Brock Lesnar, Ronda Rousey, Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch were the big winners at Sunday's Royal Rumble PPV in Phoenix, Arizona, as both former UFC stars retained their titles, while Rollins and Lynch outlasted the 29 other competitors in the men's and women's Royal Rumble matches.
As a result of their battle royal victories, Rollins and Lynch have both earned title matches at Wrestlemania 35 in April. It is believed that Rollins will go after Lesnar and Lynch will challenge Rousey.
