Ol' Sam Zayn was next to go, and WWE had set the table for his elimination earlier in the night with some backstage skits. There, he argued with New Day about conspiracy theories. Come Rumble time, Zayn lasted 13 minutes before being double-teamed by Big E and Xavier Woods.

The reunited New Day lads then sent Sami tumbling out of the ring. Oh well, at least he has more time to work on that documentary.
