Jeff Jarrett won the Intercontinental Title after coming up short in the finals tournament for the Intercontinental Title against Randy Savage last December, but Double J finally won the Intercontinental Title at the Royal Rumble by defeating Randy Savage.
In his quest for revenge against Yokozuna, The Undertaker had a tough challenge in the form of former 1986 Royal Rumble Winner and 400 pounds of King Kong Bundy.
However The Deadman disposed of Bundy sending a message to Yokozuna.
Bret Hart got another shot at the WWF Title at the 1995 Royal Rumble when he took on the newly WWF Champion Razor Ramon.
Despite Bret trying his hardest and trying to win the title for a third time. The Bad Guy still walked out the Royal Rumble the World Wrestling Federation Champion not letting himself be a transitional champion. After the match, Razor and Bret shook hands.
The Royal Rumble kicked off with Shawn Michaels entering at #1 and Diesel entering at #2. Diesel & Shawn had an intense back and forth in 1994, and now they were #1 and #2 in the 1995 Royal Rumble meaning that they would not survive 28 others or would they?.
Michaels and Diesel stayed in for the longest amount of time and they did stay in there against the 28 superstars who had already made it in the Royal Rumble.
And once again The Undertaker would get his hands on Yokozuna in the Royal Rumble Match and got his sweet redemption by eliminating him until he was eliminated by Shawn Michaels. After, Yokozuna & Undertaker brawled all the way to the back just like they did at Survivor Series.
Also returning to the WWF for the first time in 3 years was the return of Sid Justice, but he wasn't known as Sid Justice, he simply became Sycho Sid.
After Bam Bam Bigelow got eliminated at the Royal Rumble, Lawrence Taylor "assumingly" laughed at him and that caused a confrontation between Bam Bam & LT with Bam Bam shoving him out of his chair.
And then it came down to 2 as Shawn Michaels & Diesel who entered #1 and #2 lasted all the 28 superstars in the ring and they were the first 2 to start it out and the last 2 to end it out.
But in the end Diesel would toss The Heartbreak Kid over the top rope by pressing him on his head to get the win.
Pamela Anderson, who was on hand to see who would she acconpany at WrestleMania 11 celebrated with the 1995 Royal Rumble Winner, Diesel as Diesel had punched his ticket to WrestleMania 11.

Alundra Blayze won back her Women's Championship for the third straight time defeating Bull Nakano
Lex Luger, former WWF Champion won the Third Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal.
Chuck Norris was on hand for the epic casket rematch between The Undertaker & Yokozuna at WrestleMania 11.
This match was 17 months in the making for both The Undertaker & Yokozuna as Yokozuna along with his friends buried The Undertaker in the casket at the 1993 Survivor Series. The Deadman was looking for redemption.
The two former WWF Champions slugged it out with intensity and just like their last one on one encounter, both of them were determined to fight their last breath until one of them would be shoved in the casket.
Both men even fought inside the casket at one point.
Chuck Norris was still looking around to see if anyone would interfere in the match. There were some people that interfered, 4 people that represented Yokozuna, Crush, King Kong Bundy, Bob Backlund & IRS. But before they could do damage to The Undertaker. The Headshrinkers, Adam Bomb & Tatanka made the save for the Phenom while the officials were distracted by the 4 on 4 brawl. Lex Luger came in and attacked The Undertaker and delivered a piledriver to him. That gave Yokozuna the time to try to put Undertaker away once and for all again, deja vu was going to repeat itself!
But Nope!. The Undertaker was not going to be denied despite the interference once again. The Deadman returned to the ring and mounted a comeback on the former WWF Champion.
Double J who had lost the Intercontinental Title to The 123 Kid earlier interfered and tried to help Yokozuna out, but Norris laid him out with a thrust kick causing Double J to make a hasty retreat!.
And that allowed The Undertaker to kick the former WWF Champion into the casket and as a souvenir for Yokozuna. The Undertaker took Mr. Fuji's japanese flag and kicked it but not before tossing him in the ring so Fuji could get a Tombstone Piledriver for his efforts. Cornette tried to run for his life but Undertaker grabbed him by the throat and also chokeslammed him as well. Taker tossed Cornette & Fuji's body with Yokozuna still in the casket and shoved them in there too.
And soon after that, the lid was closed on both Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji & Jim Cornette. The Deadman maintained his revenge.
The Victorious Phenom finally put Yokozuna down once and for all, The Deadman's Comeback Tour has completed and he is looking forward to make more souls rest in peace!.
For the first time since 1986. WWE & NFL squared off once again at WrestleMania 11, but it was Lawrence Taylor taking on Bam Bam Bigelow.
Bam Bam had the upper hand on many occasions, but Taylor fought back and was able to put down Bam Bam with a flying clothesline to win the match.
History was made for the big Triple Threat Match as Shawn Michaels was led to the ring by Sycho Sid & Jenny McCarthy.
While the 1995 Royal Rumble Winner Diesel was led to the ring by the 90s Baywatch Hottie, Pamela Anderson.
The Bad Guy would be in the fight for his life as he took on Diesel & Shawn Michaels in a Triple Threat Match for the WWF Championship.
It was a hard hitting entertaining classic between these three men
Neither man was willing to go down in this war.
Michaels, Diesel & Razor fought on for both 35 minutes.
It seemed like Diesel almost had the match won by hitting the jackknife on Shawn Michaels, but Sycho Sid came out to break the pinfall for Diesel, as Sid & Diesel brawled on the entryway. Razor attempted to hit the Razor's Edge but Michaels rolled out of the way and hit Sweet Chin Music to Razor. Michaels went for the cover but Razor kicked out.
After a Fall Away Slam off the top rope and a Razor's Edge. Razor got the 1. 2. 3. on The Heartbreak Kid and retained the World Wrestling Federation Championship.
