15 Biggest Superstars To Have Never Won The Royal Rumble

#2 Chris Jericho

Has done it all... Almost

Chris Jericho has done it all, well almost. The latest signing of the new All Elite Wrestling promotion has held every available title he is capable of competing for in WWE.

He is a multi-time World Champion and the record holder for the WWE Intercontinental Championship, with nine reigns.

Amazingly, one big thing that Chris Jericho never accomplished was winning the Royal Rumble match.

Although, it actually was the plan for him to do so at one point. Jericho was actually the planned winner of the 2012 Royal Rumble match.

Having returned to WWE just weeks earlier, promoting the end of the world in a bunch of crazy segments, the first thing WWE had in mind for Jericho was a WWE Championship match with Champion CM Punk at WrestleMania 28.

The best way for Jericho to get his match with Punk was to win the Rumble match of course, and the plan was set.

Unfortunately, it wouldn't last. Plans for Jericho to win the match were leaked online, and thus WWE decided to change them and have Sheamus win instead. The win for the Celtic Warrior came as a big surprise, especially since it had come down to him and Jericho.

In an annoying kind of irony, the 2012 Royal Rumble match was the beginning of a six-year run of the Royal Rumble winner being leaked online just days, weeks and even months before the show.

However, the one time where fans were actually happy in finding out who the winner was, WWE changed their minds.
