While some current members of the Minnesota Vikings roster were playing in the Pro Bowl, many other football fans made the decision to tune in to the 2017 WWE Royal Rumble on Sunday, January 29, 2017.
Included in the popular annual sports entertainment show were two gentlemen who at one time participated during the preseason with the Vikings: Leati Joseph “Joe” Anoau02bbi and Brock Edward Lesnar.
These two men combined for three opportunities to either win a championship or overcome 29 other professional wrestlers in the Royal Rumble match. It was Anoa’i who had two chances to get a win during the show.
