#4 Kofi Kingston

The Power of Pancakes
The Power of Pancakes

It wouldn't be a Royal Rumble match without another ingenious and usually hilarious way for Kofi Kingston to avoid elimination. Attempts in the past have included an announcers chair as a pogo stick and walking on his hands.

This year, Kofi was seemingly eliminated by Jinder Mahal after his New Day brethren also fell to the 'Modern Day Maharaja'. However, by planting one foot on the ground and one on the chest of a prone Xavier Woods, Kofi was able to avoid instant elimination.

By using a plate full of pancakes, Kofi got his balance, and then somehow, with the use of Big E and Xavier, launch himself from the ground and over Jinder's head! Jinder, being completely caught off guard was then thrown over the top by Kofi.

This joy only lasted mere seconds before the NXT champion Andrade 'Cien' Almas unceremoniously dumped Kofi over the top and sent him to the back.
