5 little-known facts about The Royal Rumble

#3 Batista's 2014 Rumble Win

Batista won the Royal Rumble back in 2014

Batista won the 2014 Royal Rumble after he returned to WWE the week before, which was then seen as one of the most predictable outcomes in the event's history. Batista last eliminated Roman Reigns to win the match and then go on to main event WrestleMania where he failed to lift the Championship when he tapped to Daniel Bryan.

Batista returned because he was promised a Championship win and later in the year when it was revealed that this was never going to happen he walked away once again. Thanks to The Animal's departure later the same year, he is the only WWE star in history to have left WWE before the following year's Royal Rumble match.
