The last Royal Rumble Match of the Ruthless Aggression Era got off to a tremendous start (notice a pattern here!?) with The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels kicking things off. They dominated the first half of the 2008 Royal Rumble, with fellow top star Batista joining them at #8.
Royal Rumble 2008 took place at Madison Square Garden, so there were some cool cameos from legends in that match. Roddy Piper and Jimmy Snuka revisited their feud in a pleasant moment, and a few moments later, Mick Foley would enter the fray as well.
Finlay getting disqualified for coming out too early was extremely weird, but everyone forgot about it when John Cena came out last. Cena shocked the world by returning from injury a lot sooner than expected, and he would last eliminate Triple H to win the 2008 Royal Rumble Match.
