Over the Top: WWE Royal Rumble Stats & Records

OVER THE TOP ROYAL RUMBLE STATS & RECORDS For 27 years, the Royal Rumble has been the first stop on WWE's Road to WrestleMania. Thirty Superstars enter the battle royal at timed intervals, and entrants are eliminated by being thrown over the top rope and having both feet touch the floor outside the ring. The last Superstar standing gets a shot at the WWE World Heavy- weight Championship in the main event of WrestleMania. The Royal Rumble has produced unforgettable moments and seemingly-unbreakable records. These are just a few of those statistics. WINNERS BY ENTRY NUMBER CHRIS SHAWN MICHAELS (1995) BENOIT (2004) REY MYSTERIO (2006) VINCE MсМАНON (1999) RIC FLAIR (1992) STEVE AUSTIN (1997) Since 1988's inaugural Royal Rumble, 22 individual wWE Superstars have won the annual battle royal. Some won in multiple years, and one year produced co-winners. Drawing a high number and entering late is definitely an advantage, but it's not always enough. #1 entrants have won the Royal Rumble just as often as those who have drawn #30. The coveted #27 spot has produced a record four winners, but the last one was in 2001. 13 18 19 22 23 24 25 RANDY ORTON (2009) JIM DUGGAN (1988) SHAWN MICHAELS (1996) JOHN CENA (2013) TRIPLE H SHEAMUS (2002) (2012) LEX LUGER (1994) HULK HOGAN (1991) STEVE AUSTIN (1998) THE ROCK (2000) 27 28 HULK HOGAN (1990) BIG JOHN STUDD (1989) BRET HART (1994) STEVE AUSTIN (2001) YOKOZUNA (1993) 29 30 38 BATISTA BATISTA (2005) (2014) BROCK LESNAR (2003) EDGE (2010) JOHN CENA (2008) THE UNDERTAKER (2007) ALBERTO DEL RIO (2011) INFAMOUS ROYALTY HULK HOGAN HuLKA REIGNS YOKOZUNA ROMAN CONSECUTIVE EMANIA WRESTLEMANIA (SINGLE RUMBLE MYSTERIO DEL RIO JIM REY ALBERTO FIRST RUMBLE WIN: 1 1:2:12 TIME: 30-SUPERSTAR LONGEST 1988 MARELLA KANE TRIPLE H SANTIN.
