Even though most of the pro wrestling world knew it was almost a guarantee to happen, people still reacted like crazy when Triple H emerged as #30 in the annual Royal Rumble match. To his credit, Roman Reigns exhibited the perfect facial expression, telling of his dismay that such a huge name and bitter on-screen enemy had entered so late. It was a flawless tale by WWE, one designed to rally support behind the sometimes unlikeable Reigns and make him the top babyface in the company. Such a scene wasn't alone in an event crammed full of moments which can accurately be described as awesome. Kofi Kingston had his yearly elimination escape, but eventually tasted the mats as he left the bout, and Chris Jericho had a fine showing the 30-man affair. These were just some cool moments from the first pay-per-view of 2016, but what were the standout ones from the Royal Rumble overall? The moments listed in this article made the event feel worthwhile, something aided by excellent match positioning and the fact that every bout was given room to breathe and tell somewhat of a story to fans. This list chronicles the awesome and the memorable from the 2016 Royal Rumble.
