The nerves were evident as WWE's Superstars prepared to compete at the Royal Rumble on Sunday night.

Perhaps not to the fans inside the Alamodome or the millions watching on TV - but certainly backstage in the corridors and Gorilla Position.

WWE's camera crew captured a host of tense wrestlers arriving at the arena in San Antonio and warming up for their matches, including Charlotte Flair, Goldberg, Brock Lesnar and Rumble winner Randy Orton.

John Cena - who went on to beat AJ Styles and match Ric Flair's record of 16 world championships - also looked anxious.
