff match this year. Looking at the last three Royal Rumble pay-per-views, which are the only others that included a Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble, the show has featured six or seven matches on the main card, with two or three of them occurring on the Kickoff Show. As of now, there are five confirmed matches for the event.
