1990 = Hulk Hogan (#25)
1991 = Hulk Hogan (#24)
1992 = Ric Flair (#3)
1993 = Yokozuna (#27)
1994 = Lex Luger (#23) / Bret Hart (#27)
1995 = Shawn Michaels (#1)
1996 = Shawn Michaels (#18)
1997 = Steve Austin (#5)
1998 = Steve Austin (#24)
1999 = Vince McMahon (#2)
2000 = The Rock (#24)
2001 = Steve Austin (#27)
2002 = Triple H (#22)
2003 = Brock Lesnar (#29)
2004 = Chris Benoit (#1)
2005 = Batista (#28)
2006 = Rey Mysterio (#2)
2007 = Undertaker (#30)
2008 = John Cena (#30)

2010 = Edge (#29)
2011 = Alberto Del Rio (#38)
2012 = Sheamus (#22)
2013 = John Cena (#19)
2014 = Batista (#28)
2015 = Roman Reigns (#19)
2016 = Triple H (#30)
2017 = ?


Steve Austin holds the record for most Royal Rumble victories at 3.
Five people have won 2 Royal Rumbles (Shawn Michaels, Hulk Hogan, John Cena, Batista and Triple H)
Number 27 is the luckiest number with the most Royal Rumble winners at 4, but #24 and #30 are close with 3 a piece.
Batista is the only person to win from the same spot twice, at #28
2007 and 2008 is the only time the same number won in succession (#30)
When adjusted for inflation, Hacksaw Jim Duggan's #13 entrance number out of 20 wrestlers instead of 30 becomes an equivalent of #19.5 (rounded up to #20) by today's standards
When adjusted for deflation, Alberto Del Rio's #38 win out of 40 wrestlers translates to #28.5 (rounded up to #29) by today's standards
When factoring in both Lex Luger's and Bret Hart's victories, the 30 Royal Rumble victors have an average winning entry number of #20. If you also adjust Duggan's and Del Rio's numbers, you still get an average of #20.


However, statistics show that entries #1-10 have produced 7 winners, entries #11-20 have only produced 4 winners, and entries #21-30 have produced 19 winners (if you count #38).

Therefore, 63% of the time the winner will be from 21-30, 13% of the time the winner will be from 11-20, and 23% of the time they'll be in the first 1-10 entrants.

Judging by that, the #20 entrance will NOT be the winner of this next Royal Rumble most likely, but the safe bet is 21-30. Out of that group of numbers, the one with the highest winning record is good old #27 with 4 and second place is tied between #24, #29 and #30. Keeping that in mind, our next winner should be either #25 or #26 to compensate for repetition.

The numbers clearly show that Scott Steiner wins.

Statistics in a show which is decided by a senile old man, what could go wrong!

It's hard to argue with scientifics, except like this: You're wrong, scientifics!

Gotta say it. Pretty darn close
