#4 The Undertaker – 35
The Deadman has featured in the event for nearly twenty-five years claiming victory on just the one occasion – no he didn’t feature every time during that period. Famously eliminated by Maven in 2002, Taker has eliminated 35 competitors before and after the incident that many people consider the most shocking elimination in Royal Rumble history.
’Taker won the event in 2007 where he went on to headline Wrestlemania and become the WWE champion, but the contest in 2007 is the only event the Deadman has won throughout his illustrious history.
No single event stands out for ‘Taker except 2007, but his exploits in the match’s history cannot be understated. ’Taker should have won the event in 1997 also, figuring he was to headline Wrestlemania XIII.
It’s almost a case of what could have been for ‘Taker, but he allowed Brock Lesnar to be pushed during the 2003 Rumble match.
