During the brief Men’s Royal Rumble’s run-through, Jax found out that she’d burst into the ring by wiping out several of the men. In Mysterio’s case, he was knocked down by a big boot and an elbow drop. From there, Jax was slated to eliminate Ali from the match, then deliver a shoulder tackle to Orton, a respected veteran and world champion in WWE.
Much to Jax’s surprise, Orton went on to take a bump while coming off her shoulder tackle. Even more surprising to her was the successful superkick-619-RKO combo that followed.
“We get into it,” Jax said. “I beat up Truth. Poor Truth. I beat the s*** out of Truth. Go in there, run the spots, go to tackle Randy, he takes a bump for me. I was like, ‘Is that supposed to [happen]?’ In my mind I’m thinking like, ‘S***, did I just hit Randy too hard?’ Meanwhile, I hear Kim [Orton] cussing me out. She’s yelling at me, and I’m like, ‘Oh s***.’ Then we run through it, the 619, the RKO. I’m like, ‘Holy s***, this is not happening.’ Then they dump me, they dropkick me off the apron.
“When you’re in the moment, you don’t realize it,” she added. “When I was done, I was like, that was a massive moment for me that those guys didn’t have to. They could have said no, but they just did for me.”
Moments after Jax’s elimination, all of the aforementioned men faced their own elimination, leaving just Braun Strowman and Seth Rollins in the ring. Despite Strowman’s strength and size advantage, Rollins managed to drag “The Monster Among Men” over the top rope, then nail him with a curbstomp for the 2019 Rumble victory.
