Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston have had very similar fortunes in the Royal Rumble over the past decade, since both men have failed to win the match after 12 tries.
Kingston has become famous for his antics inside the Royal Rumble in recent years and has always been added to the match, whilst Dolph Ziggler has always been WWE's dependable star.
This year the two men will likely step inside the Rumble match for the 13th time, which means that they will equal Kane's record for being in 13 consecutive Royal Rumble matches.

Kane isn't yet retired and could appear as part of the match himself in the coming years but, because he has already skipped several years, it means that the two men are now in contention to break his record if included next year as well.
Neither Kingston nor Ziggler looks as though they are nearing the end of their careers and both seem to be likely additions to the upcoming Royal Rumble matches.
