The results for the WWE Royal Rumble 2016 have been released online for fans to see.

As known to the public, the organization has been trying its best to improve its professional wrestling championship contest upon the last two years consecutively. It has gone on full steam into the WrestleMania Season.

Last Sunday night, is was the first time that the WWE world Heavyweight championship was defended in the Annual Royal Rumble contest.

The full list of the WWE Royal Rumble 2016 results has since been published by numerous websites, including Philly.com.

The pre-show match included Mark Henry & Jack Swagger defeating Damien Sandow & Darren Young, The Ascension & The Dudley Boyz. The Intercontinental championship (Last man standing) had Dean Ambrose defeating Kevin Owens

To add to that, the Tag Team championship winners The New Day went against The Usos and eventually won. The United States championship featured Kalisto defeating Alberto Del Rio.

As to the WWE Divas championship, Charlotte was seen defeating opponent Becky Lynch, and last but not the least, the winner of the Royal Rumble was Triple H, who also went home with the WWE World Heavyweight championship.

Bill Hanstock of SB NATION has published details of the contents and here's a gist of the noteworthy points:

The opening match on the show was a tag team war for the right to earn two spots in the match. It was Mark Henry and Jack Swagger who managed to win.

AJ Styles made his highly anticipated WWE Debut. Entering at No.3, he remained in the match for around 27 minutes and got through. He's likely to be positioned as a serious player in the future.

As fans remember, Braun Strowman has eliminated both Kane and Big Show single-handedly, while Kofi Kingston got eliminated by Chris Jericho.

Sami Zayn made his big NXT debut making his second ever time since the match against John Cena last year. He eliminated Owens and continued to look like a tough opponent And Ambrose won the Last man standing match.

Evidently, the biggest happening at the WWE Royal Rumble 2016 was Triple H winning his first world title, which is the World Heavyweight Championship of this year. He had made his big return entering the Rumble at No.30 and winning it by eliminating Dean Ambrose.
