#3. Roman Reigns crushed Miro fka Rusev's Royal Rumble dreams in 2015

Miro, formerly known as Rusev in WWE, was at the peak of his popularity around 2015. The promotion even booked him among the final two at the Royal Rumble.

This edition of the Royal Rumble is now infamous for the ending, as the eventual winner, Roman Reigns, was booed out of the building despite The Rock appearing in the ring with him.

Rusev spent a significant portion of the match on the outside when the Big Show and Kane looked to ambush the Head of the Table at the Authority's behest.

The Great One made the save as the Bulgarian Brute re-entered the Rumble only to be speared and eliminated by Reigns.
