Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Where was the 2016 edition of the "Royal Rumble" held?

Answer: Orlando, Florida

The 29th "Royal Rumble" was held in the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida. A sold-out arena witnessed six matches over the course of the event, including the "One vs All" Royal Rumble match.

Arlington, Texas (one of the incorrect options) hosts Wrestlemania 32.

2. On the pre-show, four teams faced each other to qualify for the Royal Rumble. Which entrants won the match to enter at numbers 22 and 24 respectively?

Answer: Mark Henry and Jack Swagger

Two legitimate tag teams in The Dudley Boyz and The Ascension faced two thrown together teams for a shot at the chance to main event Wrestlemania. Mark Henry and Jack Swagger won the match, but fared poorly, only lasting 45 seconds between them.

Answer: Last Man Standing

A fantastic way to excite the crowd in the early going, it was another in a killer streak of undercard Royal Rumble matches. Dean Ambrose would retain his title by pushing Kevin Owens off the top rope and through two stacked tables.

4. Which team successfully retained their WWE Tag Team Championships against The Usos?

Answer: The New Day

A fun tag team match only helped by Xavier Woods' antics on the sidelines was won with a Big E "Big Ending". The New Day would later return as part of the Royal Rumble match later on in the night as Big E caught Kofi Kingston as he was thrown out of the ring and paraded him around on his shoulders.

5. Alberto Del Rio was the WWE United States Champion heading into the event, but was beaten for his title by which masked wrestler?

Answer: Kalisto

Kalisto picked up his second United States Championship with a "Salida del Sol" to his Mexican opponent. Kalisto had only won the title for the first time on the January 11th Raw before Alberto Del Rio won it back just three days later on the January 14th SmackDown.

6. Becky Lynch faced Charlotte in a losing effort for the WWE Divas Championship in a match that featured Charlotte's famous father kissing Becky Lynch halfway through, who is her famous father?

Answer: Ric Flair

Living up to his "kiss stealing" tag, Ric Flair randomly kissed Becky Lynch during the match to provide yet another distraction. Charlotte would retain the title before Sasha Banks came out to attack both competitors.

Answer: Thirty

A standard thirty-man Royal Rumble match, the championship was put on the line after Vince McMahon continued to stack the odds against Roman Reigns who held the championship heading into the event. There had only been one forty-man Royal Rumble match prior to the event, at Royal Rumble 2011.

8. Entering at number 3, which world-renowned wrestler made his WWE debut to a huge pop from the WWE Universe?

Answer: A.J. Styles

AJ Styles was briefly signed to the WWF back in 2002, but spent the majority of his career in TNA before appearing as a surprise entrant at #3, although his appearance was rumoured for weeks. Styles made a big impression, lasting 28 minutes before being thrown out by Kevin Owens.

9. Brock Lesnar eliminated (and was eliminated by) three members of which WWE stable?

Answer: The Wyatt Family

Lesnar eliminated Harper, Rowan and Strowman before all three returned to the match to throw him over the top rope. This was only Lesnar's second appearance in the Royal Rumble, he previously won it in 2003.

10. Who won the 2016 Royal Rumble and the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, last eliminating Dean Ambrose?

Answer: Triple H

Triple H eliminated three competitors including Roman Reigns, the champion heading into the event leaving Dean Ambrose as the surprise member of the final two. Triple H lifted Ambrose over the top rope in the end to capture his fourteenth World title with the company.
