The 2012 Royal Rumble is not fondly remembered. In fact, it is barely remembered at all. It was a match full of comedy and not one to be taken seriously.

It also included a dearth of main event level talent and potential winners. The favourite to win the bout was the recently returned Chris Jericho. He made the final two, with Sheamus, who had turned face the previous year after an unsuccessful stint as a heel WWE Champion between 2009-2010.

The 2012 match-up featured lots of legends entering the match, the entire commentary team and contained lots of comic spots such as Mick Foley's Mr. Socko and Santino Marella's Cobra locking up in combat.

Sheamus last eliminated Jericho to win the match and won the World title from Daniel Bryan in a bout at Wrestlemania XVIII memorable only for the overwhelming negative crowd reaction to Bryan's sub 18 second loss to Sheamus.
