Every once in a while, you get a group of like-minded wrestlers entering the Royal Rumble together who team up to dominate the match. If its done well, it can be pretty fun to watch, and it sets the table for a conqueror to save the day. Luke Harper, Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman combined to eliminate seven men (Kane, Big Show, Neville, Stardust, Mark Henry, Sami Zayn and Brock Lesnar). The trio at one point whittled the ring down to just the three of them and Chris Jericho and Dean Ambrose. Things werent looking good for them, but then the conqueror arrived in the form of Lesnar. Brock would take out all three men before theyd return and dump him. It wouldve been a lot cooler had Brock tossed them en route to winning or if Bray Wyatt won because of his family but it still was good to see the pack mentality return to the Rumble.
