Randy Orton was one of Brock Lesnar's victims tonight
Brock Lesnar eliminated five men to win the Rumble, and Randy Orton was one of them. The other four were Shane McMahon, Bad Bunny, Riddle, and Drew McIntyre.
Orton was determined to win this year and become one of only two men to ever win three Rumble matches. It should be noted that WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin has won three Rumbles in his career (1997, 1998, and 2001).
This was the second Rumble victory of Lesnar's career. His first victory came during his rookie year in WWE (2002-03). Lesnar eliminated The Undertaker to win the 2003 Rumble Match. Lesnar headlined that year's WrestleMania against Kurt Angle and defeated him to win his second WWE title.

As for Randy, he received huge applause from the St. Louis crowd. At one point during the Rumble match, Riddle and Orton were dominating. It seemed like one of the two could end up winning, but things took a turn when Lesnar entered at #30.
Randy Orton is one of the greatest stars to ever compete in the Rumble match. He has won on two occasions (2009 and 2017). It remains to be seen what WWE has in store for him on the road to WrestleMania 38.
On the other hand, Lesnar punched his ticket to the main event of WrestleMania 38. Judging by Roman Reigns' actions tonight, it's safe to assume that Lesnar will collide with The Tribal Chief at WrestleMania 38.
