WWE Royal Rumble: 10 Awesome Moments

5. Kevin Owens Drops Dean Ambrose Through Table

As aforementioned, Kevin Owens and Dean Ambrose tore the house down at the Royal Rumble. These guys had quite the shift, with both being involved in the main event over-the-top-rope match too, but all eyes were on their show-opening brawl. One of the biggest moments again involved those oh-so-familiar tables. Tables were a theme of the Rumble show overall, and both Owens and Ambrose played a starring role in that respect. Poised dangerously on the top turnbuckle, Owens turned the offensive strategy of Ambrose to his favour, thundering him through a nearby table in the ring. The move he used has been seen before, but the table added some extra wow-factor to the moment. That hooked suplex - almost a Brainbuster style move - that KO does looks sick and more than a little brutal. The fact Ambrose went through a table because of it looked even more awesome, and this would have been a believable way to end the bout. Incredibly, WWE had something else in mind for that.
