5. It is not restricted to males
In the history of Royal Rumble, 3 different women have entered the Rumble, a Battle Royal which is usually matched between men. The interesting fact about the Divas’ appearances is that none of them have failed to eliminate a Superstar, unlike many other males who have never made any elimination; David Otunga and Damien Sandow for instance. These Divas include Chyna (’99 and ’00), Beth Phoenix (’10) and Kharma (’12) who eliminated Chris Jericho & Mark Henry, The Great Khali and Hunico respectively.
4. Entry #30 isn’t guaranteed a win either
It might be the best number to enter at, but unfortunately entering the Rumble last doesn’t guarantee a win. This number has produced only two winners: Undertaker (’07) and John Cena (’08). It has produced 6 runners-up as well: Ted DiBiase (’89), Mr. Perfect (’90), Randy Savage (’93), Undertaker (’03), Randy Orton (’06), and Ryback (’13).
3. One can be twice lucky
Winning the Rumble even once is an achievement in itself, but some wrestlers have been lucky enough to win it more than that. These are: Hulk Hogan (’90 and ’91), Shawn Michaels (’95 and ’96), Stone Cold (’97, ’98 and ’01)) and John Cena (’08 and ’13). Out of the current active Superstars, only Rey Mysterio, John Cena, Randy Orton, Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus stand a chance to record another Rumble win.
2. Entering at #27 has been really lucky
In Royal Rumble’s history, entry #27 has produced most number of winners. They are: Big John Studd (’89), Yokozuna (’93), Bret Hart (’94), and Stone Cold (’01). Unfortunately, the number has seen a decline of luck in recent years, with 6 of last 7 #27 entrants failing to eliminate even one other Superstar. The number has definitely lost its shine.
1. If Royal Rumble can’t entertain you, nothing else will!
Seeing 30 men trying to throw each other out of the ring makes this match the most entertaining in the WWE. The stakes are so high that they will do anything to survive, whether it is forming alliances with enemies or turning on their own friends. The bottom line is you can’t and you shouldn’t miss this match.
