5 of the most underrated Royal Rumble performances

#4 Cody Rhodes (2012)

Probably the finest performance for 'The Dashing One'The 2012 Royal Rumble match is not one that is fondly remembered by the fans. The main reason being that it had all the three commentators as participants (even Michael Cole) and had the wrong guy winning the Rumble (Jericho should have won). The only saving grace was the return of Kharma and the performances of The Miz and Cody Rhodes. Rhodes, especially, gave the performance of his lifetime. He lasted over forty-one minutes in the match and eliminated six superstars, which included Mick Foley and The Great Khali. Unfortunately, this underrated performance by Rhodes is often forgotten by the fans, who easily recall his performance, along with Ted DiBiase, in 2009, which helped Randy Orton win the match. However, in 2012, Rhodes was his own man and was the glue that, along with The Miz, held the match together.
