5 Greatest Royal Rumble victories of all time

#4 Shawn Michaels - 1995 Royal Rumble winner

Shawn Michaels is one of the superstars synonymous with the Royal Rumble Match. His legacy with the stipulation all started in 1995.

The Heartbreak Kid was on the rise and seemed like a favorite to win the match and face his former best friend Diesel for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 11. However, Michaels coming in at No.1 caused doubt for his fans.

Shawn Michaels and No.2 entrant The British Bulldog were in for the entire duration of the bout. They fought at various times and made it clear that one would have to take out the other to win.

In a memorable finish, Bulldog threw Michaels over the top rope, but Shawn only had one foot touch the floor. HBK came back into the ring and eliminated Bulldog to become the first man to come from the No.1 spot to win the Rumble.

#3 Bianca Belair - 2021 Royal Rumble winner

Although Asuka could also make this list for being the first woman to win the Royal Rumble Match, the other winners used their victories to get Championship gold at WrestleMania.

Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair were both established top stars when they won the titular matchup. In 2021, WWE finally made a new main event player with a win in the Women's Rumble.

Bianca Belair came in at No.3 with plenty of momentum. She battled a who's who of WWE Superstars and legends like Victoria and Torrie Wilson. It came down to Belair and Rhea Ripley in a battle of young, promising competitors.

After a grueling struggle, Belair eliminated The Nightmare to win the Women's Rumble and went on to Mania to win the SmackDown Women's Championship.
