It says everything about WWE in 2019 that this story somehow gets forgotten for not being that crazy. In any other promotion, in any other year, this would be seen as the absurdist masterpiece that it is, but in Vince's House Of Big Bad Banter Boys it was just a Sunday night.

Nia Jax, having been unceremoniously eliminated by Becky Lynch earlier in the night, decided that her unique strategy would be to enter the men's match. Making her the first, and currently, the only person to ever do two Royal Rumble matches in the same night. Ambushing R-Truth as he attempted to enter at number 30, she threw him into the screens (injuring him in the process) and took his place in the match.

An RKO and 619 later she was evicted from that match as well and every single person watching looking to their nearest friend for confirmation that they had, in fact, just witnessed that. What a time to be alive, and subsequently what a time to be Dean Ambrose, with whom an even weirder house-show rivalry was forged.
