11 points 299. Chyna (285) Chyna was the first woman to be in a Rumble match. She was in the 99 and 2000 Rumbles. In 99 she eliminated Mark Henry but was then clotheslined out by Austin in just 35 seconds. In 2000 she eliminated Jericho, who she was feuding with at the time over the IC title, with a suplex as she was on the apron but then was knocked off the apron and eliminated right after by Big Bossman after 37 seconds. 298. Dick Murdoch (284) Murdock was in the 95 Rumble in a one shot deal. He did surprisingly well, as he helped Crush eliminate both the Smoking Gunns while lasting over 5 minutes. 297. Roderick Strong (283) NXT star was in the Greatest Royal Rumble match. Strong eliminated Rhyno while lasting 6 minutes even. 296. Ahmed Johnson (282) Ahmed was in the 97 and 98 Rumbles. In 97 he was still a big deal and was looked as one the companys top future stars. That year he eliminated the Fake Razor Ramon before eliminating himself after 3:02 to go after Faarooq, his rival, who he had spotted in the aisle. By 98 injuries had really put a big damper on Ahmed's career. He showed up for the 98 Rumble looking in pretty rough shape. The poor guy was in such poor shape that he had a tough time just getting into the ring. Mark Henry and D'Lo Brown dumped him out after just 3:18. This ended up being one of his final appearances for the company as he left shortly after, wrestling his last match for them at the February No Way Out of Texas PPV. 295. Torrie Wilson (281) Torrie was a surprise entrant in the 2018 Women's Rumble, somehow looking just as good as she did in when she was in the company in the early to mid 2000's. Torrie eliminated Dana Brooke but then was eliminated herself not long after as Sonya Deville knocked her off the apron with a kick after 2:41. She was a legend's entrant again for the 2021 Rumble, getting eliminated by Shayna in 3:59. 294. Tiffany Stratton (NR) Accomplishments: Final Four (2024) Stratton made her main roster debuted in the 2024 Women's Rumble and did well. After drawing #29 she eliminated Roxanne Perez and was in the last 5 before both her and Bianca Belair were simultaneously dumped out by Bayley. 293. Tully Blanchard (280) Blanchard was in the 89 Rumble as one of Bobby Heenan's Brain Busters along with Arn Anderson. The Busters teamed up to dump Marty Jannetty but then were then both taken out by a double clothesline from Hulk Hogan. 292. Hornswoggle (279) Hornswoggle was in 2008 and 2011 Rumbles. At least in 08 he was part an angle as his "father" Mr. McMahon put him in the match as a act of "tough love". Hornswoggle hid under the ring for about 26 minutes, although he did come out briefly to pull out the Miz, before Mark Henry and Big Daddy V eventually got a hold of him. Finlay, later revealed to be Hornswoggle's real father, jumped the gun of his entrance to come save him with his shillelagh. Finlay was disqualified as a result and Hornwoggle despite never being eliminated just decided to leave with him. He was in the 2011 Rumble too in a waste of a spot as he wasn't even a big part of the show any more and the character had run it's course. Even more inexplicably he was allowed to stay in longer then most, lasting 9:39 before Sheamus finally eliminated him with a brogue kick as he was on the top rope. Hornswoggle made a surprise appearance in the Greatest Royal Rumble, helping eliminate Dash Wilder from the outside before getting eliminated by Tony Nese after a minute in the ring. 291. Pete Dunne (278) The Bruiserweight was a surprise entrant in the 2019 Rumble. Dunne lasted for over 11 minutes before getting Claymore Kicked and tossed by Drew Mcintyre. 290. Luke Gallows (277) Gallows was in the 2020 and Greatest Royal Rumble matches. Total ring time is 11:16. 289. Santos Escobar (346) Leader of Legado was in the 2023 and 2024 Rumbles. Neither were anything to write to home about. In 2023 he was eliminated by Brock after 4:56 and in 2024 he was thrown about by Carlito in 6:37. 388. The Warlord (275) Warlord just flat out sucked at Royal Rumbles. There's really no generous way to put it. Despite being a big guy that was always pushed decently he almost always did poorly in the match. In 1989 he set the shortest time in the ring record that stood for 20 years, when he was clotheslined out by Hulk Hogan in 2 seconds. 1990 actually wasn't too bad as he went a decent 8:16 but 91 and 92 were crappy showings too. Despite getting excellent draws, 29 and 30 respectively, he didn't even last 2 minutes in neither of them. In both he was eliminated by Hogan again, although in 92 it was in a double team effort with Sid Justice. 287. Scott Dawson (274) Dawson was the Greatest Royal Rumble match as part of the Revival along with Dash Wilder. Dawson lasted for 11:44 before getting catapulted out by Bobby Roode.

12 points 286. Tony Nese (273) The Premier Athlete was in the Greatest Royal Rumble match, eliminating Hornswoggle and lasting 7:13 before getting tossed by Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods. 285. Carlos Colon (272) Colon was in the 93 Rumble in a one shot deal. Gorilla Monsoon called him a youngster despite the fact he was well into his 40's at the time. He lasted 7:25 and eliminated Damien Demento before becoming one of Yokozuna's many victims. 284. Diamond Dallas Page (271) DDP was in the 02 Rumble. At the time they were trying to push him as a face with a positive speaker gimmick after his heel run where he was feuding with Undertaker, due to the fact he was stalking Undertaker's wife, flopped. DDP eliminated Scotty 2 Hotty and lasted a little over 5 minutes before being backdropped out by Christian off camera. He was in the 2015 Rumble as a surprise and hit everyone in the ring with Diamond Cutters before the next entrant, Rusev, tossed him out after 2:28. 283. Erick Rowan (270) Rowan was in the 2014, 2016, and 2020 Royal Rumbles. He's basically the modern day Warlord when it comes to Rumbles in that he's a big intimidating guy who would yet always seem to do horrible and get eliminated in short order in every one he was in. In 2014 as part of the Wyatt Family he was in for 4:47 before getting clotheslined out by Batista. In 2015 he wasn't an official participant but attacked Curtis Axel during his entrance and ran to the ring to fight his former Wyatt Family partners, Luke Harper and Bray Wyatt. Rowan was denied entry into the match due to getting fired by Authority along with all the other members of John Cena's Survivor Series team, and then losing a qualifying match to Harper when he was rehired. Rowan and Harper were both dumped by Wyatt despite Rowan not officially being counted as an active member in the match which is weird, as other guys who have attacked guys to take their spot (Mabel in 99, Foley in 04 etc.) were still counted as legal participants. By the 2016 Rumble the Wyatt's had reunited while also adding a new member to their ranks in the giant Braun Strowman. Rowan assisted Harper and Strowman in dumping Mark Henry before getting clotheslined out by Brock Lesnar in 4:14. By the 2020 Rumble Rowan was on his own and was getting a good push with a lot of squash wins and it seemed like he was finally starting to cement himself as a legit monster in WWE. However whatever push and momentum he had was killed dead in the Rumble when they inexplicably had him get bitched out by Brock in 8 seconds instantly killing his push dead. Why they would do this to a guy they had been giving squash matches to on Raw for like 3 months I have no idea. 282. Road Warrior Animal (269) Animal made his Rumble debut in 91 as one half the legendary Legion of Doom with his partner Hawk. Animal teamed with Hawk to double clothesline the Undertaker out before getting backdropped out by Earthquake after 6:39. Animal wouldn't make another Rumble appearance until 06 where he was eliminated by RVD after 2:49. 281. Super Crazy (268) Super Crazy was in the 06 and 07 Rumbles. In 06 he was in for 7:40. His elimination was missed completely by the camera crew. In 07 he was in for 4:32 before Rated RKO got rid of him. 280. Damien Demento (267) Demento had a surprisingly half way decent run in the 93 Rumble, lasting 12:27. 279. Droz (266) Droz was in the 99 Rumble, lasting a solid 12:30.

13 points 278. Tegan Nox (323) Tegan was in the 2020, 2023, and 2024 Women's Rumbles. She hasn't had much success with a total ring time of just 8:53 in three appearances. In 2020 she tossed by Shayna Baszler in 3:50. 2023 was a very similar showing as Asuka eliminated her in 3:41. In 2024 she was only in for 1:22 but did manage to get on the board for eliminations when she threw out mentor Natayla after she caught Nattie trying to double cross her. 277. Roxanne Perez (352) One of the top stars in NXT, Roxanne was in the 2023 and 2024 Women's Rumbles. In 2023 she was eliminated by Damage CTRL in 4:34. In 2024 she improved on her performance from the year before by lasting 8:29 although again she was a non factor before getting eliminated by Tiffany Stratton. 276. "Terrific" Terry Taylor/The Red Rooster (265) One of the more underrated talents that's been in wrestling, Taylor just never recovered after he was given the horrible Red Rooster gimmick. As the Rooster he was in the the 89 Rumble and lasted a solid 11:17 although he spent almost all of it getting his ass kicked by everybody. The Rooster would be back for the 90 Rumble as an alternate for the "The Widowmaker" Barry Windham who left the federation. Rooster only lasted 1:58, with the majority of it spent getting beat up by Andre the Giant who easily tossed him out. After spending the next couple of years in WCW he would return to the WWF in late 92 as "Terrific" Terry Taylor. Taylor was in the 93 Rumble but only lasted 24 seconds when both him and Koko B. Ware were dumped out by Ted Dibiase as they were fighting on the ropes. 275. Trevor Murdoch (264) Murdoch was in the 06 Rumble. He was in for a solid 13:41 before HBK eliminated him. 274. Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake (263) The Barber lasted a solid 13:56 in his only Rumble appearance in 1989.

One of my favorite announcer calls is in the 1990 Rumble. When the Red Rooster gets thrown out, Ventura says “And there goes the Rooster!”, and it sounds hilarious in his growly voice.

14 points 273. Mason Ryan (262) Welsh Batista was in the 2011 Rumble as a member of the New Nexus. He eliminated the Great Khali and the returning Booker T before Cena lowbridged him out after 4:32. 272. Bubba Ray Dudley (261) Bubba made his first Rumble appearance in 2015 as a surprise entrant, as he never participated in one during his entire run in the 2000's due to the Dudley Boyz always being in other matches from 2000 through 2004. Bubba eliminated both Miz and R-Truth before getting double teamed by Luke Harper and Bray Wyatt, with the latter tossing him after 4:44 271. "Ravishing" Rick Rude (260) Accomplishments: Final Four (1990) Rude made his only Rumble appearance in 1990. He jumped the gun of his entrance to help the Barbarian beat down Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior. While Rude and Barbarian were attempting to dump Warrior, Hogan came barging in with double clothesiline on the two which caused Warrior to fall out and get eliminated. Later on Rude clotheslined Hercules out after Herc had been knocked off balance by a Mr. Perfect dropkick. That left just Rude, Perfect, and Hogan. Rude and Perfect double teamed Hogan but it ended up backfiring as Rude accidently hit Perfect and knocked him to the apron. Then after Hogan irish whipped Rude into the ropes, Perfect pulled the rope down trying to get back into the ring which caused Rude to spill out after 6:29. 270. Road Warrior Hawk (259) Hawk was in the 91 Rumble. He eliminated Jimmy Snuka and teamed with Animal to double clothesline the Undertaker out but then was knocked out immediately after by Rick Martel and Hercules after 6:37 269. "The Birdman" Koko B. Ware (258) Koko was in the 89, 90 and 93 Rumbles. 89 and 90 sucked but 93 was decent. He was in for 8:31 and helped in the elimination of Mr. Perfect before Dibiase dumped him and Terry Taylor out as they were fighting by the ropes. 268. Fandango (257) Fandango was in the 2014 and 2015 Rumbles as well the Greatest Royal Rumble Match from Saudi Arabia in 2018. He didn't much in any of his appearances. In 2014 he was in for 2:45 before getting embarrassingly eliminated by El Torito. In 2015 he was in for 7:36 before getting tossed by Rusev. In the Greatest Royal Rumble he was eliminated by Mojo Rawley in 3:42. 267. Paul Roma (256) Roma was in the 91 Rumble as part of the Power and Glory tag team with Hercules. He stayed in for 14:05 before foolishly lunging at Jake "the Snake" Roberts with a high crossbody. The Snake would just casually duck and Roma went sailing over the tope rope. 266. Karl Anderson (255) Anderson was in the 2020 and Greatest Royal Rumble matches. In GRR he was tossed by Orton in 4:25. In 2020 he managed to be one of the few to avoid the Brock burial fest and stayed in longer then most which was surprising considering there was so many guys in the match much higher on the totem pole that had "in and out" showings. Anderson was eliminated by Orton again after 9:46 which while modest on the surface was seventh highest this year as only nine guys lasted more then six minutes. 265. JTG (254) JTG was in the 09, 010, and 011 Rumbles. In 09 he got in by beating Cryme Tyme partner Shad Gaspard in a coin toss thanks to double headed coin. I don't know why they couldn't just have both of them in as Cryme Tyme was pretty over at the time but whatever. JTG would hang in longer then most would think, going just shy of 12 minutes before the Undertaker tossed him. He would once again get the nod over Gaspard to represent Cryme Tyme for the 010 Rumble. He wouldn't have as much luck this time around as Punk got rid of him in just 25 seconds. In 011 he was dropkicked out by McGillicutty in under 2 minutes. 264. Jonathan Coachman (253) Despite never being a full time wrestler, Coach was in two Royal Rumbles. In 05 he actually managed to last 13:48 by hiding and holding onto the bottom rope for dear life, which actually isn't bad strategy. 06 wouldn't be as good as Big Show got rid of him in 30 seconds. 263. Sam Houston (252) Another guy finishing surprisingly high on the countdown. Houston was in the 88 Rumble and went a surprising 14:39 before getting eliminated in a nasty fall off the shoulders of Ron Bass.

It's ashame Shad Gaspard was never in a Rumble despite JTG being in 3 of them. Strange too since he was usually booked as the stronger half of the team. Although I guess by 2010 JTG started to get booked as more of the star of the team after Gaspard picked up some heat backstage. I always find it odd when they book one member of a tag team in the match but then leave the other out. Why not just have both of them in? Or neither one? They've now even started to do it with the women too this year with Alba Fyre being part of the match but Isla Dawn being left out for some reason.

15 points 262. Bad Bunny (251) Grammy Award winning rap superstar was a surprise entrant in the 2022 Rumble. He actually ended up doing pretty well as he scored two eliminations, first putting out Sheamus after ducking the Brogue Kick and then teaming with Rey Mysterio to toss Dolph Ziggler. He was among the final five men in the ring when his luck finally ran out when #30 entrant Brock Lesnar eliminated him, along with every one else, after Bunny lasted 7:41. 261. Skull/Eli Blue (250) As Eli Blue he went for 10 minutes exactly in 95 and eliminated Sionne (The Barbarian) but ended up taking himself out in the process. He was scheduled to be in the 98 Rumble as Skull of the DOA but ended up not making it due to getting attacked backstage by Los Boriquas who mistook him for Stone Cold. 260. Tucker Knight (249) One half of the tag team Heavy Machinery, Tucker had a solid showing in the Greatest Royal Rumble match as he eliminated Drew Gulak and lasted for over 10 minutes before getting hit with the Big Ending by Big E and tossed. 259. "Big" Bronson Reed (NR) Big Bronson was in the 2024 Rumble. He eliminated Andrade and lasted 10:39 before being put by Omos. 258. Logan Paul (248) Accomplishments: Final Four (2023) Social Media star was a surprise entrant in the 2023 Rumble. Paul did surprisingly well as he shockingly eliminated Seth Rollins and was in the last three before getting tossed by Cody Rhodes after nearly 11 minutes. Also had the spot of the match when him and Ricochet had a nasty collision when both tried to springboard crossbody each other. 257. "Jumpin" Jim Brunzell (247) Brunzell was in the 88 Rumble. He lasted 12:05 and helped Jake Roberts eliminate Boris Zhukov.

16 points 256. Aleister Black (246) Black was in the 2019 and 2020 Rumbles. In 2019 he scored a surprise elimination of Dean Ambrose before getting tossed by Baron Corbin after 6:09. In 2020 he came in late at #28 and was in for a little over 5 minutes before getting eliminated by Seth Rollins after one of Seth's outside lackey's, Buddy Murphy, ran interference. 255. Ezekiel Jackson (245) Big Zeke was in the 2011 and 2012 Rumbles. In 011 he immeadiately made an impact by single handedly eliminating the Big Show. He went on to last 7:14 before getting eliminated by Kane in the finals. 012 wasn't anything special as Khali tossed him after 3:46. 254. Maven (244) Maven was in the 02 and 03 Rumbles. In 02 he scored one of the biggest upsets in the history of the Rumble when he eliminated the Undertaker with a dropkick to the back as Taker was fighting off the already eliminated Hardy Boyz. Maven would end up paying badly for it though as Undertkaker proceeded to beat him up all over the arena and ended up leaving him unable to compete. In 03 he attempted to eliminate Undertaker again with the same dropkick from behind. This time though Taker would hang on and then chokeslam Maven before tossing him after 8:19. 253. "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters (243) Masters made his Rumble debut in 2006. At the time he was getting a pretty big push and had formed a bit of an alliance with Carlito. Masters and Carlito teamed up to dump Viscera but then Carlito "accidentally" eliminated Masters immeadiately after. Masters would be back for the 07 Rumble but was eliminated in just 3:32 by Rob Van Dam. This would be his last Rumble for a few years as he was released later in the year. He returned in 2009 and participated in the 2010 Rumble but now as a face. He was eliminated in just 29 seconds after stupidly trying to put the masterlock on Big Show who easily tossed him out. In the 2011 Rumble he was eliminated in just under 2 minutes by CM Punk. 252. Eugene (242) Eugene was in the 06 Rumble. He surprisingly lasted for over 16 minutes before Benoit eliminated him. 251. Headbanger Mosh (241) Mosh was in the 98 and 2000 Rumbles. In 98 he was in for 13:09 before getting eliminated by Kurrgan. In 2000 he was eliminated by Rikishi in 3:37. He was scheduled for the 99 Rumble too but was beat up backstage by Mabel who took his spot.

17 points 250. Mil Mascaras (240) The Mexican legend was in the 97 Rumble in a one shot deal. He eliminated Cibernetico and Pierroth before eliminating himself with a dive off the top to outside on them because he apparently didn't know the rules though after reading Mick Foley's book it was probably because he was such a ego maniac that he wouldn't let anyone throw him out. 249. Jinder Mahal (239) The Modern Day Maharajah competed in the 2012, 2013, 2018, and 2019 Rumbles. In 2012 he lasted just 1:17 before getting tossed by his "brother in law" the Great Khali. In 2013 as part of 3MB, he was in for a little over 2 minutes before getting kneelifted out by Sheamus. Jinder was released by WWE in 2014 but was brought back a few years later and given quite possibly the most unexpected main event push ever as in the span of about a month he went from jobber to World Champion in May of 2017. Obviously much higher on the totem pole then he was in his previous Rumble appearances, Mahal had a much better showing in 2018 despite his ring time not going up that much. He eliminated two thirds of the New Day, putting out Xavier Woods and Big E. However Xavier and Big E then would then prevent Jinder from eliminating the third member of New Day, Kofi Kingston by keeping his second foot from hitting the floor with their hands as well as pancakes. They then catapulted Kofi back into the ring, as he went over the top of Jinder and then knocked him out of the ring with a trouble in paradise kick after 3:31. By the 2019 Rumble they had given up on him as any kind of player , demoting him back down to his old heel jobber role. Jinder's role in the 2019 Rumble reflected on how far he had fallen as the former World Champion was eliminated in just 30 seconds. 248. Rene Dupree (238) Dupree was in the 04 and 05 Rumbles. In 04 he eliminated Matt Hardy in a upset then did his French Tickler dance and was superkicked out by Rikishi in just 33 seconds. He was in much longer for 05, lasting 11:32 before he decided to do his dance again and was tossed out by Jericho. 247. MVP (237) MVP was in the 07, 09, 010, and 020 Rumbles. In 07 he was one of few to survive the onslaught of the Great Khali and was among the final 5 men in the ring before Undertaker took him out after 7:31. 09 wasn't anything special as Kozlov eliminated him in 4:02. In 010 he was attacked on his way to the ring by The Miz and had to be taken to the back. He returned later on and eliminated Miz as well as himself in only 8 seconds. In 2020 MVP made his first appearance in over nine years as a surprise entrant. He only lasted 24 seconds as he was used as fodder for Brock. like every other poor soul who entered in the first half of the match. 246. Matt Morgan (236) Morgan wasn't in the WWE for too long but he did get a spot in the 2004 Rumble. He seemed to be pretty green at the time as he looked to be pretty lost and unsure of what to do next in his time in. Nonthaless he fared pretty well, eliminating the Hurricane before straddling himself on the top rope on a missed big boot which left him easy prey for Benoit to dump out after 12:14. 245. Nikolai Volkoff (235) Nikolai was in the first Rumble in 88. He was in for 11+ minutes and eliminated Jim Brunzell. He also was in the 92 Rumble for the vacant WWF Title as an alternate for the "injured" Marty Jannetty. Volkoff was eliminated by Repo Man in just a little over a minute. 244. Otis (234) Otis was in the Rumble from 2021 through 2023. 2021 was a weak showing as he had fallen down the card quick by Rumble time after seeming like someone who could be a breakout star throughout most of 2020. He was dumped by King Corbin in just 53 seconds which was the shortest time that year. By 2022 he had rebounded after turning heel and forming a successful partnership with Chad Gable that would lead to the duo becoming Tag Team Champions shortly before the Rumble. Otis had a much better showing then the year before as he lasted almost 9 minutes and eliminated Rey Mysterio before getting double teamed out by RK Bro. In 2023 he was again eliminated via double team, this time by Sheamus and McIntyre in about 3 minutes. 243. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock (233) The World's Most Dangerous Man was in the 98 and 99 Rumbles. In 98 he had been screwed over by the Rock in the two's IC title match earlier in the night. He returned for the Rumble match and led the charge in the group elimination of Kurrgan before Rock would get the better of again by low blowing him and tossing him. In 99 he was eliminated by Stone Cold. His total time for two Rumbles is a disappointing 14:05. 242. "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman (232) Blackman competed in the Rumble match from 98 through 01. He didn't really do much in any of them. His total time is 17:25. 241. Crash Holly (231) Crash was in the 2000 and 2001 Rumbles. In 2000 he was surprisingly in for nearly 15 minutes before Rock DDTed him and tossed him. 2001 wasn't as good as the Brother of Destruction teamed up and cleared the ring not long after he entered. 240. "Dangerous" Danny Davis (230) The corrupt former referee was in the 88 Rumble. He surprisingly lasted for nearly 18 minutes although Vince McMahon on commentary stated that the other guys probably just kept him in to beat him up some more. He was eliminated by eventual winner "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan after a 3 point stance clothesline in a nice elimination.

18 points 239. Vladamir Kozlov (229) The Moscow Mauler was in the 09 and 011 Rumbles. In 09 he was in the midst of his monster heel push on Smackdown where he was undefeated for almost a year. Kozlov single handedly eliminated the Great Khali before taking out MVP and Carlito as well. His dominance would be short lived though as Triple H came in next and tossed him without too much trouble after stunning him with a facebuster after 2:40. In 011 he was in a comedy face role, a big difference from his serious heel character from a couple years before. Unfortunately for Kozlov he entered with just the Nexus in the ring and was beat down and eliminated in just 40 seconds. 238. Trish Stratus (228) Former seven time Women's Champion was a surprise entrant in the first Women's Rumble in 2018, drawing #30. Trish took part in the group elimination of Nia Jax and also put out Natalya and former rival Mickie James before getting eliminated by Sasha Banks after 5:20. 237. Mr. Kennedy (227) Kennedy made his lone Rumble appearance in 2008. In the most shocking elimination of the night, he eliminated Shawn Michaels just a few seconds after Michaels had eliminated the Undertaker. Later on Kennedy would end up on the receiving end of Umaga's samoan spike. He never really recovered from this and ended up getting eliminated by Batista after 13:32. 236. Shane McMahon (226) Accomplishments: Final Four (2022) Shane O' Mac was in Greatest Royal Rumble match. Shane was in for 8:07 before getting eliminated by Braun Strowman. He made a surprise appearance in the 2022 Rumble. Shane eliminated Kevin Owens and was in the finals before getting tossed by Brock after 5:38. 235. Damien Sandow (225) Sandow was in the 2013, 2014, and 2015 Rumbles. 2013 was a solid showing as he was in for 16:26 before getting clotheslined out by Ryback in the finals. In 2014 he was the first man eliminated after getting backdropped out by CM Punk in 2:08. In 2015 as the Miz's stunt double, Damien Mizdow, he was only in for 18 seconds before getting tossed by Rusev.

19 points 234. Arn Anderson (224) The Enforcer was in the 89 Rumble as a member of the Brainbusters with Tully Blanchard. Arn assisted in the eliminations of Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, and Tito Santana before both him Blanchard were eliminated by Hulk Hogan after Anderson had been in for 10 minutes exactly. 233. Kayden Carter (NR) Kayden had a good showing in the 2024 Women's Rumble, eliminating Kairi Sane and teaming with her partner Katana Chance to toss Asuka before getting thrown out by Piper Niven after 11:48. 232. The Berzerker (223) For a guy whose specialty was throwing people over the top rope, the Berzerker didn't really do as much in Rumbles as he should have. He was in the 92 and 93 editions. In 92 he was backdropped out by Hogan in 9 minutes exactly. In 93 he was in for 5:21 and eliminated Virgil (off camera) before Undertaker took him out. 231. Molly Holly (222) Former early 2000's Women's Champion made one shot appearances in the 2018, 2020, and 2022 Women's Rumbles. In 2018 she was pretty impressive in her short time in the ring, tossing Sarah Logan and even hitting her Molly Go Round finisher on Sasha Banks before getting tossed by Michelle McCool after 3:48. In 2020 as Mighty Molly she managed to stay in for over 10 minutes before getting dumped by Bianca Belair. In 2022 she was Mighty Molly again but got jumped in the aisle way and assaulted by new super hero character, Nikki A.S.H, who then tossed her in short order after just 20 seconds. 230. Jordyanne Grace (NR) Jordyanne was the TNA representative in this years Women's Rumble. She lasted for over 19 minutes before getting eliminated by Bianca Belair. 229. Orlando Jordan (221) Jordan was in the 05 and 06 Rumbles. He was only in for 3:36 in 05 before Booker T eliminated him. 06 was a better showing as he was in for 16:09 before Orton backdropped him out.

20 points 228. Kurrgan (220) Kurrgan was in the 98 and 99 Rumbles. In 98 he was getting the monster heel push. He eliminated Headbanger Mosh and Steve Blackman before Ken Shamrock entered and knocked him down with a spin kick, which was the first time that the big man had been knocked off his feet. A bunch of people then ganged up on him and dumped him after 3:38. Like Vladamir Kozlov, after his heel push failed he was turned into a comedy face. In 99 as member of the Oddities he was in for 6:54 before Kane eliminated him. 227. "The Ravishing Russian" Lana (219) Lana was in the 2018, 2020, and 2021 Rumbles. In 2018 she was eliminated by Michelle McCool after 2:33. She was came out at #28 for the 2019 Rumble but had to be replaced by Becky Lynch after suffering a leg injury accompanying her husband Rusev for her match against Nakamura on the Pre Show, and then getting injured even more in the aisle by #29 entrant Nia Jax who decided to beat her up just to be mean. Lana would make it to the 2020 Rumble, lasting for 2:29 before getting eliminated by her former lesbian lover, Liv Morgan. Lana however would get the last laugh as she would then pull Liv off the top rope to eliminate her too. Lana was the surprise showing in the 2021 Women's Rumble, scoring an upset elimination of Nia Jax to get some measure of revenge on Jax for putting her through the announce table on Raw on multiple occasions and making the last 5 before stupidly trusting Natalya and getting tossed at 9:58. 226. "The Portuguese Man O' War" Aldo Montoya (218) Aldo was in the 95 and 96 Rumbles. He had a solid showing in the 95 Rumble lasting 13:21 and eliminating Steven Dunn. 96 wasn't nearly as good as he was eliminated by Tatanka in under 2 minutes. 225. Alicia Fox (217) Competed in the 2019, 2021, and 2022 Rumbles. She was also supposed to be in 2018 but was pulled due to injury. In 2019 she eliminated Maria before getting tossed by Ruby Riott after getting pulled of the ring and assaulted by the other members of the Riott Squad who had returned to ringside with Ruby after being eliminated earlier in the match. Alicia would quietly retire from full time competition a few months later but was brought back as a legends entrant for 2021 to help make up the numbers. Shortly after entering the 24/7 championship brigade would enter leading to her actually winning the title after pinning R-Truth. Alica would then go at it with the following entrant, Mandy Rose, which would not go well for Fox as Mandy got the better of her and easily tossed after just 1:48. Then to make matters worse for Alicia, she would then lose the 24/7 title right back to R-Truth who then pinned her on the outside. She was back again in 2022 for another one off appearance. She lasted for 6:30 before getting betrayed and eliminated by former allies, the Bellas. 224. "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner (216) Competed in the 94 and 04 Rumbles. In 94 after drawing #1, he eliminated Samu and was in for 9 minutes even before becoming one of Diesel's victims. The Steiners left the federation a couple months later to return to WCW where Scott woiuld eventually develop his Big Poppa Pump persona. After the buyout of WCW Scott eventually returned to the WWE in late 02 and would have his infamous match with Triple H at the 2003 Royal Rumble. Steiner was in the actual Rumble match for 2004 though. Steiner really didn't too much in what ended up being his last appearance for the company. He was in for 6:49 before getting eliminated by long time nemesis Booker T.

223. Gene Snitsky-21 points (214) Snitsky was in the 05 and 08 Rumbles. In 05 he brutally eliminated Paul London before Batista clotheslined him out after 3:38. In 08 he was eliminated by Undertaker after 12:26. 222. Carmelo Hayes-22 points (NR) Melo did well in the 2024 Rumble as he eliminated Grayson Waller and lasted over 17 minutes. 221. Big Cass-22 points (213) Accomplishments: Greatest Royal Rumble Runner-Up Seven footer drew #1 in in the 2017 Rumble. Lasted for 9:57 before missing a big boot and straddling himself on the top rope, leaving him easy pickings for Braun Strowman who then knocked him over and out. Cass would have a better showing in the Greatest Royal Rumble. He eliminated his rival at the time Daniel Bryan who had broke the endurance record by lasting for a hour and change, and finished runner-up in the match to Braun Strowman. 220. Chelsea Green-22 points (344) Chelsea competed in three Rumbles. In 2020 she quickly dumped out Dakota Kai but then was dumped out herself immediately afterwards by Alexa Bliss after just 12 seconds. After a few years out of her company she made her return in 2023 doing a comedy heel Karen gimmick. She ended up breaking the record for shortest time in a Women's Rumble match when Rhea Ripley tossed her in five seconds. In 2024 she lasted over 17 minutes although she spent all of it being pummeled and repeatedly squashed by both Nia Jax and her own tag team partner, Piper Niven. 219. Santino Marella-22 points (212) Accomplishments: 2011 Runner-Up Santino was in the 08, 09, 011, 012, and 013 Rumbles. In 08 he entered at #3 with the Undertaker and Shawn Michaels in the ring. He was nailed by Michaels sweet chin music and then was tossed by Taker after just 25 seconds. In 09 he broke the Warlord's 20 year long record as he was eliminated by Kane in 1 second. He was scheduled for the Rumble yet again for 2010 but was pulled less then a week before due to an injury angle on the Raw before the PPV where he was roughed up by Jack Swagger, who Santino was in a mini feud with at the time due to him embarrassing Swagger by beating him in his own All American American over the top rope challenge. I really don't know what the reasoning for this was although I guess it could have been done to make room for the returning Edge. Santino would make it to the 2011 Rumble and shockingly would finish runner up. He's credited with a time of 12:54 although he spent almost all of it, with the exception of about a minute or so, knocked out outside the ring after getting hit with a Sheamus brogue kick that knocked him under the bottom rope. After Alberto Del Rio had seemingly won the match, Santino reappeared and struck Del Rio with the cobra. He took too much time celebrating though before his attempt to eliminate him, which allowed Del Rio to turn the tables on him and dump him out to win the match for real. In 2012 Santino lasted 2:31 and actually eliminated someone, as he tossed out Ricardo Rodriguez. He fell back to earth in 013 as he was eliminated first by Cody Rhodes in just 40 seconds. In 2020 in a return nobody wanted to see he appeared in the Women's Rumble as Santina Marella, his "twin sister" character that he briefly used in 2009. Santina only lasted one minute before eliminating "herself" to avoid Beth Phoenix and Natalya. 218. Ridge Holland-22 points (211) Protege of Sheamus did well in the 2022 Rumble as he assisted in the group elimination of Omos and lasted over 19 minutes before getting eliminated by AJ Styles. Adding insult to injury he was dumped out right as Sheamus was about to enter the match. 217. Mo-22 points (210) Mo was in the 94 and 95 Rumbles. He did surprisingly well in 94, lasting for over 22 minutes. In 95 he wouldn't have nowhere near as much luck as he was eliminated by King Kong Bundy in only 4 seconds. 216. Aliyah-22 points (209) Young upstart did well in the 2022 Women's Rumble as she was the recipient of the plucky rookie babyface who lasts way longer then you would expect push (seen previously with 1991 Shane Douglas, 2008 Cody Rhodes, and 2013 Bo Dallas). She lasted for 22:50 before getting big booted and tossed by Charlotte. 215. Jerry Sags-22 points (208) Sags was in the 92 and 93 Rumbles. Despite his Nasty Boy partner Brian Knobbs being in the Rumble, Sags was left out for some reason in 91. He wrestled in the dark match that year instead. In 92 it was Knobbs who was left out due to injury with Sags competing. Sags only lasted a little over a minute before Bulldog eliminated him with a dropkick as he was standing on the apron. 93 was a good showing as he lasted nearly 22 minutes before getting knocked out by a Owen Hart dropkick.

214. Dino Bravo-23 points (207) Accomplishments: Final Four (1988) The Canadian Strongman was in the 88, 90, and 91 Rumbles. In 88 he teamed with the One Man Gang to eliminate the Ultimate Warrior and Don Muraco and was among the final 3 before Gang accidentally eliminated him with a clothesline. In 90 he was in for a little over 6 minutes before Warrior backdropped him out. In 91 he was in for just a little over 3 minutes before getting dumped by former partner Greg Valentine. 213. Marty Jannetty-23 points (206) Jannetty was in a handful of Rumble matches during his career. He made his Rumble debut in 89 as a member of the Rockers with Shawn Michaels. This was his best showing of his Rumble appearances as was in for 7:52 and teamed with Michaels to eliminate Ron Bass. 90 sucked as he was eliminated by Dibiase in under 2 minutes. Jannetty was scheduled for 92 Rumble for the vacant WWF Title. He ended up not making it though as a couple of weeks before the event he would have a bad falling out with Michaels who turned on him and attacked him. Jannetty suffered a numerous amount of injuries because of this attack and as a result was unable to compete. Jannetty was released shortly after due a altercation he was involved in at a nightclub but was rehired in the fall of that year. He resumed his feud with Michaels who had by that point won the IC Title. The two former partners would face each other at the 93 Rumble for the title with Michaels coming out victorious. Jannetty was part of the Rumble match for 94 and would immediately go after Michaels as soon as he hit the ring. Michaels however once again got the better of him, dumping him after 8:18. He was fired again shortly after but returned in late 95, just in time for the 96 Rumble. He went at it with Michaels again before Bulldog eliminated him in just 2:35. 212. Sarah Logan/Valhalia-23 points (205) Riott Squad bruiser was in the Women's Rumbles from 2018 through 2020 as well as 2022 and 2024. In 2018 she had a surprisingly lengthier stay, lasting for over 16 minutes before getting unceremoniously heaved out by Molly Holly. In 2019 she was in for 5:38 before falling victim to Kairi Sane's top rope elbow drop and then getting dumped in a double team from Sane and Natalya in which she was dumped off the latter's shoulders and spilled over the top and down to the floor. 2020 was a weak showing as Charlotte big booted her out in just 28 seconds. She was released a few months later but made a surprise one off appearance in 2022, coming to the aid of former Riott Squad partner, Liv Morgan, who was being ganged up on by the Bellas. The reunion would be short lived though as the Bellas would just end up eliminating both of them with Logan only last 43 seconds. By 2024 she was back full time as Valhalia of the Viking Raiders. She would continue her run of quick exits as she was eliminated by Nia Jax in just five seconds which tied the record for shortest elimination in Women's Rumble history. 213. Ivy Nile-23 points (NR) Ivy had a good showing in her first Rumble in 2024, lasting for over 23 minutes. 212. Marc Mero-23 points (204) Mero was in the 97 and 98 Rumbles. In 97 as the "Wildman" he was in for just 3:53 before both him and Owen Hart were dumped by Stone Cold as they were tussling in the corner. In 98 as "Marvelous" Marc he was in for nearly 20 minutes before becoming Stone Cold's first victim. 213. Chuck Palumbo-24 points (202) Palumbo was in the 02 and 08 Rumbles. In 02 was in for over 9 minutes and teamed with Christian to eliminate Albert and the Godfather before Austin eliminated him. In 08 he was doing a biker gimmick and was feuding with Jamie Noble. He eliminated Noble but then was out maneuvered and put out by CM Punk in 4 minutes.

208. Bron Breakker-25 Points (NR) Accomplishments: Most Eliminations (2024) NXT blue chipper was very impressive in the 2024 Rumble, eliminating four men (Jimmy Uso, Finn Balor, Ivar, Omos) in just a little over 5 minutes of ring time before getting dumped from behind by Dom Mysterio. 207. Mojo Rawley-25 points (201) Mojo was in the 2017 Rumble, staying in for 6:16 before becoming Braun Strowman's first victim. He had a solid showing in the Greatest Royal Rumble, putting out both members of the Fashion Police before getting eliminated by Orton after 8:52. 206. Billie Kay-25 points (200) Competed in the 2019 Women's Royal Rumble as part of the IIconics with her pal Peyton Royce. After entering Kay refused to get in the ring, instead waiting outside until Peyton came out a few spots later so they could enter the ring together. Even though they eliminated Nikki Cross their strategy ended up not really benefitting them that much as both IIconics would end up getting eliminated without much trouble after getting simultaneously dropkicked off the apron by Lacey Evans. She was also in the 2021 match, refusing to enter the ring again, instead alternating between going to commentary and unsuccessfully attempting to recruit subsequent entrants to help her out. Eventually she would get a taker in Jillian Hall as the two would team up and enter together. Billie would eventually turn on Hall and eliminate her after Jillian started attacking the Riott Squad, whom Billie had been trying to join. The Riott's would show their gratitude by then dumping Billie out after 8:11. 205. David Otunga-25 points (199) Otunga was in the Rumble from 2011 through 2013. In 2011 he was a member of New Nexus. He was in for 11+ minutes and assisted his teammates in eliminating John Morrison and Mark Henry before Cena eliminated him along with everybody else in the group. In 2012 he only lasted a little over 3 minutes before Jericho easily tossed him out. In 2013 he was brogue kicked out by Sheamus in 4:24. 204. Apollo Crews-25 points (198) Apollo competed in the 2017, 2018, 2019, and Greatest Royal Rumble matches. Other then getting one elimination in the GRR none of his showings were really much to write home about, lasting only around 5 minutes in all of them while not really doing much.

So now winning a Rumble does NOT guarantee someone a Top 200 spot.

203. Jade Cargill-26 points (NR) Accomplishments: Final Four (2024) Jade made her WWE debut in this years Women's Rumble and would impress right away by lifting Nia Jax and bodyslamming her the top rope. Jade would also eliminate Becky Lynch and Naomi and make the last three before being eliminated by Liv Morgan. 202. Brian Knobbs-26 points (197) Accomplishments: Final Four (1991) Knobbs was in the 91 and 93 Rumbles. He was supposed to be in 92 too but missed it due to injury. In 91 he was a substitute for the Honky Tonk Man who had left the company just prior to the show. Knobbs had a good showing as he eliminated Shane Douglas and Hercules and also helped Earthquake eliminate British Bulldog. He was among the final 3 with Quake and Hulk Hogan. Knobbs and Quake, both managed by Jimmy Hart, double teamed Hogan until Hogan Hulked Up and knocked Knobbs out of the ring with a big boot in a nicely done elimination. In 93 he was in for only a little under 3 minutes before Dibiase lowbridged him out. 201. Gangrel-26 points (196) Gangrel was in the 99 and 2000 Rumbles. In 99 he was eliminated by Road Dogg in just 26 seconds. In 2000 though he had one of the longer times, lasting for over 23 minutes. He also took part in the group elimination of Rikishi. 200. Shane Douglas-26 points (194) Douglas was the surprise showing of the 91 Rumble as he lasted for an impressive 26+ minutes. It seemed like they had some plans for him as Piper and Monsoon put him over a lot on commentary but nothing really ever came of it and he was out of the company by the summer. 199. Bad News Brown-27 points (192) A street fighter from Harlem with a loner mentality, Bad News was tailor made for the Royal Rumble. He competed in the match in 89 and 90. 89 was a good showing for him as he was in for over 16 minutes and eliminated Bushwhacker Butch. 90 wasn't as good as Piper backdropped him out after a little over 6 minutes. Bad News then pulled Piper out from the outside to eliminate him too with the two then brawling to the back. This kickstarted the two's lame feud that ended with a double count out at Wrestlemania that year. 198. "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes-28 points (191) Dusty made his lone Rumble appearance in 1990. He had one of the stronger performances in that match eliminating rival Randy Savage in a mild upset, as well as Bret Hart before Earthquake eliminated him after 18+ minutes. 197. Bo Dallas-28 points (190) Bo was the surprise showing of the 2013 Rumble. Qualifying by winning a eight man NXT tournament the day before the PPV at the Royal Rumble fanfest, Dallas lasted for over 21 minutes and scored an upset elimination of Wade Barrett. Unfortunately for Dallas, Barrett pulled him over the top rope from the outside and then knocked him out with the bull hammer elbow. This set up a very short lived feud that was quickly dropped most likely due to the fact that Dallas was clearly not ready, as he was sent back down to NXT after not even a month on the main roster. Dallas was called back up to the roster a little over a year later using a heel motivational speaker gimmick. Unfortunately he never made a Rumble appearance with this persona. Bo was in the Greatest Royal Rumble match as one of Miz's Miztourage lackies along with Curtis Axel. Bo was tossed by Kurt Angle in just 1:34. 196. Chad Gable (189)-28 points Gable made first Rumble apperance in the Greatest Royal Rumble match, getting tossed by Apollo Crews in 8:17. He wasn't part of another until 2022 as one half of Alpha Academy. When he entered Omos was dominating so Gable rallied the troops and formulated a strategy to get rid of the big man. Surprisingly his strategy would turn out to be extremely effective as he used Damien Priest as a sacrifice and then after Omos was finished tossing him, he and the rest of the guys rushed the giant and were able to dump him out in a group effort. Gable would go on to last 8:18 before getting eliminated by Rick Boogs. This year he lasted 8:42 before getting eliminated by Brock Lesnar. 195. Headbanger Thrasher-28 points (188) Thrasher was in the 98 Rumble. He was one of many lower card wrestlers (Bradshaw, 8-Ball, Phinneas Godwinn etc.) that lasted a long time for some reason that year. He was in for over 28 minutes before Austin eliminated him. He was scheduled for the 2000 Rumble but was replaced by Bob Backlund. I don't know if he was legitimately injured or if they just wanted Backlund in there instead. They did a segment on the Sunday Night Heat countdown show to write him out of the match as the Headbangers were attacked by Kaientai and the Mean Street Posse when they were drawing their numbers. Mosh still ended up making the match. Thrasher wasn't as lucky.

194. Omos-29 points (215) 7'3" giant was in the last three Rumbles. In 2022 he eliminated both Street Profits and Damien Priest before a coalition of six men ganged up on him and dumped him after 4:24. By this year the monster push was over as Braun Strowman had returned to the company and retook his spot as the dominant giant in the promotion with Omos being deemphasized. Omos eliminated no one before getting taken out by Strowman in just 2:26. In 2024 he eliminated Bronson Reed before being bested by Bron Breakker who dumped him in 2:43. 193. Robert Roode-29 points (187) The Glorious one had a good showing in the Greatest Royal Rumble, eliminating Scott Dawson and Goldust and staying in for 17:44. Roode was also in the 2020 and 2022 Rumbles but fared poorly in both, not even lasting a minute in either. In 2020 he was eliminated by Brock in 41 seconds and in 2022 he was eliminated first by AJ Styles in 54 seconds. 192. Chavo Guerrero-29 points (186) Chavo was in the 03, 06, 07, 08, and 011 Rumbles. 08 was his best showing as he went for 7:33 and eliminated rival CM Punk, which was his only elimination in his five appearances. 191. X-Pac/1-2-3 Kid-29 points (185) Accomplishments: Final Four (2000) Competed in the the 96, 99 and 2000 Rumbles. He was supposed to in 94 too but missed it due to injury. In 96 as 1-2-3 Kid he was in for over 15 minutes before Shawn Michaels press slammed him out. In 99 as X-Pac he was in for 5:44 before Bossman tossed him. In 2000 he was basically given #30 on a silver platter thanks to his association with Triple H and Stephanie McMahon Helmsley who were in charge of the company at the time. X-Pac got tossed by the Rock and took a nasty bump as he did a flip over the top and landed flat on his back on the floor. Fortunately for him though the referees were busy trying to break up the New Age Outlaws and Kane who the Outlaws had pulled under the bottom rope after they had been eliminated, which allowed him to sneak back in. He managed to eliminate Kane with a spin kick then did his bronco buster on Big Show. All this did was piss Show off though, as he then proceeded to press slam X-Pac out to officially eliminate him. 190. Honky Tonk Man-29 points (183) Honky Tonk was in the Rumble in 89 and 90 as well as 98 and 01 in surprise appearances. He was supposed to be in 91 too but left the company shortly before the event. His runs in 89 and 90 weren't anything special as he was only in for about 4 minutes in both. Oddly he had his best run in 98 when he was way past his prime. As an alternate for the injured Triple H, Honky somehow lasted for nearly 20 minutes before Vader tossed him. In 01 he entered with just Kane in the ring. Honky would then sing his theme song before Kane hit him in the head with his own guitar and tossed him in a little over a minute.

189. Lita-30 points (182) Popular attitude era star was a surprise entrant in the 2018 Women's Rumble. She eliminated Mandy Rose and Tamina, but after eliminating the latter was dumped out from behind by Becky Lynch after 5:28. She was back for the 2022 Rumble. Lita eliminated Mickie James and lasted for over 10:21 before Charlotte pushed her off the top rope as she was attempting to do her signature moonsault. 188. Peyton Royce-30 points (181) Royce competed in the 2019 Women's Rumble as one half of the IIconics tag team. The IIconics teamed up to eliminate Nikki Cross before both were eliminated simultaneously by Lacey Evans after Peyton had been in for 8:38. In 2021, now going it alone as a singles star, she had a solid showing as she eliminated Liv Morgan and lasted close to 14 minutes before getting pulled over the top rope backwards from the apron by Charlotte. 187. Virgil-30 points (180) The Wrestling Superstar was in the Rumble from 92 through 94. In 92 he was in for 7:29 before going out with Jim Duggan in a double elimination spot. In 93 he lasted 17:08 before getting eliminated off camera by the Berzerker. In 94 he was an alternate for Kamala. Entering with just Diesel in the ring, Virgil busted his lip with a stiff punch to the face, pissing him off in the process. Diesel then proceeded to give him Virgil some really stiff shoot forearms to the face before tossing him out after just 32 seconds. 186. Demolition Ax-30 points (179) Ax was in the 89 and 90 Rumbles. In 89 he drew #1 with his partner Smash drawing #2. The two held nothing back as the proceeded to beat the crap out of each other for two minutes before deciding to team up against Andre the Giant who came out as #3. Ax stayed in for 14+ minutes before getting backdropped out by Mr. Perfect. 90 was another solid outing as he teamed up with Smash to take Andre out to a big pop, before Earthquake lifted him out after nearly 13 minutes. 185. Toni Storm-30 points (178) Toni Time had a solid showing the 2020 Women's Rumble, staying in for over 18 minutes and making the finals before becoming of the many victims of Shayna Baszler. In 2021 she was eliminated by Rhea Ripley after 11:21. 184. Genichiro Tenryu-30 points (177) Competed in the 93 and 94 Rumbles, both one shot deals. In 93 he was eliminated by Undertaker after 13:17. In 94 he was one of Mr. Fuji's hired guns to take out Lex Luger. Tenryu was in for over 17 minutes and was in the last 5 before getting double teamed out by Luger and Bret Hart.
