Last Sunday, WWE presented the 26th annual Royal Rumble pay-per-view live from Phoenix. Not only did it surpass last year's vast disappointment of a show, but it certainly set the stage for the remainder of the year as well.

Of course, almost all of the outcomes were pretty predictable, but the important thing is that they all made sense and were logical. The action itself in each of the matches was what made this event worth watching and definitely worth the purchase.

While watching the show, I noticed a handful of highlights that could be seen as interesting or intriguing to any ordinary WWE viewer. For those of you who may follow me on Twitter, you'll know that I have an obsessive knack for fun facts regarding various past WWE events.

Here, I'll attempt to entertain and enlighten you with knowledge, as I present my observed monumental, record-breaking, history-making moments from this year's Royal Rumble event.

Royal Rumble 2013 Spoiler: Two Former WWE Stars Confirmed as Surprise Entrants

The first two surprise entrants for the 2013 Royal Rumble have been confirmed. The news leaked earlier today via the subscriber-only newsletter from PWInsider.com, before being picked up by several other sites as well.

Both men left the WWE in 2010 and are both former Intercontinental, United States and tag team champions.

Cagesideseats.com ran the details from the newsletter on their site. 

The article states the two confirmed surprise entrants will be Shelton Benjamin and Carlito.

A look back at WWE's most infamous commercial

THE ROCK

Commercials during the NFL’s championship game have become as much of an annual tradition as the big game itself. Each year, hundreds of millions of viewers anxiously await the first commercial break, looking for laughs or the first glimpse at upcoming summer blockbusters. But in 1999, no ad created more buzz than the 30-second spot that offered a rare look inside WWE’s world headquarters in Stamford, Conn.


Broadcast during the height of The Attitude Era, WWE’s commercial featured a handful of the biggest Superstars of all time, including “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Mankind, The Rock and The Undertaker, walking through the halls of WWE headquarters as bedlam ensued in the background. The spot lived up to its purpose —capturing the spirit, not only of The Attitude Era, but also of WWE overall. The chaotic scene of The Texas Rattlesnake whacking a shiftless executive with a chair and a blind referee roaming the halls captivated viewers around the world and created urban legends about what takes place inside the Stamford office building.


Of course, the employees crashing through conference room windows were created for dramatic effect, though we’d be remiss if we said we never saw a sleeper hold in the cafeteria. Nevertheless, even though the commercial aired more than a decade ago, WWE staff are still asked, “Do Superstars work there?” or “Are there wrestling matches in the office?”

To say the commercial left an impact is an understatement — and it wasn’t the only memorable WWE event to transpire as the Denver Broncos handily defeated the Atlanta Falcons. During halftime on USA Network, a special event dubbed “Halftime Heat” featured then–WWE Champion The Rock battling Mankind in an infamous Empty Arena Match. Mrs. Foley’s Baby Boy defeated The Great One with the aid of a forklift to capture his second WWE Championship.


When the game was over and the Denver Broncos held the Lombardi Trophy high, NFL Hall of Famer John Elway cemented his legacy, but the evening ultimately belonged to WWE.
