10 Biggest Shocks From WWE Royal Rumble 2016

10. Kevin Owens And Dean Ambrose Take Outrageous Punishment

Fans expected the Kevin Owens-Dean Ambrose Last Man Standing match to be a worthy addition to the Royal Rumble's undercard and maybe even steal the show - but the sheer quality of the bout and the lengths to which the competitors went were still stunning. Knowing that the show was lacking a traditional World Title match, Owens and Ambrose pulled out all the stops to make the Intercontinental Championship seem more important than it has in a while. Owens hit a running cannonball on Ambrose through the guardrail, Ambrose came back with an elbow drop through a table, and Owens hit a Falcon Arrow through another table. Add several chairshots into the mix, and fans got a bout that ranked among the Cena-Owens trilogy or The Shield's best brawls. Ambrose picked up the win by shoving Owens off the top turnbuckle and through two stacked tables. After such a valiant fight for the title, expect it (and Ambrose) to feature strongly at WrestleMania.
