#3. R-Truth thinks the Royal Rumble is a Ladder match

One of R-Truth's consistent gags that never fails to get a laugh is his constant confusion around everything he does. It generally dates back to an episode of RAW that took place in 2011 in Milwaukee, WI - and Truth mistakenly asked Green Bay "what's up?!"

This has lead to some classic moments for the former United States Champion, such as his vow to defeat former New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady for the 24/7 Championship - despite the fact that the title was then held by Brady's teammate, Rob Gronkowski. There's also another moment that's a classic... but that's coming up.

But, this Royal Rumble bit was on a level of its own. At the 2016 edition of the event, R-Truth burst through the curtain, charged to the ring, and... pulled a ladder out from under the ring. He the proceeded to set up said ladder in the middle of said ring, climb it to the top... then looked confused when there was no Money In The Bank briefcase hanging there.

During the episode of WWE 24 on the WWE Network about him, R-Truth discussed how he pitched the idea to Vince McMahon:

"I remember going in Vince's office and peeking my head in... I wasn't even on the PPV at the time. I went to Vince and said, 'Hey Vince, boss, would it be fine if I came to the ring, pull the ladder out in the Royal Rumble.' and he like, 'HA, Truth, that would be funny.'"

Vince loved the idea and one of the funniest Royal Rumble moments of all-time was born.
