**winner receives a spot in the Heavyweight tournament
The entrants for the rumble were not a secret. All competitors were announced. They were all wrestlers who had already competed in a PWF event (including tonight) either as singles or tag teams, but had not yet qualified for the Heavyweight tournament. Entrances were done randomly.
#1: Road Warrior Hawk
#2: Dynamite Kid
** The bell rings, and Road Warrior Hawk immediately charges at Dynamite Kid with his trademark intensity. Kid, using his speed and agility, ducks under Hawk's clothesline attempt and responds with a series of quick strikes and kicks.

[Tiger Jeet Singh elim by Austin]

#8 Eddie Guerrero
**Guerrero basically slinks into the ring, trying to blend into the woodwork.
**Hogan in the meantime turns to Austin and receives a kick to the gut and a stunner. Austin tosses Hogan over the top rope much to the shock of the crowd.

He follows up with his signature knee drop, but Graham kicks out at two. Flair then attempts to lock in the Figure Four Leglock, but Graham powers out, sending Flair into the turnbuckle.
Graham capitalizes with a bear hug, squeezing the life out of Flair. The crowd rallies behind Flair as he struggles, eventually breaking free with a series of chops to Graham's chest. Flair then hits a low blow, unseen by the referee, and rolls Graham up for a near fall.
As the match progresses, both men become visibly exhausted. Flair climbs to the top rope, but Graham catches him and throws him to the mat. Graham then hits a running clothesline, followed by a body slam, and goes for the pin. Flair, showing his resilience, kicks out at the last moment.
In the final moments, Flair rakes Graham's eyes and executes a chop block, setting up the Figure Four Leglock in the center of the ring. Despite his immense strength, Graham is unable to reach the ropes and taps out, giving Flair the hard-fought victory.

Main Event
30 Man Royal Rumble
**winner receives a spot in the Heavyweight tournament
The entrants for the rumble were not a secret. All competitors were announced. They were all wrestlers who had already competed in a PWF event (including tonight) either as singles or tag teams, but had not yet qualified for the Heavyweight tournament. Entrances were done randomly.
#1: Road Warrior Hawk
#2: Dynamite Kid
** The bell rings, and Road Warrior Hawk immediately charges at Dynamite Kid with his trademark intensity. Kid, using his speed and agility, ducks under Hawk's clothesline attempt and responds with a series of quick strikes and kicks. The two trade blows, with Hawk's power clashing against Kid's technical prowess. Neither man gains a clear advantage as they battle across the ring, setting a furious pace for the match.
#3: Fit Finlay
**The Irishman makes an alliance with Hawk and the two beat on Kid for the entire two minute period but are unable to eliminate him.
#4: Tiger Jeet Singh
**Singh at first joins Hawk and Finlay trying to eliminate Kid, but after some failed attempts he budges in past Finlay, drawing the ire of the Irishman.
#5: Billy Robinson
**The Brit looks at Kid who is still hanging on for dear life against an assault from Hawk. Instead he joins Singh in the attack against Finlay.

#6 Steve Austin
**The crowd erupts as Stone Cold hits the ring. He nails Robinson, then Singh with stunners. He tosses Singh over the top rope.
[Tiger Jeet Singh elim by Austin]
**Austin then nails Hawk from behind, and follows up by hitting an already beleaguered Dynamite Kid with a stunner. Hawk recovers but when Austin tries to hit him with a stunner the Roadie counters by throwing him across the ring.
#7 Hulk Hogan
**The crowd goes nuts when Real American plays. Hogan does what Austin did, laying out everyone, but his weapon of choice is punches. He tries to toss Kid over the top rope but the Brit skins the cat to stay alive.
#8 Eddie Guerrero
**Guerrero basically slinks into the ring, trying to blend into the woodwork.
**Hogan in the meantime turns to Austin and receives a kick to the gut and a stunner. Austin tosses Hogan over the top rope much to the shock of the crowd.
