Also making a second appearance of his night in 2011 was Dolph Ziggler, who entered at number 31 in the 40-man match. He had a better showing in the 2012 Rumble, which he entered after losing a hard-fought match against CM Punk for the WWE Championship.

The Showoff came in at number 18 and lasted until the final stages of the match, before getting eliminated by the final entrant and another world title match loser on the night, the Big Show.

It was necessary for Ziggler to be involved in the Rumble because of the absolute lack of stars on the roster, which induced WWE to include all 3 commentators in the match as well. Even Michael Cole. Nevertheless, he did take part in one of the more memorable moments of the match, alongside Kharma. Ziggler took the former Awesome Kong's finisher before he eliminated her from the match.
