The Spirit closely resembles Father Christmas from local folklore . Contents ( hide ) 1 Description 2 Appearance in various film adaptations 3 See also 4 References 5 External links Description ( edit ) The Ghost of Christmas Present is the second of the three spirits ( after the visitations by Jacob Marley and the Ghost of Christmas Past ) that haunt the miser Ebenezer Scrooge , in order to prompt him to repent . When he first appears before Scrooge , he invites him to `` come in and know me better , man . '' According to Dickens ' novel , the Ghost of Christmas Present appears to Scrooge as `` a jolly giant '' with dark brown curls . He wears a fur - lined green robe and on his head a holly wreath set with shining icicles . He carries a large torch , made to resemble a cornucopia , and appears accompanied by a great feast . He states that he has had `` more than eighteen hundred '' brothers and later reveals the ability to change his size to fit into any space . He also bears a scabbard with no sword in it , a representation of peace on Earth and good will toward men . The spirit transports Scrooge around the city , showing him scenes of festivity and also deprivation that are happening as they watch , sprinkling a little warmth from his torch as he travels . Amongst the visits are Scrooge 's nephew , and the family of his impoverished clerk , Bob Cratchit . Scrooge takes an interest in Cratchit 's desperately - ill son , Tiny Tim , and asks the Ghost if Tim will live . The Ghost first states that `` If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future , the child will die , '' and then -- quick to use Scrooge 's past heartless comments to two charitable solicitors against him -- states , `` What then ? If he be like to die , he had better do it , and decrease the surplus population . '' The spirit then warns Scrooge to `` forebear that wicked tongue until you have discovered for yourself what the surplus is , and where it is . '' and chillingly tells him `` It may be , that in the sight of heaven , you are more worthless and less fit to live than MILLIONS like this poor man 's child . '' The spirit finally reveals to Scrooge two emaciated children , subhuman in appearance and loathsome to behold , clinging to his robes , and names the boy as Ignorance and the girl as Want . The spirit warns Scrooge , `` Beware them both , and all of their degree , but most of all beware this boy , for on his brow I see that written which is Doom unless the writing be erased . '' The spirit once again quotes Scrooge , who asks if the grotesque children have `` no refuge , no resource , '' and the spirit retorts with more of Scrooge 's own words : `` Are there no prisons ? Are there no workhouses ? '' The Ghost of Christmas Present , having already aged , reveals that he will only exist on Earth for a `` very brief '' time , implied to be that single Christmas holiday . He finally disappears at the stroke of midnight on Twelfth Night , and leaves Scrooge to face the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come , as it approaches `` like a mist along the ground .

Stormzy Information Promotion WWE Brand ( s ) Raw SmackDown Sponsor ( s ) KFC Rocket League Date January 28 , 2018 Attendance 17,629 Venue Wells Fargo Center City Philadelphia , Pennsylvania WWE Network event chronology NXT TakeOver : Philadelphia Royal Rumble ( 2018 ) Elimination Chamber ( 2018 ) Royal Rumble chronology Royal Rumble ( 2017 ) Royal Rumble ( 2018 ) Royal Rumble ( 2019 ) Royal Rumble ( 2018 ) was a professional wrestling pay - per - view ( PPV ) event and WWE Network event produced by WWE featuring wrestlers primarily from the Raw and SmackDown brands , as well as surprise appearances from competitors on the NXT brand . It took place on January 28 , 2018 , at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . It was the thirty - first event under the Royal Rumble chronology , the first to include a women 's Royal Rumble match , and consequently , two Royal Rumble matches . Nine matches were contested at the event , including three on the pre-show . In the main event , Asuka won the first - ever women 's Royal Rumble match , which was also the second women 's match to main event a WWE pay - per - view , and the first to main event one of WWE 's `` Big Four '' pay - per - views . The men 's Royal Rumble match was won by Shinsuke Nakamura . Other prominent matches included Brock Lesnar retaining the Universal Championship in a triple threat match against Braun Strowman and Kane , and AJ Styles retained the WWE Championship against Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn in a handicap match . The event was also notable for the surprise appearance of former UFC star Ronda Rousey following the women 's match , officially confirming that she had signed full - time with WWE .

The event also hosted the first - ever 30 - woman Royal Rumble , in which the winner earned a women 's championship match at WrestleMania 34 for her choice of either Raw 's Women 's Championship or SmackDown 's Women 's Championship . Asuka was the winner of the inaugural Women 's Royal Rumble match , and chose to challenge Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women 's Championship at WrestleMania 34 After Survivor Series , several women from NXT were promoted to the main rosters of both Raw and SmackDown . On the November 20 , 2017 episode of Raw , Paige , who had been out with an injury since June 2016 , returned along with the debuts of NXT 's Mandy Rose and Sonya Deville , forming the heel group Absolution , while similarly on the November 21 episode of SmackDown , NXT 's Ruby Riott , Liv Morgan , and Sarah Logan debuted and formed the heel group The Riott Squad . On the December 18 , 2017 episode of Raw , with a larger roster of women on the main rosters , Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon scheduled the first - ever women 's Royal Rumble match for the 2018 Royal Rumble , with the winner receiving a match at WrestleMania 34 for the top championship of their choice : Raw 's Women 's Championship or SmackDown 's Women 's Championship . Both brands ' respective commissioners and general managers agreed that the women 's match would have all of the same rules as the men 's match , including having 30 participants . Stephanie was announced to join the commentary team for the women 's match , and television host Maria Menounos was announced to be the special guest ring announcer . Storylines ( edit ) The card consisted of nine matches , including three on the pre-show , that resulted from scripted storylines and had results predetermined by WWE on both the Raw and SmackDown brands . Storylines were produced on WWE 's weekly television shows , Monday Night Raw , SmackDown Live , and 205 Live , the latter of which is cruiserweight - exclusive . For the first time , the card was highlighted by two Royal Rumble matches . On the October 16 , 2017 episode of Raw , Kane returned from a ten - month hiatus and helped Braun Strowman to defeat Roman Reigns in a steel cage match . Kane was then added to Strowman 's team at TLC : Tables , Ladders & Chairs in the 5 - on - 3 handicap Tables , Ladders , and Chairs match . During the match , Kane accidentally hit Strowman with a chair , which caused tension between the two . Later on in the match , Kane turned on Strowman and crushed him in the back of a garbage truck ; their team ultimately lost . The two then feuded over the next several weeks , leading to a match on the December 11 episode to determine the number one contender against Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at the Royal Rumble , but the match ended in a double countout . Raw General Manager Kurt Angle then decided that Lesnar would defend the title against both Kane and Strowman in a triple threat match at the event . On the January 8 episode , Kane attacked Lesnar from behind , followed by an attack from Strowman . After laying Kane and Lesnar out backstage , Strowman knocked over a lighting rig and crushed both . Lesnar was taken to a medical facility while Kane refused medical attention . Due to his actions , Strowman was removed from the triple threat match and fired by Angle . Strowman went on a rampage backstage , including destroying Angle 's office and flipping over a tractor . Before he could do anymore damage , Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon rehired Strowman , putting him back into the Universal Championship match at the Royal Rumble . Shinsuke Nakamura won the 2018 Men 's Royal Rumble and chose to challenge AJ Styles for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 34 At Clash of Champions , SmackDown 's Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan both refereed a tag team match pitting Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn against Randy Orton and Shinsuke Nakamura , where Owens and Zayn would have been fired from WWE had they lost . During the match , there was controversy between Shane and Bryan , which resulted in Bryan giving a fast count for Owens and Zayn to win . Tensions between Shane and Bryan continued over the next couple of weeks , culminating on the final SmackDown of 2017 , when Bryan scheduled Owens to face WWE Champion AJ Styles in a non-title match in the main event , much to the disapproval of Shane , who felt that Owens should not be in the main event , or facing the WWE Champion . That match ended when Zayn interfered , allowing Owens to win . The next week , Zayn would also defeat Styles in a non-title match after interference from Owens . Enraged at back - to - back losses , Styles stated they might as well schedule him in a handicap match against Owens and Zayn , which Bryan took literally and scheduled for the Royal Rumble where Styles would also defend the WWE Championship against both men . On the January 9 episode of SmackDown , Styles said that although it was unfair , he was confident that he would win ; Owens and Zayn interrupted and claimed that they would become the first - ever co-WWE Champions . On the final SmackDown before the Royal Rumble , Styles faced Owens and Zayn in back - to - back matches where Shane threatened that if one were to interfere in the other 's match , that person would be fired . Styles managed to defeat Owens in the first match by submission , however , he would lose to Zayn in the second match . On the December 18 , 2017 episode of Raw , Seth Rollins ' tag team partner Dean Ambrose was injured by Samoa Joe . The following week , despite both wanting to take on Joe to avenge Ambrose , Raw General Manager Kurt Angle instead had his ( storyline ) son , Jason Jordan , and Rollins team up to face Cesaro and Sheamus for the Raw Tag Team Championship ; Jordan and Rollins defeated Cesaro and Sheamus to win the championship . After the former champions confronted Angle about their contractual rematch , Angle scheduled it for the Royal Rumble . On the January 15 episode , Jordan caused a distraction , allowing Titus Worldwide ( Apollo Crews and Titus O'Neil ) to again defeat Cesaro and Sheamus in a rematch from the previous week , which Rollins disapproved of as he did not like Jordan acting on his own . Cesaro and Sheamus would try and return the favor during Rollins ' match against Finn Bálor , but it backfired , resulting in Rollins winning , and Cesaro and Sheamus brawling with Bálor Club members , Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson , at ringside . On Raw 25 the next week , Jordan and Rollins were the guests on Christian 's The Peep Show , which Cesaro and Sheamus interrupted and the two teams brawled where Rollins accidentally hit Jordan with a knee attack that was intended for Cesaro . At Clash of Champions , The Usos ( Jey and Jimmy Uso ) retained the SmackDown Tag Team Championship in a fatal - four - way match against Rusev and Aiden English , The New Day 's Big E and Xavier Woods , and Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin . On the following episode of SmackDown , Gable and Benjamin defeated The Usos in a non-title match , and they were awarded with a championship match on the first SmackDown of 2018 , where they defeated The Usos to initially win the titles after pinning Jimmy Uso ; however , Jimmy was not the legal man , and thus the match was restarted and The Usos retained their championship . The following week , Gable and Benjamin confronted SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan over the incident . After questioning if they should have to defeat The Usos twice in the same night , Bryan decided that at the Royal Rumble , The Usos would defend the SmackDown Tag Team Championship against Gable and Benjamin in a two - out - of - three - falls match . On January 26 , three matches were announced for the Royal Rumble pre-show . For SmackDown , it was announced that United States Champion Bobby Roode would have an open challenge for the title . Two tag team matches were scheduled for Raw : a rematch between Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson and The Revival ( Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson ) from Raw 25 , and a six - man tag team match for the cruiserweight division with Kalisto , Gran Metalik , and Lince Dorado against Drew Gulak , TJP , and Gentleman Jack Gallagher . Cancellations ( edit ) Two other matches had been promoted for the event , but were later removed . The first was the tournament final for SmackDown 's then - vacant United States Championship . Originally scheduled for the PPV , the finals were instead contested on the January 16 episode of SmackDown , where Bobby Roode defeated Jinder Mahal to win the title . The second was a championship match for the Raw brand where WWE Cruiserweight Champion Enzo Amore was scheduled to defend the title against Cedric Alexander . However , after Amore was suspended from WWE on January 22 due to allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault , the match was cancelled . Amore was released the next day and the title was vacated .

Owens - who was not the legal man - attempted a Pop Up Powerbomb on Styles , who countered into a roll up to retain the title .

Nakamura attacked Reigns and attempted a Kinshasa , however , Reigns countered into a Spear . As Reigns attempted to eliminate Nakamura , Nakamura countered , performed a Kinshasa on Reigns and then eliminated Reigns to win the match . Afterward , Renee Young interviewed Nakamura and asked which world championship he wanted to challenge for at WrestleMania 34 . He called out WWE Champion AJ Styles , thus choosing the WWE Championship and staying on SmackDown .

Main event ( edit ) Ronda Rousey appeared for a few WWE events over the years ( pictured here at WrestleMania 31 with The Rock ) . She was rumored to be a surprise entrant in the women 's match , and although she denied that she would be at the event , she appeared after the match 's conclusion , confirming she had signed full - time with WWE The main event was the first - ever 30 - woman Royal Rumble match for a women 's championship match at WrestleMania 34 . Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch were the first and second entrants , respectively . There were numerous surprise entrants throughout the match - including Hall of Famers Lita , Jacqueline , Beth Phoenix , and Trish Stratus ; NXT wrestlers Kairi Sane and NXT Women 's Champion Ember Moon ; and past stars Torrie Wilson , Molly Holly , Michelle McCool ( who scored the most eliminations at 5 ) , Vickie Guerrero , and Kelly Kelly . SmackDown 's Nikki Bella , who had been on hiatus since WrestleMania 33 , and her free agent twin sister Brie Bella were also unannounced entrants .

Rousey pointed to the WrestleMania sign and offered a handshake to Asuka , who refused . Rousey then shook hands with Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon as the event ended . The jacket which Rousey wore during this appearance belonged to life long idol Roddy Piper , whose son let her borrow it . Aftermath ( edit ) Raw ( edit ) On Raw the following night , Raw Commissioner Stephanie McMahon convinced Asuka to wait until after Elimination Chamber to make her decision , as Raw Women 's Champion Alexa Bliss was scheduled to defend her title in the first - ever women 's Elimination Chamber match , and the result may affect Asuka 's decision . Asuka was then confronted by Sasha Banks , who spent the longest time in the Royal Rumble match , and Banks challenged Asuka to a match that Asuka won . Banks , along with Bayley , Mandy Rose , Mickie James , and Sonya Deville were announced as the other competitors in the Elimination Chamber match . Nia Jax was also scheduled to face Asuka at Elimination Chamber where if she were to win , she would be added to the Asuka 's championship match at WrestleMania . On the February 12 episode of Raw , it was announced that Ronda Rousey would sign her Raw contract at Elimination Chamber . At SmackDown 's Fastlane pay - per - view , Asuka appeared and decided to challenge Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women 's Championship at WrestleMania . Since Shinsuke Nakamura decided to stay on SmackDown to challenge for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 34 , Raw General Manager Kurt Angle scheduled a number one contender 's Elimination Chamber match at the namesake event to determine who would face Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship at WrestleMania . Six qualification matches were scheduled over the next couple of weeks . Braun Strowman and Kane battled in a last man standing match , which Strowman won to qualify . After the match , Kane was taken to a local hospital . Elias , John Cena , Roman Reigns , Intercontinental Champion The Miz , Finn Bálor , and Seth Rollins also qualified , marking the first seven - man Elimination Chamber match . New Raw Tag Team Champions Cesaro and Sheamus defended their titles against Titus Worldwide ( Apollo Crews and Titus O'Neil ) , as they had beaten Cesaro and Sheamus two weeks in a row prior to the Royal Rumble ; Cesaro and Sheamus retained . The following week , Jason Jordan and Seth Rollins were scheduled to have their contractual rematch , but after Jordan was deemed unable to compete , he was replaced by Roman Reigns . Jordan , however , accidentally caused them to be disqualified . On 205 Live , Drake Maverick ( formerly known as Rockstar Spud in Impact Wrestling ) was appointed as the 205 Live General Manager . Maverick announced that there would be a 16 - man single elimination tournament to crown a new WWE Cruiserweight Champion , with the finals to occur at WrestleMania 34 . SmackDown ( edit ) On the following episode of SmackDown , Shinsuke Nakamura celebrated his win at the Royal Rumble , and said he would become the new WWE Champion at WrestleMania 34 . He was interrupted by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn , who said that they should be the co-WWE Champions , but the referee failed at his job at the Royal Rumble . WWE Champion AJ Styles came out and said that Owens and Zayn could complain all they want , but there would be a dream match at WrestleMania between him and Nakamura . Styles then suggested to have a dream team that night with him and Nakamura facing Owens and Zayn , which SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan made official for later that night in which Styles and Nakamura won . During the match , there were tensions between Owens and Zayn as Bryan had also scheduled them to face each other the following week to determine the number one contender for the WWE Championship at Fastlane . The championship match at Fastlane then became a fatal five - way also involving Baron Corbin and Dolph Ziggler and finally a six - pack challenge when free agent John Cena qualified by defeating Styles in a non-title match . In the mid-card , a fatal four - way match between Kofi Kingston of The New Day , Jinder Mahal , Zack Ryder , and Rusev occurred to determine the number one contender against Bobby Roode for the United States Championship , which was won by Rusev , who was unsuccessful in winning the title . Also following the Royal Rumble , SmackDown General Manager Daniel Bryan revealed the first - ever `` SmackDown Top Ten List '' as voted on by the SmackDown roster to see who the wrestlers thought should get a title opportunity . This played into a storyline between Roode , who ranked 5th , Randy Orton , who ranked 9th , and Jinder Mahal , who did not rank , resulting in SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon scheduling Roode to defend the U.S. Championship against Orton at Fastlane . In the women 's division , SmackDown Women 's Champion Charlotte Flair praised the first - ever women 's Royal Rumble match , but wished that she could have competed in it . She addressed Ronda Rousey 's debut and questioned who her WrestleMania 34 opponent would be . The Riott Squad interrupted and Ruby Riott said Flair would not make it to WrestleMania and they attacked Flair . Carmella came out to try and cash - in her Money in the Bank briefcase on Flair , but was not able to as she accidentally knocked out the referee before the bell could ring . After feuding with The Riott Squad over the next few weeks , Flair was scheduled to defend her title against Riott at Fastlane . Results ( edit ) No .

Question: who won the 2018 women's royal rumble match


The Endless Summer - wikipedia The Endless Summer Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the 1966 documentary film . For other uses , see Endless Summer ( disambiguation ) . The Endless Summer Theatrical release poster Directed by Bruce Brown Produced by Bruce Brown Written by Bruce Brown Starring Mike Hynson Robert August Miki Dora Narrated by Bruce Brown Music by The Sandals Cinematography Bruce Brown Edited by Bruce Brown Distributed by Cinema V Monterey Media Release date June 15 , 1966 ( 1966 - 06 - 15 ) Running time 95 minutes Country United States Language English Budget $50,000 Box office $20 million The Endless Summer is a seminal 1966 surf movie ( the initial release was in 1964 , world - wide release was 1966 ) . Filmmaker / narrator Bruce Brown follows two surfers , Mike Hynson and Robert August , on a surfing trip around the world . Despite the balmy climate of their native California , cold ocean currents make local beaches inhospitable during the winter . They travel to the coasts of Australia , New Zealand , Tahiti , Hawaii , Senegal , Ghana , Nigeria and South Africa in a quest for new surf spots and introduce locals to the sport . Other important surfers of the time , such as Miki Dora , Phil Edwards and Butch Van Artsdalen also appear . Its title comes from the idea , expressed at both the beginning and end of the film , that if one had enough time and money it would be possible to follow the summer up and down the world ( northern to southern hemisphere and back ) , making it endless . The concept of the film was born through the suggestion of a travel agent to Bruce Brown during the planning stages of the film . The travel agent suggested that the flight from Los Angeles to Cape Town , South Africa and back would cost $50 more than a trip circumnavigating the world . After which , Bruce came up with the idea of following the summer season by traveling up and down the world . The narrative presentation eases from the stiff and formal documentary of the 1950s and early 1960s to a more casual and fun - loving personal style filled with sly humor . The surf rock soundtrack to the film was provided by The Sandals . The `` Theme to the Endless Summer '' was written by Gaston Georis and John Blakeley of the Sandals . It has become one of the best known film themes in the surf movie genre . When the movie was first shown , it encouraged many surfers to go abroad , giving birth to the `` surf - and - travel '' culture , with prizes for finding `` uncrowded surf '' , meeting new people and riding the perfect wave . It also introduced the sport , which had become popular outside of Hawaii and the Polynesian Islands in places like California and Australia , to a broader audience . In addition , it set the style for later surf - and - travel movies , including Momentum , ( These Are ) Better Days , and Thicker Than Water . Contents ( hide ) 1 Development 2 Reaction 2.1 Legacy 3 Sequels 4 References 5 External links Development ( edit ) Bruce Brown started surfing in the early 1950s . He took still photographs to show his mother what the draw of the sport was . While serving in the United States Navy on Oahu years later , he used an 8 mm movie camera to photograph surfers from California . Once Brown got back to the states , he edited his footage into an hour - long film . Surfer Dale Velzy showed it at his San Clemente shop , charging 25 cents for admission . Velzy bought Brown a 16 mm camera and together they raised $5,000 to make Slippery When Wet , Brown 's first `` real '' surf film . In the winter of 1958 , Brown went back to Hawaii to film the North Shore 's big surf . On the plane ride over , the novice filmmaker read a book about how to make movies . Brown said , `` I never had formal training in filmmaking and that probably worked to my advantage '' . By 1962 , he had spent five years making one surf film per year . He would shoot during the fall and winter months , edit during the spring and show the finished product during the summer . Brown remembered , `` I felt if I could take two years to make a film , maybe I could make something special '' . To do this , he would need a bigger budget than he had on previous films . To raise the $50,000 budget for The Endless Summer , Brown took the best footage from his four previous films and made Waterlogged . Brown took his completed film to several Hollywood studio distributors but was rejected because they did not think it would have mainstream appeal . In January , he took The Endless Summer to Wichita , Kansas for two weeks where moviegoers lined up in snowy weather in the middle of winter and it went on to selling out multiple screenings . Distributors were still not convinced and Brown rented a theater in New York City where his film ran successfully for a year . After the success of the run at New York 's Kips Bay Theater , Don Rugoff of Cinema 5 distribution said he did not want the film or poster changed and wanted them distributed as is , thus Brown selected him over other distributors who wished to alter the poster . Reaction ( edit ) When The Endless Summer debuted , it grossed $5 million domestically and over $20 million worldwide . Roger Ebert said of Brown 's work , `` the beautiful photography he brought home almost makes you wonder if Hollywood has n't been trying too hard '' . Time magazine wrote , `` Brown leaves analysis of the surf - cult mystique to seagoing sociologists , but demonstrates quite spiritedly that some of the brave souls mistaken for beachniks are , in fact , converts to a difficult , dangerous and dazzling sport '' . In his review for The New York Times , Robert Alden wrote , `` the subject matter itself -- the challenge and the joy of a sport that is part swimming , part skiing , part sky - diving and part Russian roulette -- is buoyant fun '' . Legacy ( edit ) The then - unknown break off Cape St. Francis in South Africa became one of the world 's most famous surfing sites thanks to The Endless Summer . In 2002 , The Endless Summer was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' . Sequels ( edit ) In 1994 , Brown released a sequel , The Endless Summer II , in which surfers Pat O'Connell and Robert `` Wingnut '' Weaver retrace the steps of Hynson and August . It shows the growth and evolution of the surfing scene since the first film , which presented only classic longboard surfing . O'Connell rides a shortboard , which was developed in the time between the two movies , and there are scenes of windsurfing and bodyboarding . The film illustrates how far surfing had spread , with footage of surf sessions in France , South Africa , Costa Rica , Bali , Java , and even Alaska . The sequel follows a similar structure to the original , with another round the world surfing adventure reflecting on cultural differences since the first film was shot . In 2000 , Dana Brown , Bruce 's son , released The Endless Summer Revisited , which consisted of unused footage from the first two films , as well as original cast interviews .
