20 Greatest WWE Royal Rumble Undercard Matches
15. Dean Ambrose Vs Kevin Owens (2016)
A thrilling battle made all the more spectacular by the fact that both would have starring roles in the evening's 30-man war hours later, Kevin Owens and Dean Ambrose continued the Intercontinental Title's return to prominence with a sensational Last Man Standing effort.
Concluding the best series Owens had engaged in since his introductory main roster feud with John Cena, 'The Lunatic Fringe' and 'The Prizefighter' brushed aside some early comedy around breaking Michael Cole's glasses (and almost his iPhone) to get very f*cking serious indeed with an collection of chair, table and environment spots believably employed to put one of the competitors down for the count.
Particularly gruesome highlights saw Owens planted through two steel chairs on a powerbomb reversal, 'KO' catching Ambrose from a dive and ramming him into both the apron and the stairs and the Champion elbowing the challenger from the top rope through a table on the floor.
After both rebounded from the near-fatal spots, it took a last gasp from Ambrose to save his title. Recovering from his horizontal base on five steel chairs, he hurled Owens from the turnbuckle through two tables set up then crucially ignored nearly 15 minutes earlier.
