To honor The Rock’s 25th anniversary since his debut, WWE announced a 25 man battle royale to be held at Survivor Series 2021. The Rock’s 25 man battle royale started with most of the participants already in the ring. Sami Zayn entered, followed by Ricochet, The Street Profits, and finally the duo of Omos and AJ Styles.

Once everyone started brawling, AJ Styles, the experienced veteran, went out of the ring and protected himself by standing on top of the announce table. Omos displayed his true dominance by eliminating three men consecutively. As he dominated, R-Truth went to the pizza shelf at the ringside to get himself a slice to offer it to the former basketballer, but the big man wasn’t interested.
Truth then offered the pizza to Otis, and he took it. However, Otis was only interested in the pizza and not an alliance, and he eliminated R-Truth.

The Rock’s battle royale was nothing less than explosive
As most SmackDown superstars got eliminated, there came the point where it was just three superstars from the Friday Night show against multiple RAW superstars.
Sami Zayn tried to save the match and teamed up with Ricochet and Cesaro together to unite against the RAW Superstars. However, they ended up disagreeing amongst themselves, and Sami was not happy about it. This led to Cesaro and Ricochet double-teaming against Zayn.
The Street Profits together eliminated Zayn after which they immediately attempted to eliminate Ford, but he hung on. Meanwhile, Omos and AJ worked on Apollo Crews and Azeez. There came a point where Azeez and Omos played tug-of-war with AJ’s body. Omos ended that sequence by eliminating Apollo, going up to eight eliminations.
Seeing Omos’ dominance, the remaining superstars decided to eliminate him together. In that fight, Styles got eliminated and consequently, Omos took out Cesaro, accompanied by Dawkins and Ford.
