The 25-Man Slim Jim Battle Royal at SummerSlam 2023 was a chaotic and thrilling spectacle that brought together some of WWE’s top Superstars. Sponsored by Slim Jim, the match featured a mix of powerhouse competitors, high-flying risk-takers, and crafty veterans, each vying for the ultimate bragging rights and a Slim Jim-themed trophy.
The match kicked off with a packed ring as all 25 participants entered simultaneously. Chaos erupted from the opening bell, with alliances forming and dissolving just as quickly. Omos, the towering giant, immediately established himself as the dominant force, eliminating multiple competitors within the first few minutes, including underdogs like Akira Tozawa and Chad Gable.
Meanwhile, crowd favorites like LA Knight and Sheamus rallied the fans with their resilience and hard-hitting offense. Knight, in particular, showcased his charisma and determination, delivering a series of devastating moves, including his signature BFT to Rick Boogs before tossing him over the top rope.
The high-flyers, including Ricochet and Montez Ford, utilized their agility to evade elimination, thrilling the crowd with jaw-dropping aerial maneuvers. However, their daring tactics also left them vulnerable, as both were eliminated mid-flight by clever counterattacks from veterans like The Miz and AJ Styles.
As the field narrowed, tensions rose between the remaining competitors. The final five included LA Knight, Sheamus, Omos, AJ Styles, and Bronson Reed. Omos appeared unstoppable, but a coordinated effort from the other four saw the giant toppled over the ropes after a thunderous Brogue Kick from Sheamus.
The match came down to Knight, Sheamus, and Styles. After a brief alliance to eliminate Reed, Knight capitalized on an opening, throwing Styles over the top rope during an attempted Phenomenal Forearm. The crowd erupted as Knight faced Sheamus one-on-one. In a dramatic finale, Knight dodged a Brogue Kick and countered with a clothesline, sending Sheamus tumbling to the floor.
The Aftermath
LA Knight stood tall, earning a career-defining victory in front of a roaring crowd. The Slim Jim Battle Royal not only cemented Knight’s momentum but also delivered an action-packed highlight on the SummerSlam 2023 card. YEAH!
