WWE Royal Rumble 2019 Men's Rumble: How Every Elimination Happened

18. Dean Ambrose

He eliminated Johnny Gargano, but Dean Ambrose felt like a non-factor in the Royal Rumble. Such is the mess WWE have made of his post-turn direction.

Aleister Black's arrival saw Ambrose, Drew McIntyre, and Andrade go after the former NXT Champion, with Dean the first to fall, eating a Black Mass then taking a wacky bump to the outside.
