Video: Jeff Jarrett Enters 2019 WWE Royal Rumble Match; Eliminated by Elias

Jeff Jarrett walked with Elias—right over the top rope.

Jarrett was a surprise entrant in the 2019 Royal Rumble match, entering at No. 2.

Jarrett and Elias, who drew the No. 1 spot, had a fun interaction as they bonded over their shared appreciation for music.

However, it's every man for himself in the Royal Rumble. The fun only lasted for so long before Elias hit Jarrett in the back with his guitar and threw him to the outside.

WWE Stats & Info noted Jarrett hadn't competed in a Rumble match since 1999.

WWE inducted Jarrett into its Hall of Fame last April, two nights before WrestleMania 34. He left for WCW in 1999 and was famously fired by Vince McMahon on the air after McMahon purchased WCW in 2001.

At 51, Jarrett clearly doesn't figure much into WWE's plans as an in-ring competitor. Sunday night was a great opportunity to turn back the clock for a bit.
