WWE Royal Rumble January 26: United States Championship Match

Carillo hit two arm drags spring boarding off the ropes, but Andrade pushed him off the top rope down to the floor and into the barricade to secure the advantage. Carillo got a little offense in around the six minute mark and connected with a moonsault on the outside. Andrade would keep things going as he hit two vertical suplexes, but Carillo countered the third to hit one of his own. Andrade slammed Carillo into the turnbuckle and hit double knees for a near fall.

Andrade and Carillo both stood on the top rope exchanging chops when Humberto jumped up and hit a hurricanrana for a two count. Carillo and Andrade exchanged roll ups with Andrade getting the best of Carillo for the pinfall victory.
