Every Royal Rumble match winner: Where are they now?

#5 Yokozuna (1993)

Yokozuna possessed supreme physical strength

Yokozuna was a huge character, and he carried the legacy of the giant’s character after André the Giant’s exit. The Samoan superstar nearly conquered every wrestler in his career. He also won the Royal Rumble in 1993 after eliminating Randy Savage last.

Later in 2000, during a wrestling tour, he died due to a disease called “Pulmonary Edema” (A lung disease). Posthumously, he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2012.
