0 Points 448. Bastion Booger (433) Booger was supposed to be in 94 Rumble but ended up not showing up due to being "sick". Really he was just used to build suspense for Bret Hart's entrance. Hart had been injured earlier in the night and the announcers thought it was him that no showed at the number 25 spot. However, Hart would end up entering a few spots later with the announcers then saying that it was Booger who was the one who didn't show up. 447. Spike Dudley (432) Spike was supposed to enter the 2004 Rumble but ended up not making it to the match due to being attacked by the departing Kane who chokeslammed him on the ramp leaving him unable to compete. 446. No Way Jose (431) Jose nearly broke the record for shortest time in a Rumble match in 2019 when he was immediately clotheslined out by Samoa Joe in 2 seconds. Adding insult to injury he and his entire conga line were then pummeled in the aisle way by Drew McIntyre as he was making his way to the ring as the next entrant. 445. Mike Kanellis (430) Kanellis was another guy who almost broke the record for shortest time spent in a Rumble as he was clotheslined out by Mark Henry in the Great Royal Rumble in just 3 seconds. 444. JD McDonagh (NR) Judgement Day member had a rough go of it in the 2024 Royal Rumble. Before he could even enter the ring he was speared on the floor by an irate Bron Breakker who had been eliminated moments before and decided to take his frustrations out on JD. Aspiring Judgement Day member R-Truth was the next entrant and would "help" McDonagh back into the ring before he could recover. McDonagh was then clotheslined out by Jey Uso in just three seconds. 443. Gillberg (429) The man they call Gillberg participated in the 99 Rumble. After he entered the ring, he started posing on the ropes and was dumped by Edge in just 7 seconds. 442. Tazz (428) Tazz made his lone Rumble appearance in 2001. He rushed the ring and was immediately grabbed by Kane, who put him on the top turnbuckle before knocking him off and out after just 10 seconds. 441. Epico (427) Epico had a pretty crappy showing in the 2012 Rumble as Mick Foley eliminated him with Mr. Socko after 11 seconds. 440. Tom Brandi (426) The former Sal Sincere was in the 98 Rumble. At the time he was actually getting a mild push and was involved in a mini feud with Marc Mero. Whatever push he had was gone after his poor showing in the Rumble as he was eliminated by Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie in just 12 seconds. 439. The Sandman (425) Sandman was in the 07 Rumble. He started hitting everybody with his Singapore Cane before King Booker got the better of him and tossed him out after just 15 seconds. 438. James Ellsworth (424) Ellsworth was in the 2017 Rumble. At first he wouldn't get in the ring out of fear for Braun Strowman who was standing tall. After being duped into entering by his former friend Dean Ambrose, Ellsworth was tossed by Strowman in brutal fashion after just 15 seconds. 437. Fake Razor Ramon (423) The fake Razor only lasted 17 seconds in the 97 Rumble before Ahmed Johnson easily eliminated him. 436. Enzo Amore (422) The Certified G didn't last long in the 2017 Rumble as he had the misfortune of entering when Brock Lesnar was standing tall in the ring. Lesnar clotheslined him and then tossed him in just 18 seconds. 435. Sylvan (421) Sylvan was in the 06 Rumble. He tried to sucker Bobby Lashley but it ended up backfiring as Lashley heaved him out in 19 seconds 434. Timothy Well (420) Well was in 95 Rumble as one half of the horrible Well Dunn tag team. Bulldog eliminated him in 23 seconds. 433. Squat Team #2 (419) Was eliminated in 24 seconds by Vader despite help from his already eliminated twin partner. 432. Adam Rose (418) Rose was in the 2015 Royal Rumble, getting tossed by Rusev in 24 seconds 431. Ivory (417) Appeared in the 2022 Women's Rumble using her Right to Censor gimmick. On the way to the ring she lectured the women in the ring on the microphone about their "wayward" ways before getting easily dumped by Rhea Ripley after just 25 seconds. 430. Jamie Noble (416) Noble was in the 08 Rumble. Going into the match he was involved in a love triangle storyline with Chuck Palumbo and Michelle McCool. He was going into the match with injured ribs which he suffered at the hands of Palumbo. Noble immediately went after Palumbo but was quickly overwhelmed and eliminated after 28 seconds. 429. Tyler Reks (415) Reks was in the 2011 Rumble. He had the misfortune of entering when there was just 4 members of Nexus in the ring. Not surprisingly, he was beat down and eliminated after 34 seconds. 428. B-Fab (414) B-Fab who has been used mainly as the valet of the group Hit Row got a spot in the 2023 Women's Rumble. She didn't do well as she was eliminated first by Rhea Ripley after just 36 seconds. 427. Pat McAfee (NR) Color commentator left the commentary position to enter the 2024 Rumble. McAfee would eliminate himself after just 38 seconds when he decided he wanted no part of Bron Breakker and Omos. 426. Hiroko Sumi (413) Undoubtedly the most obscure Royal Rumble participant ever Sumi was in the 50 Man Greatest Royal Rumble match. There's almost no information anywhere about the guy. All that's known is that he's a former sumo wrestler from Japan who had no involvement in pro wrestling before the event and has had none since. Apparently the only reason he was in the match was because the Prince of Saudi Arabia, where the event was held, wanted Yokozuna (as well as Undertaker and Ultimate Warrior) obviously not being aware of the fact that Yokozuna had been dead for 18 years. Apparently they just dug this guy up as a compromise. Sumi only lasted 41 seconds before getting dumped by Mark Henry. 425. The Boogeyman (412) Boogeyman made his Royal Rumble in 2015 as a surprise entrant, as he never competed in one during his run in the mid 2000's. He only lasted 47 seconds, getting clotheslined and easily tossed by Bray Wyatt. 424. Cameron (411) Appeared in the 2022 Women's Rumble as a surprise one off. Sonya Deville while sitting out on commentary despite an active participant in the match at the time flipped out upon hearing from the commentators Byron Saxton and Corey Graves that Cameron was a friend and former partner of Naomi whom Deville is currently feuding with. Deville hit the ring and battered Cameron before easily eliminating her after just 51 seconds. 423. Viktor (410) One half of the Ascension tag team, Viktor was in the Greatest Royal Rumble match. Viktor was eliminated by Daniel Bryan in just 51 seconds. 422. Summer Rae (409) Like Cameron another long released employee brought in to fill out the 2022 Women's Rumble due severe lack of roster depth. She immediately went after former rival Natalya before Charlotte intervened and speared her before letting Natalya have the honors of tossing her after just 52 seconds. 421. Melina (408) Former multi time Women's Champion was yet another quick one Rumble appearance in 2022. She drew #2 against Sasha Banks with the Boss quickly dumping her out after just 53 seconds. 420. Muhammad Hassan (407) One of the more controversial characters that's been in the WWE, Hassan hadn't made too many friends in the federation with his anti America rants. After entering the match everybody in the ring, both heel and face, ganged up on him and tossed him out after 54 seconds. Hassan didn't take it too well and decided to take his frustrations out on the entering Scotty 2 Hotty, attacking him in the aisle and putting him the dreaded camel clutch. 419. Ernest "The Cat" Miller (406) The Cat had a cup of coffee in the WWE. He still managed to get in the 04 Rumble. He entered with Benoit and Orton both down. Instead of taking advantage of this situation he just decided to dance which resulted in Orton throwing him out in 56 seconds. 418. Vickie Guerrero (405) Probably the most hated female personality in WWE history, the former Smackdown GM was in the 2018 Women's Rumble. Vickie's performance was what you would expect as she shouted "Excuse Me!" at the girls in the ring a bunch times before they eventually got annoyed and tossed her out in short order. Vickie did manage to get a parting shot in before leaving as she hit incoming entrant Carmella, who was mouthing off to her on her way to the ring, with her own Money in the Bank briefcase.

It's still funny to me how Spike's non-appearance in 2004 was the only time a Dudley was part of the Rumble match until that time Bubba was in one.

I look forward to this thread after the Rumble every year.
Let's see how closer to the top Cody is... Was always a dark horse in Rumbles before he left WWE but now that he has 2 wins in a row.. I imagine Gunther will also be sneaking up to the top.
On the woman's side I obviously expect Naomi to climb a lot of places and obviously Bayley for winning it.
It's always interesting to see how one strong performance can really elevate you up the list.

So it looks like 15 new participates (1/4 of overall participants this year) were added onto the list. At this rate there will be over 500 Rumble participants in 4-5 years.

1 point 417. Simon Dean (404) Dean was in the 05 and 06 Rumbles. In 05 he spent his whole interval doing exercises outside the ring before the next entrant Shawn Michaels came out and beat him up before quickly eliminating him. 06 was another short stay as he was eliminated by Rey Mysterio and Triple H who he had foolishly tried to form a partnership with. His total ring time for 2 rumbles is only 1:05. 416. Rico (403) Rico was in the 04 Rumble. He actually got a decent amount of offense on Orton in his time in. Orton however used an RKO to put a stop to that before dumping him out after 1:06. 415. Squat Team #1 (402) Competed in 96 Rumble with his partner. Eliminated by Yokozuna in 1:11. 414. Psicosis (401) Competed in the 06 Rumble as a member of the Mexicools. He had a mini match with his old WCW/ECW nemesis Rey Mysterio, who eliminated him with a headscissors after 1:15. 413. Tyler Breeze (400) Prince Pretty's two Royal Rumble appearances were anything but. In 2016 he was eliminated in a minute after getting lifted up in fireman's carry by AJ Styles and then punched off Styles shoulders by Roman Reigns and falling over the top rope. In the Greatest Royal Rumble he was eliminated by Mojo Rawley in just 16 seconds. 412. Michael Cole (399) I know with the roster being so depleted by injuries that they were desperate for guys to fill out the Rumble in 2012, but did they really have to waste a spot on this guy? Cole got up from his commentary position to enter at #21. After avoiding everybody he was confronted by the next entrant, Kharma. The intimated Cole then jumped over the top to the apron to avoid her, but then was pulled off and eliminated by his brodcast partners for the night Booker T and Jerry Lawler after he lasted for 1:23. 411. Cibernetico (398) One of the AAA wrestlers in the 97 Rumble. He lasted 1:25 before Mil Mascaras eliminated him. 410. "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Ray (397) The Gigolo was in the 95 Rumble as part of the Heavenly Bodies. He was the first elimination that night as Bulldog got rid of him after 1:25. 409. Dash Wilder (396) One half of the tag team the Revival, Wilder competed in the Greatest Royal Rumble Match. Dash was only in for a minute and change before getting to have to be the guy to get pulled out from the outside by Hornswoggle. 408. Johnny Knoxville (395) Star of the popular 2000's TV show Jackass, Knoxville was a celebrity comedy entrant in the 2022 Rumble. I have no idea why the felt the need to do this considering the last episode of Jackass aired in 2007 and the last movie spinoff was in 2010. Anyways he actually managed surprise Sami Zayn with a takedown but it was all down hill after that as the other guys took turns beating on him until he was booted out by Zayn after 1:26. 407. Jacqueline (394) Hall of Famer made a surprise appearance in the 2018 Women's Rumble. Only lasted 1:27 before getting tossed by Nia Jax. 406. Latin Lover (393) Latin Lover was another of the AAA guys in the 97 Rumble. He was backdropped out by Faaroog after 1:47. 405. Drew Gulak (392) Competed in 50 Man Greatest Royal Rumble match. Gulak was eliminated in just 1:47 by Tucker Knight. 404. Hakushi (391) Hakushi started off as a promising heel, however by the time his of lone Rumble appearance in 96 he had turned face for some reason and ended up playing second fiddle in a team with Barry Horowitz. Pretty sad. Hakushi just lasted just under 2 minutes before Owen Hart dumped him out. 403. Max Moon (390) Moon was in the 93 Rumble. Lawler eliminated him in 1:56 after he missed a spin kick in the corner.

2 points 402. Dan Matha (389) Another in and out Greatest Royal Rumble guy. Tossed by Braun in 2:01. Martha only had one TV appearance in three years in NXT so his inclusion was pretty random. If not for Hiroko Sumi he would probably be the most obscure guy to be in a Rumble. 401. Aiden English (388) Aiden was in the 2018 Rumble, going just a little over 2 minutes before getting kicked off the second rope by Finn Balor and falling out. 400. Junkyard Dog (387) JYD was in the first Rumble in 1988 which had 20 men. Despite getting the best position by drawing number 20, he only lasted 2:08 before getting dumped out by "Outlaw" Ron Bass. 399. Elijah Burke (386) The future Pope had a brief appearance in the 08 Rumble. He entered the match late and was eliminated in 2:10 when Triple H threw Mick Foley into him causing both him and Foley to tumble out. 398. Bill DeMott (385) DeMott got a decent push in late 02/early 03 which led to him getting a spot in the 03 Rumble. He was pretty dominant in his short stay before Tommy Dreamer entered with kendo sticks. Dreamer and Edge attacked DeMott with the sticks before he went out after a shot from Edge. While going out he would injure his wrist after it got tangled in the ropes. DeMott ended up retiring shortly afterwards and would serve as a commentator on Velocity for a little while. 397. Konnor (384) Ascension member competed in the Greatest Royal Rumble match. Konnor fared a little better then his partner Viktor although he still didn't do well by any means, getting dumped out in just 2:25. 396. Evan Bourne (383) Bourne made his only Rumble appearance in 2010. Like most that year his stay was short and unmemorable although he did get to do his shooting star press on Dolph Ziggler. He was eliminated by CM Punk in 2:26. 395. Saba Simba (382) Saba Simba was played by Tony Atlas who was a fairly big star in the company in the early/mid 80's. By the time he came back in 1990 he was in the twilight of his career and was saddled with the horrible Saba Simba gimmick. Simba appeared in the 91 Rumble, lasting 2:27 before being outsmarted and eliminated by Rick Martel. 394. Bull Buchanan/B-2 (381) Bull was in the 01 and 03 Rumbles. In 01, as a member of the Right to Censor, he was in for a little over 2 minutes before getting double teamed out by the Hardyz. Going into the 03 Rumble he had been teaming with John Cena as B-2. However on the Smackdown before the show Cena turned on him after a loss, injuring his shoulder in the process. In the Rumble the injured B-2 was easy prey as he was tossed by Edge in 24 seconds. This would end up being Bull's last appearance as he was released shortly afterwards which makes me wonder why they even had him in the match to begin with. 393. Boris Zhukov (380) Zhukov was in the first Rumble in 88. He was eliminated by Jake Roberts and Jim Brunzell in 2:33. 392. Col. Mustafa (379) Much better known as the Iron Sheik, he appeared in 92 Rumble for the vacant WWF Title. The way past his prime Sheik was dumped out fairly easily by Macho Man after 2:36. 391. "Rugged" Ronnie Garvin (378) A former NWA World Champion, Garvin didn't do too much in his WWF run. In his lone Rumble appearance in 89 he was eliminated by Andre the Giant with a hiplock after 2:39. 390. Omori (377) Omori was one of the many non roster nobodies that the WWF called upon to be in the 96 Rumble due to the lack of depth on their roster. Omori was in for 2:48 before getting eliminated by Jake Roberts. 389. Drew Carey (376) Carey was in the 01 Rumble. He wasn't supposed to be in the match as he was just at the show hoping to get advice from Mr. McMahon on how to do a good PPV as was about to do one in the coming weeks. McMahon duped him into entering the Rumble just to be a jerk. Drew quickly ended up getting in a confrontation with Kane. After refusing a bribe from Carey, Kane was about to chokeslam him. Fortunantely for Drew, Raven showed up as the next guy and saved him by hitting Kane with a kendo stick. Drew used this opportunity to wisely climb over the top rope and eliminate himself after 2:54. 388. Doug Gilbert (375) Gilbert apparently won a tournament for the USWA to get a spot in the 96 Rumble. He spent about his entire time in the match getting his ass handed to him by Vader who ended up eliminating him with press slam after 2:59. 387. The Blue Meanie (374) Blue Meanie was in the 99 Rumble. He was one of the many that were that were eliminated by Mabel that year as he was tossed after 2:59.

3 points 386. Paul London (373) London was in the 05 Rumble. He has probably had the nastiest elimination in the history of the match when Snitsky clotheslined him when he was on the apron into a back flip sell with London landing face first on the floor. It was so brutal that London had to be taken out on a stretcher. 385. "The Extraordinary Gentleman" Jack Gallagher (372) 205 Live star competed in the 2017 Rumble. He entered the ring with his umbrella and used it to attack all of the other guys in the ring with it. However when he tried to jump off the top rope and use it on Mark Henry, he was caught by the throat and heaved out of the ring for the first elimination of the match. 384. "The Natural" Butch Reed (371) Reed was one of the original 20 in first Royal Rumble in 88. He has the dubious distinction of being the first elimination in the history of the match when Jake Roberts dumped him as he was trying to help the Hart Foundation eliminate Tito Santana. 383. Keith Lee (370) NXT star was in the 2020 Rumble. He was one of the few entrants in the first half of the Rumble not to get immediately buried by Brock. However he still didn't do well as Brock eventually eliminated him after 3:32. 382. Tyson Kidd (369) Competed in the 2011 and 2015 Rumbles. 011 was a pretty embarrassing performance as he entered with Cena and Hornswoggle in the ring and spent almost his whole time in the match taking moves and selling for the little guy. After taking an attitude adjustment and a mini attitude adjustment he was tossed by Cena in a little under a minute. 2015 wasn't anything to write home about either, as he was dumped by Daniel Bryan after just a little over 2 minutes. 381. Bushwhacker Luke (368) Luke is one of the worst Rumble competitors in the history of the match as he only has a total time of 3:24 in three appearances. Most of it is from his first Rumble in 89 when he went for 3:08. In 91 he had one of the more funnier eliminations. He went into the ring doing his Bushwhacker march but was tossed by Earthquake in 4 seconds. He really didn't seem to care as he just continued doing his march back to locker room as if nothing happened. 95 was another real short run as Shawn Michaels tossed him in 12 seconds. 380. Sin Cara (367) Competed in the 2013 Royal Rumble. He lasted for 3:27 before getting press slammed out by Ryback. 379. Kenzo Suzuki (366) Kenzo was in the 05 Rumble. He was eliminated by Mysterio with a headscissors in 3:31. 378. "The Funkasaurus" Brodus Clay (365) Brodus was in the 2013 Rumble. He was in for 3:47 before getting ganged up on and dumped out by five other wrestlers. 377. Nunzio (364) Nunzio was in the 04 Rumble. He refused to get in the ring after his number was called and spent a lot of time sitting on the outside. Eventually he was forced in by John Cena. He then fell victim to the spear of Goldberg who then him press slammed out after 3:48. Nunzio was supposed to be in the 05 Rumble but didn't make it as he was bullied into giving up his number by Kurt Angle in a backstage segment. 376. Rick Steiner (363) The Dog Faced Gremlin competed in the 94 Rumble along with his brother Scott. The Steiners caught a big break when Rick drew #3 after Scott had drawn #1. They doubled teamed #2 entrant Samu who was eventually eliminated by Scott. Unlike like other teams (Demolition, Hardy Boyz) in this situation the Steiners, who were never known for their intelligence, actually played it smart by just waiting for the next guy to double team instead of fighting each other. Unfortunately Kwang would screw this strategy up by spraying Rick with his green mist. The blinded Rick was easy prey for the next entrant Owen Hart who eliminated him after 3:57.

4 points 375. Tiger Ali Singh (362) Tiger was in the 99 Rumble. He lasted 4:02 doing not much of note before getting tossed by Mabel. 374. Kenny Dykstra (361) Dykstra competed in the 07 Rumble at just the age of 20. At the time he was in a feud with Ric Flair which included him actually gaining a couple of wins over Flair. After Flair had been eliminated from the match by Edge, Dykstra stupidly decided to mock him by doing Flair's strut and ended up getting tossed by Edge as well after 4:05. 373. Grayson Waller (NR) Arrogant Aussie had a disappointing showing in his first Rumble this year, getting eliminated first by Carmelo Hayes after 4:05. 372. Alex Riley (360) The Miz's former apprentice made his Rumble debut in 2011. A-Ri was in for 2:50 before getting eliminated by Cena and Kofi in a botched spot where he was dumped to the apron but slipped off when he was supposed to hang. Apparently he was supposed to eliminate Cena later after a distraction from Miz who was on commentary however because of his screwup they had to call an audible with Miz just entering the ring and tossing Cena himself despite not even being in the match. A few months later, Riley would turn face after splitting up with Miz. In the 2012 Rumble, Riley drew #2, conveniently starting the match against Miz who had been forced into entering at #1. Riley would nearly eliminate his former boss, but got too overzealous and was lowbridged out after 1:15. 371. Daniel Puder (359) Puder earned a spot in the 05 Rumble by winning the Tough Enough competition. He spent his entire 4:09 getting chopped and beat up by Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, and Hardcore Holly before Holly eventually eliminated him. This was his only wrestling appearance after winning the contest as he was released shortly after. 370. Barry Horowitz (357) Horowitz is finishing high on the countdown for someone who spent almost his whole career looking up the lights. Horowitz was in the 96 Rumble. He was in the midst of the biggest push of his career after scoring a couple of upset wins over Skip the Bodydonna. Horowitz went for 4:15 before Owen Hart eliminated him. 369. Zack Ryder (356) Despite doing surprisingly well in standard battle royals throughout his career, the Long Island Iced Z didn't nowhere near as much luck in Royal Rumbles. All of his four appearances were short stays, with three of them being under a minute. 2010 was pretty much a burial for Ryder who up until that point was getting a fair push on ECW. He was tricked by CM Punk who hit him with a microphone then beat him up and eliminated him after 32 seconds. 011 was a little better as he surprisingly got a decent amount of offense on both Punk and Bryan but still only lasted 43 seconds before Bryan eliminated him with a hiptoss. Ryder turned face later in the year and would become real over with the fans, thanks largely in part to his popular Youtube show Z True Long Island Story. Ryder was rewarded with a push, culminating in a US Title victory in December. Unfortunately for Ryder, the bottom would quickly fall out on his push as he would become a mere pawn in the crappy Cena/Kane feud leading to Kane "injuring" him and causing him to lose his title to Jack Swagger. As a result of the injury angle he couldn't compete in the Rumble match. With them being so desperate for guys in the Rumble that year due to the large amount of legit injuries to their roster I have no clue why they felt it was so necessary to do this injury angle, especially with a popular babyface. He was in the Rumble in 2013, getting RKOed and tossed by Orton after 2:34. He was in again in 2015 in a comeback match after being out for a few months due to injury. He was tossed by Bray Wyatt in just a little over 30 seconds. 368. Scotty 2 Hotty (355) Scotty was in the Rumbles from 2000 through 2002 as well as 2005. In 2000 did his dance number with his Too Cool buddies before Rikishi clotheslined him and Grandmaster Sexay then eliminated them. In 2001 he had the bad luck of coming in when just the Undertaker and Kane were in the ring. He was eliminated in under a minute after taking a double chokelslam. In 02 he was eliminated by DDP as he was attempting to do the worm on Christian. In 05 he never even made it to the ring as he was attacked in the aisle by the already eliminated Muhammad Hassan who put him in the camel clutch. His total ring time is 4:24. 367. Steven Dunn (354) The other half of the Well Dunn. Dunn was in for 4:29 before getting eliminated by Aldo Montoya. 366. Santana Garrett (353) Seldom used NXT wrestler was a surprising admission into the 2021 Women's Rumble. She was eliminated by Rhea Ripley in 4:32. 365. Christopher Nowinski (351) Nowinski was in the 03 Rumble. He spent a lot of time on the outside as he just watched Jericho beat the crap of HBK. He would eventually get in and lasted 4:37 before Mysterio eliminated him with a headscissors. During his time in Nowinski was hit with a botched dropkick by Edge and suffered one of many concussions that would lead to his premature retirement later in the year. 364. Sgt. Slaughter (350) Sarge only competed in one Rumble in his long career. It was the 92 Rumble for the vacant WWF title. Slaughter had the sickest elimination of the night as he went out after a hard Irish Whip into the corner from Sid Justice after 4:37. 363. Angelo Dawkins (349) One half of the Streets Profits, Dawkins was in the Rumble the 2022 and 2023 Rumbles. He didn't last long in either. Omos got rid of him after just 2:15 in 2022. 2023 was pretty much the same as the year before as he was only in for a bit over 2 minutes again before being eliminated by Brock. 362. Lance Storm (358) Storm was in the 02 Rumble. He was in 4:46 before being eliminated by Al Snow after a battle on the apron. 361. Ivar (NR) One half of the Viking Raiders, Ivar competed in the 2024 Rumble. Bron Breakker eliminated him in 4:57.

5 points 360. The Brian Kendrick (345) Kendrick was in the 09 Rumble. He immediately eliminated Kofi Kingston by pushing him as he was on the second rope but then foolishly celebrated by doing his stupid dance and was tossed by Triple H right after in just 15 seconds. 359. Ricardo Rodriguez (343) With Alberto Del Rio out with a groin injury, his personal ring announcer Ricardo stepped up to the plate and entered the 2012 Rumble. Coming down in a crappy beat up car, Ricardo surprisingly managed to eliminate Justin Gabriel in an assist with Mick Foley before getting tossed by Santino after 2:19. 358. The Great Kabuki (342) Kabuki was in the 94 Rumble in a one shot deal. He was one Mr. Fuji's hired guns to take out Lex Luger. Kabuki helped in the group elimination of Mabel but was then tossed by Luger after 2:46. 357. Darren Young (341) Competed in the 2013 Rumble as part of the Prime Time Players tag team with Titus O'Neil. Darren helped in the group elimination of Brodus Clay before getting lowbridged out by Kofi after 2:51. 356. Skinner (340) Skinner was in the 92 and 93 Rumbles. In 92 he was duped and eliminated by Rick Martel. In 93 he actually survived getting eliminated by Mr. Perfect by skinning the cat but Perfect then dropkicked him and eliminated him anyways when he got back in. His total time for two rumbles is 5:18. 355. Sabu (339) Sabu was in the 07 Rumble. He was eliminated in 5:27 by Kane who chokeslammed him through a table, that Sabu had set up during his entrance, from the apron. 354. Dr. Tom Prichard (338) Prichard was in the 95 Rumble as a member of the Heavenly Bodies. He was eliminated in 5:30 by Shawn Michaels. 353. Dan "The Beast" Severn (337) Severn was in the 99 Rumble. He spent the majority of his 5:43 fighting Steve Blackman before both him and Blackman were eliminated by Mabel. 352. B. Brian Blair (336) Blair was in the first Rumble in 1988 as a member of the Killer Bees. Blair was in for 5:50 before getting eliminated by the One Man Gang. 351. Barbatude (335) Now better known as Commander Azeez, the Polish giant was in the Greatest Royal Rumble match. Barbatude was eliminated by Bruan in a little under 6 minutes. 350. "The Perfect 10" Tye Dillinger (334) Tye made his main roster debut in the 2017 Rumble, conveniently entering at #10. He lasted for 5:27 before getting tossed by Braun Strowman. In 2018 he was supposed to be in the Rumble again drawing #10 again (yeah I'm sure) but was attacked backstage by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn (who both lost the World Title match earlier in the show) with the latter then taking his spot in the match. In the Greatest Royal Rumble he was tossed by Bruan in just 29 seconds.

6 points 349. Kharma (343) Kharma became the third woman to enter a Royal Rumble, when she took part in the 2012 match. She was quite impressive in her short time in as she hit a implant buster on Dolph Ziggler and eliminated Hunico before Ziggler dumped her out from behind after 1 minute exactly. 348. El Torito (332) Los Matadores mascot was in the 2014 Rumble as a lame comedy entrant. He actually managed to eliminate Fandango with a springboard dropkick before Roman Reigns press slammed him out of the ring onto Fandango. 347. Yoshi Tatsu (331) Tatsu was in the 2010 and 2011 Rumbles. In 2010 he was eliminated in only 29 seconds by Cena. 2011 was at least a bit more respectable, going 5:35 before getting clotheslined out by Mark Henry. 346. Flash Funk (330) Funk was in the 97 Rumble. He had pretty cool elimination as Vader caught him then tossed him over his head with Funk clearing the top rope and plummeting all the way down to the floor without even touching the apron or anything to break his fall. 345. Adam Cole (329) NXT entrant in the 2018 Rumble. Cole entered the match sporting taped up ribs as a result of an NXT Takeover match the night before. Cole didn't do much, lasting 6:34 before getting headscissored out by Rey Mysterio. 344. Alba Fyre (NR) Unholy Union member competed in the 2024 Women's Rumble. Alba didn't do much, getting eliminated by Naomi after 6:22. 343. Doink The Clown (328) Doink was in the 94 and 95 Rumbles. In 94 he was eliminated by Bam Bam Bigelow, his rival at the time, after a press slam to the floor in which it looked like he hurt his knee on the landing. In 95 he was eliminated by Kwang after a superkick as he was on the apron after 4:50. 342. Maxxine Dupri (NR) Maxxine lasted for 6:39 in the 2024 Women's Rumble before getting eliminated by Nia Jax.

7 points 341. Primo (327) Despite being employed by WWE over a decade, Primo only made two Rumble appearances. In 2009 he was one half of the Tag Team Champs with his brother Carlito, but only Carlito participated in the Rumble match while Primo was left out for some reason. In 2011 he was so low on the card that he couldn't even make the cut for the 40 man Rumble match. After being on Superstars jobber duty for two years, Primo would finally catch a break when his cousin Epico was called up to the main roster to team with him in late 2011. The duo would quickly win the Tag Titles leading to both getting spots in the 2012 Rumble match. Primo lasted a little under 2 minutes before getting backdropped out by Mick Foley. Primo made an appearance in the Greatest Royal Rumble match, getting eliminated by Kurt Angle in 5:10. 340. Justin Gabriel (326) Gabriel was in the 2011 and 2012 Rumbles. In 011 he was eliminated by Danial Bryan in just 58 seconds after missing a 450 splash. In 012 he lasted 6:12 before getting eliminated by the unlikely combination of Mick Foley and Ricardo Rodriguez. 339. Victoria (325) Victoria made her first WWE appearance in twelve years as a surprise entrant in the 2021 Women's Rumble. She lasted a little over 7 minutes before getting choked out and eliminated by Shayna Baszler. 338. "Double J" Jeff Jarrett (324) Jarrett might be the biggest underachiever when it comes to performances in Rumbles. Despite being a good wrestler who was always pushed decently, all of the Rumbles he was in were short stays. He was pretty new to the federation when he made his Rumble debut in 94. You would think since that since he was such a new act that they had built up for weeks with vignettes, that they would give him a good showing to put him over. Instead he was eliminated by Randy Savage in just 1:19. Jarrett wouldn't appear in another Rumble until 1998. For some reason him and his manager at the time Jim Cornette attacked Owen Hart when he was making his entrance. This would prove to be a mistake as Owen, who had been taken to the back, returned the favor on Jarrett before tossing him out in just 1:05. Jarrett had another short outing in the 99 Rumble, getting eliminated by Triple H in 3:39. Jarrett made a surprise appearance in the 2019 Rumble. He drew #2 while the modern version of him, Elias, was #1. Elias asked to Jarrett to do a duet with him but turned on him and hit him with his guitar before tossing him out after just 1:20. 337. Tugboat/Typhoon (322) Competed in the 91 and 93 Rumbles. In 91 as Tugboat he drew #30. Surprisingly he would go after his friend Hulk Hogan and nearly eliminated him. The Hulkster however landed on the apron, then came back in and eliminated Tugboat after a little over 2 and a half minutes. In 93 he was Typhoon and was teaming with Earthquake as the Natural Disasters. The two partners would end up going at it with Typhoon once again getting the short end of the stick as Quake eliminated him after a little over 5 minutes after Typhoon missed a charge in the corner. 336. Perry Saturn (320) Saturn was in the 01 and 02 Rumbles. In 01 he was eliminated by Kane and in 02 he was eliminated by Stone Cold. His total time for two Rumbles is 7:59.

8 points 335. King Kong Bundy (319) Bundy was in the 95 Rumble. He scored one of the quickest eliminations in the history of the match when he backdropped Mo of Men on a Mission out in just 4 seconds. He then got into a big man showdown with Mo's partner, the 500 pound Mabel. Mabel got the better of the exchange, eliminating Bundy in 3 minutes even. 334. Headshrinker Samu (318) Samu was in the 93 and 94 Rumbles. In 93 he was grabbed by the throat by the Undertaker who then threw the Headshrinker out in a nice elimination. In 94 he was double teamed by the Steiners and was eventually eliminated. His total time his 8:02. 333. Jillian Hall (317) Mid-Late 2000's comedy heel women's wrestler was a surprise entrant in 2021. She would make an alliance with modern heel woman comedy wrestler, Billie Kay. The "Billie and Jillie" alliance would come to an end when Jillian started attacking the members of the Riott Squad whom Billie had unsuccessfully been trying to join. Jillian would then get eliminated by Billie after getting big booted off the apron. 332. Maria Kanellis (316) Maria was in the 2019 Women's Rumble. She managed to stay in for over a bit over 8 minutes which was probably too long of a stay for her as she looked rough in her time in most notably in a very awkward and weird exchange with Alicia Fox and Alicia's hat that nobody seemed to know what to make of. Fox eventually eliminated her with a dropkick. 331. Mercedes Martinez (315) Mercedes was in the 2020 Women's Rumble. She lasted for 8:14 before Fire and Desire gave her their running knee/legsweep combo and then tossed her out. 330. Indi Hartwell (347) Indi was in the 2023 and 2024 Women's Rumbles. Neither was anything impressive. In 2023 she lasted for 4:51 before getting pushed out by Sonya Deville when trying to springboard into the ring. In 2024 she was eliminated by Bayley in 3:23. 329. Mark Jindrak (314) Jindrak was in the 05 Rumble as one of Kurt Angle's goons along with Luther Reigns. Jindrak did alright lasting 8:15 before Kane threw him out. 328. Kalisto (313) The luchador who does lucha things competed in the 2017 Rumble. He lasted for 8:17 before getting launched out of the ring by Braun Strowman. 327. Kelly Kelly (312) Former Diva's Champion was in the 2018, 2020, and 2022 Women's Rumbles in one off appearances to help make up the numbers for the always short handed women's roster. All were short stays. In 2018 Kelly was eliminated in 4:44 after Nia Jax fought off a piggy back sleeper attempt by tossing her off her back and over the top rope. In 2020, filling in for an injured Sasha Banks. she lasted for 2:29 before getting taken out by Charlotte Flair. In 2022 she was eliminated by Sasha in 1:05. 326. Grandmaster Sexay (311) Grandmaster was in the 2000 and 2001 Rumbles. In 2000 he lasted 7:42 before getting eliminated by his fellow member of Too Cool, Rikishi. In 2001 he only lasted 1:03 before Kane eliminated him by hitting him in the head with a trash can. 325. Mantaur (310) Considered by most as one of the worst characters ever in wrestling, Mantaur competed in the 95 Rumble. He lasted 8:51 which isn't bad at all when you take into account that the match only lasted a little over a half hour that year. 324. Raven (309) Raven was in the 01 Rumble. He went a decent 8:51 before Kane tossed him out.

9 points 323. Madcap Moss (309) Competed in the 2022 Rumble match. At the time he was Happy Corbin's sidekick. After entering him and Corbin actually would dominate for a bit, resulting in Moss actually scoring a surprise elimination of AJ Styles. Unfortunately for them Drew McIntyre, returning from being put on the shelf by Corbin and Moss, would enter shortly after and eliminate both of them after Moss lasted for 4:24. 322. Rick Boogs (307) Another one and done 2022 Rumble guy. Boogs would score an elimination by powering out Chad Gable before getting taken out by Happy Corbin after 4:33. 321. Curt Hawkins (306) Hawkins who had a losing streak that reached 269 losses, unsurprisingly had short stays in the Greatest Royal Rumble (20 seconds) and the 2019 Rumble (little over 4 minutes). However what was surprising was the fact that he actually managed to score an elimination in the latter when he outsmarted Titus O'Neil and tossed him out. Unfortunately for Hawkins his joy would be short lived as Samoa Joe then tossed him immediately afterwards. 320. Chainz (305) Chainz of the DOA (Disciples of Apocalypse) was in the 98 Rumble. He lasted 4:56 and eliminated Goldust. He also had a cool elimination as Austin backdropped him out from one of the corners of the ring and he hit the steps face first on the way down. 319. Kevin Thorn (304) Thorn was in the 07 Rumble. He was in for 6:15 and took part in the group elimination of Viscera before getting eliminated by Benoit. 318. Bart Gunn (303) Gunn was in the 94, 95, and 97 Rumbles. He really didn't do much of note in any of them. In 94 he was eliminated by Diesel. In 95 he went at it a bit with his partner and "brother" Billy before both were eliminated by Crush. In 97 he was clotheslined out by Austin. His total time is 9:15. 317. Tajiri (302) Tajiri was in the 03 and 04 Rumbles. In 03 he was eliminated by Jericho after attempting to put him in the tarantula. In 04 actually managed to apply it on Mark Henry but Rhyno the hit Henry with the gore which broke it loose and caused Tajiri to fall to the floor. His total time is 9:20 316. Duke "The Dumpster" Drosse (301) Another Wrestlecrap inductee, Duke was in the 95 and 96 Rumbles. He did alright in 95, going for 8:13. 96 wasn't as good. Earlier in the night he won the right to be #30 after getting a fluke DQ win over Hunter Hearst Helmsley. His great position wouldn't help him much as he was eliminated in just 1:10 by Diesel and Kama. 315. Ludwig Kaiser (NR) Imperium member was in the 2024 Rumble, lasting for 9:29 before being eliminated by Kofi Kingston. 314. Tommy Dreamer (300) Dreamer was in the 03, 07 and 08 Rumbles. He didn't last too long in any of them. In 03 he brought with him a bunch of weapons that ended up being used against him, as Jericho and Christian hit him with a conchairto with trashcan lids before tossing him. In 07 he was eliminated by Kane. In 08 he was eliminated by Batista. His total time is 9:37. 313. The Hurricane/Gregory Helms (299) The Hurricane has consistently been pretty terrible in Rumbles. With the exception of 2007 all of his other five appearances lasted only about a minute or less. In 02 he tried to double chokeslam Stone Cold and Triple H in a funny spot. He ended up getting tossed by the both of them in just 39 seconds. In 04 he was tossed in about 20 seconds by Matt Morgan and looked to nearly tear his ACL in the process. In 05 he was eliminated by Eddie Guerrero in 1:04. In 07, as just Gregory Helms, he had his best showing going 6:50 before being eliminated by King Booker. He was in the 2018 Rumble as a surprise entrant, looking in pretty rough shape. Just like old times he was eliminated in short order, as Cena fought off a chokeslam attempt and tossed him in under a minute. In 2021 he was back again as a surprise entrant and had his usual showing, getting tossed in 30 seconds after trying the double chokeslam on Lashley and Big E. 312. Montez Ford (298) Street Profits member was in the 2022 and 2023 Rumbles. In 2022 he did ok, lasting a little over 9 minutes before getting tossed by Omos. 2023 sucked as he was heaved out by Damien Priest in under a minute.

She was released a few months before the first Women's Rumble in 2018 and was wrestling in other companies the next several years before returning in late 2022 for a short lived second run. Emma did ok, lasting a little over 10 minutes before getting targeted by Damage CTRL and booted out by Dakota Kai. 306. Adam Bomb (292) Bomb was in the 94 and 95 Rumbles. Both weren't anything special. In 94, after drawing #30, he was eliminated by Luger. In 95 he was eliminated by future Kronik partner Crush. His total time is 10:15. 305. Rosey (291) Rosey competed in the 03 Rumble as a member of 3 Minute Warning along with his cousin Jamal. Rosey did alright, going for 10:16 before getting backdropped out by Kane. 304. Karrion Kross (358) Kross had a disappointing showing in both the 2023 and 2024 Rumbles. In 2023 he was Claymored out by McIntyre in just 4:11. In 2024 he was eliminated by Bobby Lashley in 6:20 although he would get the last laugh by then pulling out Lashley from the outside to eliminate him as well. 303. Pierroth (290) Pierroth was one of the AAA wrestlers in 97 Rumble. He lasted 10:32 before getting eliminated by Mil Mascaras. 302. William Regal (289) Regal was only in three Rumbles during his long career in WWE. He never really did much in any of them. In 01 he surprisingly only lasted 2:01 before getting tossed by Test. He wouldn't be in another until 09 where he was eliminated by CM Punk in 4:32. He was then in the 2011 Rumble and it had looked like he had eliminated John Morrison. However, Morrison survived by using his awesome parkour spot. The befuddled Regal was then dumped from behind by Ted Dibiase after 4:10. 301. Dory Funk Jr. (287) A legend in pro wrestling, Funk was in the 96 Rumble. He was eliminated in 10:53 by Savio Vega after a battle on the apron. 300.

Lasting 10 minutes or getting 2 eliminations is not quite enough to crack the top 300.
