10 Wrestlers who spent the shortest time in the Royal Rumble match

#2 Sheamus - 2 Seconds (Royal Rumble 2018)

Sheamus was quickly eliminated by Heath Slater.

One of the biggest shocks that makes this list is none other than Sheamus. The Irishman has accomplished absolutely everything there is to accomplish in the WWE, including being a King of the Ring, a Money in the Bank winner and winning one of the primary championships on four different occasions.

In addition to this, he also won the Royal Rumble six years earlier, in 2012, when he had a very memorable final showdown against Chris Jericho.

However, Sheamus entered the match at #11 and tried to prey on Heath Slater, who was still making his way into the ring but was stopped by several wrestlers from entering, until Slater had the last laugh and delivered an unprecedented clothesline, eliminating him from the match.

What made this elimination more shocking was that Sheamus had won the Raw Tag Team Championships alongside Cesaro earlier in the night, so went from having a very jubilant night to a very embarrassing night.
