Are you ranking all wrestlers for the total amount of rumbles they were in? It's explained in the original post. Wrestlers are ranked on a point system based on Rumble wins, how much time they lasted, and eliminations scored in every Rumble they were in. It's always interesting to see some being in multiple Rumbles (at least 5) with very little ring time or even eliminations. Then coming later we will see some who only been in a handful of Rumbles and had 60+minute ring times and 10+ eliminations.

183. Sid Justice-31 points (176) Accomplishments: Most Eliminations (1992), 1992 Runner-Up Sid made his only Rumble appearance in the 92 edition for the World Title. He really made it count though with six eliminations (two assisted). It was a comeback match for him as he had been out for a few months with a torn bicep. Coming in late at #29, Sid quickly began to dominate the competition. He eliminated Slaughter, Warlord in a double team effort with Hogan, Piper and Martel at the same time as they were fighting on the ropes, and Savage with some inadvertent help from Ric Flair. It ended coming down to Sid, Flair, and Hogan. In a shocker Sid then tossed Hogan out. Hogan, the number one babyface in the company and supposed nice guy, threw a fit about it despite being eliminated fair and square. Hogan grabbed Sid's arm and started pulling him out from the outside while Flair dumped him out from behind to win the match. Somehow Sid was turned heel out of this. 182. "The Rock" Don Muraco-31 points (175) Accomplishments: Final Four (1988) The original Rock, Muraco was in the first Rumble in 88. He had one of the stronger performances in the match as he eliminated Harley Race, Bret Hart, and Ron Bass while also making it to the final 4. Muraco was eliminated by One Man Gang and Dino Bravo when Bravo held him and Gang clotheslined him in what was probably the only time I've seen that spot work. 181. Bushwhacker Butch-31 points (173) Butch definitely had a lot more success in Rumbles then his partner Luke. He had a surprisingly good showing in the 89 Rumble as he was in for over 18 minutes and helped Tito Santana eliminate the Honky Tonk Man. In 91 he was in for 10:07 before getting tossed by the Undertaker. Bushwhackers wouldn't be in another Rumble until 95. Both had real short stays that year with Butch only lasting 19 seconds. 180. Curtis Axel/Michael McGillicutty-32 points (171) Claimed by many to be the uncrowned 2015 Royal Rumble champion, the Axe Man was in four Rumbles. As New Nexus member Michael McGillicutty he had a good showing in the 2011 Rumble as he eliminated JTG and also helped his Nexus teammates eliminating Ted Dibiase, John Morrison, and Mark Henry. He was in for over 15 minutes before Cena took both him and David Otunga out with a double clothesline. He was in the 2015 Rumble as Curtis Axel but never even made it to the ring as Erick Rowan attacked from behind during his entrance, leaving him unable to compete. This actually led to a pretty entertaining and funny gimmick for the up until that point super bland Axel, as he would claim that he was never eliminated and that he was the real winner of the Rumble. He also started using a pretty cool catchphrase in "often duplicated, never eliminated". Axel was in the Rumble again in 2016 and actually managed to actually make it to the ring. Despite having all of his Social Outcast buddies at ringside, Axel wouldn't last long. Reigns and AJ Styles fought off all of the other Social Outcasts before Styles clotheslined Axel out after only 1:15. In the Greatest Royal Rumble he was eliminated by Mark Henry in just 2 minutes. 179. "Outlaw" Ron Bass-32 points (170) Bass was in the 88 and 89 Rumbles. He had one of the stronger showings in 88, going for 10:14 while eliminating Sam Houson and the Junkyard Dog. He showed up for the 89 Rumble with a shaved head thanks to Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake. Bass lasted for 12:36 before getting knocked out by a double dropkick from the Rockers. 178. Heath Slater-32 points (168) The One Man Band competed in four Rumble matches. In 2011 he fell victim to the Cena/Hornswoggle partnership, getting tossed by Cena in under a minute after taking the tadpole splash. He had a surprisingly solid showing in 2013 though, assisting in the group elimination of Brodus Clay and lasting for nearly 16 minutes before getting tossed by Cena again. In 2018 he was attacked before he could even reach the ring by an enraged Baron Corbin who had just been eliminated moments before. This would lead to a running gag where every incoming entrant would attack Slater on their way to the ring. Sheamus would eventually throw Slater into the ring but Slater would then shockingly clothesline him out to eliminate him. Unfortunately for Slater he was then tossed right afterwards by Bray Wyatt. In the Greatest Royal Rumble he was eliminated by Braun in 7:37 177. Titus O'Neil-32 points (167) Titus has competed in six Rumbles. He was eliminated by Sheamus after 7:30 in 2013. In 2015 he was eliminated by Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose in just 4 seconds. He was supposed to actually tie Santino's record and go out in one second but botched going over the top on the initial double clothesline. 2016 was much better as he was in for 8:55 and eliminated Goldust. In 2018 he was tossed by Reigns after a little under 6 minutes. He inadvertently had a memorable moment at the Greatest Royal Rumble when he clumsily tripped running to the ring and did a big slide all the way under the ring. Titus ended up lasing for 4:42 before getting tossed by Braun. He was back again for the 2019 Rumble even though it really seemed the only reason he was put in the match was to play off his goof the year before as he had hardly been on TV for months. Titus stopped himself from tripping but ended up going under the ring anyways to go after Curt Hawkins who was hiding under there. Hawkins ended up outsmarting him and eliminating in just 5 seconds after sidestepping him on a charge and tossing him out. 176. Joey Mercury-32 points (166) Mercury was in the 06 Rumble as a member of the MNM tag team with Johnny Nitro. He lasted an impressive 29:14 and helped Nitro eliminate Tatanka while making it to the finals. There MNM would try to double team Shawn Michaels out but it ended up backfiring as both members of the team were eliminated with Mercury getting knocked out of the ring by Nitro on accident. 175. Mike Knox-32 points (165) "Monstrous" Mike Knox fought in the 09 Rumble. He was in the midst of his epic two month push at the time where he was feuding with Rey Mysterio due to the fact that he kept attacking Rey all the time for no reason. Knox lasted for a surprising 32:41 although he really didn't do much of note in his time in before getting dumped in a heap with Mysterio by Big Show.

Be interesting to see who the highest one time Rumbler is.. off the top of my head, I imagine Bam Bam Bigelow must be a contender. He had a pretty strong 94 Rumble with it being his only one.

After the last post from darthobiwan I was thinking who had the most points in just one appearance. Bigelow in 94 was the first that popped into my head but then I remembered you know who as he still has a high total even after I added the 20 point deduction for insane time spent outside the ring.
Until he finally started to appear in a few more the last couple of years, Balor ranked really high for his 2018 where IIRC he lasted close to an hour with I want to say three eliminations. And as mentioned last year Gunther was really high for just one appearance with the insane push he got (75 minutes with five or six eliminations). They have so many people go an hour these days (too many imo) that it leads to a lot of big jumps since that's 60 points and then you factor they also all have at least a few eliminations on top of that.

Gunter would have had to be "best 1 time performer" until this year. On the bright side since he was again in for about 30 minutes this year with eliminations, I would imagine he have another big jump in the rating. And I agree that while I do enjoy seeing people from 1-5 going the distance (and winning at times), it does cheapen it when too many are constantly doing every year. Now numbers 1-3 have had 9 winners, which may be more than numbers 28-30 combined.

It's ok to have someone get #1 or #2 and make it to the end every once in a while but when it's happening every year it takes away from the impressiveness of it where it now no longer feels like a big accomplishment. It also makes no sense when the people drawing #1 and #2 are outlasting people who draw numbers in the 20's which are supposedly the "favorable" positions.

174. Raquel Rodriguez-33 points (164) Raquel had a strong showing in 2023 as she lasted for over 20 minutes while eliminating Lacey Evans and Piper Niven and assisting in the group elimination of Nia Jax. 173. "Texas Tornado" Kerry Von Erich-33 points (163) Competed in the 91 and 92 Rumbles. 91 was a good showing as he was in for 24+ minutes before Undertaker backdropped him out after ducking his Tornado Punch. In 92 he was in for 9:20 before getting eliminated by Ric Flair, the same man he had defeated to win his only World Title (NWA) 8 years earlier. 172. Faarooq-34 points (162) Accomplishments: Final Four (1998) Faarooq was in the 97, 98, 2000, 01 and 02 Rumbles. Other then 98 all of his other runs were crap showings of about a minute or less. In 97 he eliminated Latin Lover but then Ahmed Johnson, who had eliminated himself earlier to go after Faarooq in the aisle, returned and knocked him out of the ring with a giant 2x4. 98 was his best showing by far. That year he eliminated his own Nation of Domination stabemates D'Lo Brown and Mark Henry as well as Dude Love. He was in the last 3 with Stone Cold and another stablemate of his the Rock. As Faarooq was trying to get Austin out, he was dumped from behind by Rock. In 2000 he was only in for 18 seconds as he was attacked during his entrance by the Mean Street Posse, who the APA were feuding with for reasons I don't remember or really care about, before getting dumped by Bossman. In 2001 he was double teamed out by the Hardyz in about a minute. In 2002 he was eliminated by Triple H in just 36 seconds. 171. 8-Ball/Jacob Blue-34 points (161) Competed in the 95 and 98 Rumbles. In 95 as Jacob Blue he was eliminated in just 17 seconds by Shawn Michaels. In 98 though as DOA member 8-Ball, he lasted an impressive 30:43 and helped in the group elimination of Kurrgan. 170. Goldberg-35 points (160) Competed in the 2004 and 2017 Rumbles. He earned the #30 spot in 2004 by winning a mini battle royal on a Raw leading up to the show. Goldberg came in like a house of fire, eliminating Charlie Haas, Billy Gunn, and Nunzio. He was then preparing to give Big Show the jackhammer before Brock Lesnar, who wasn't even in the match, ran in and gave him a F5. When Goldberg got up he was eliminated by Kurt Angle in just 2:07. This would lead to a match between Goldberg and Lesnar at WrestleMania XX. Goldberg was victorious in what would end up being his last match for over 12 years, as he retired immediately afterwards. In 2016 Goldberg would come out of retirement to face Lesnar at Survivor Series, after being prodded to by Lesnar and his manager Paul Heyman who wanted to make up for Lesnar's embarrassing loss 12 years before. In one of the biggest upsets in WWE history, the almost 50 year old Goldberg shocked the world when he not only defeated Lesnar but squashed him in just one minute and 26 seconds. Afterwards both men quickly declared entry for the Royal Rumble where Goldberg once again embarrassed his rival, as immediately after entering the ring at #28 he floored Lesnar with a spear and then easily eliminated him with a clothesline. Goldberg would then go on to also eliminate Rusev and Luke Harper but was then dumped out from behind by Undertaker after 3:21.

169. "The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix-36 points (159) Accomplishments: Final Four (2020) Phoenix became the second woman to be in a Royal Rumble when entered the 2010 match. She actually managed to eliminate the Great Khali by kissing him and then easing him over the top. She then attempted to eliminate CM Punk as well but Punk hit her with the GTS before eliminating her after 1:37. Beth was also in the 2018 and 2020 Women's Rumbles. In 2018 she surprisingly didn't do much, scoring no eliminations and not being able make much headway against Nia Jax before getting tossed in short order by former partner Natalya. 2020 was much better as she had one of the stronger overall showings of the match. Despite accidentally getting the back of her head busted open after smacking the ringpost; Beth stayed in for over 23 minutes, double crossed and eliminated Natalya as payback for a few years before, and made it to the last 3. 168. Charlie Haas-36 points (157) Haas was in the Rumble from 03 through 05. In 03 as a member of Team Angle with Shelton Benjamin he was in for 17:17 and helped Benjamin in eliminating Goldust and Booker T before Brock Lesnar simultaneously tossed both of them. In 04 he was eliminated by Goldberg in 6:53. In 05 he was eliminated by Shawn Michaels in 6:20. 167. Jerry "The King" Lawler-36 points (156) Although he has spent most Royal Rumbles doing commentary, Lawler participated in the match in 93, 96, 97, and 012. In 93 he was in for 14:35 and eliminated Max Moon before getting backdropped out by Mr. Perfect. Lawler however then helped eliminate Perfect from the outside. It looked like this would be the start of a feud but nothing ever came of it. In 96 he had a rough go of it. Henry Godwinn threw pig slop on him and later Jake the Snake threw his snake on him. The scared Lawler hid under the ring and stayed there for a long time. Eventually Shawn Michaels pulled him out and threw him back in the ring before punching him out after 36:02. He had a funny run in 97. He was doing commentary for the show before entering the match at #22. He then got punched out by Bret Hart after just 4 seconds. He then returned to the commentary table and just continued talking about what he was talking about before he left as if nothing happened. In 2012 he left his commentary position again to participate in the Rumble. The King only lasted 43 seconds before getting dumped by Cody Rhodes. 166. Ricochet-36 points (174) Ricochet was in the last five Rumbles. In 2020 he lasted for 3:09 before getting caught on a crossbody and launched out of the ring by Drew McIntyre. While on paper his role in the match might seem inconsequential, he did have a big impact on the match as he delivered a low blow to Brock Lesnar (who had run through everyone up until that point) that stunned Lesnar and allowed Drew McIntyre to Claymore Kick him out of the ring. In 2021 he lasted over 11 minutes before getting chokeslammed by Kane onto the apron and eliminated. In 2022 he was only in for 4:23 but did pick up his first elimination by assisting in the group elimination of Omos. In 2023 he was eliminated by Austin Theory after 9:14. In 2024 he was eliminated by McIntyre again in 5:10.

165. Mia Yim/Michin-37 points (169) Mia was in the 2020, 2023. and 2024 Women's Rumble. 2020 wasn't anything special as she was eliminated by Alexa Bliss in 6:30. 2023 her best showing as she lasted close to 18 minutes, eliminated Shotzi, assisted in the elimination of Nia Jax, and made the finals before getting powered out by Piper Niven. This year she was in for about five minutes before being eliminated by Nia Jax. 164. Kairi Sane-37 points (184) Pirate Princess was in the Women's Rumble from 2018 through 2020 as well as 2024. In 2018 she was a late substitute for Alicia Fox. Kairi was eliminated in just 4:29 after getting knocked off the second rope by Dana Brooke and falling over the top rope and out. 2019 was her best showing as she teamed with Natalya to eliminate Sarah Logan and was in for 17 minutes exactly before Ruby Riott blocked a headscissors attempt and heaved her out. In 2020 she only lasted for 5 and change before getting punched off the top rope by Alexa Bliss. In 2024 she back as part of Damage CTRL. She was in for around 5 minutes again and helped her teammates put out Candice LeRae before being eliminated in what looked like a botch in that it appeared she was supposed to hang onto the apron but couldn't do it. 163. Dana Brooke-37 points (155) Dana was in every women's Rumble from 2018 through 2023. She was pretty much a non factor for the most part though, not lasting that long or doing much of note in any of her appearances. Best showings were 2018 where she scored her only elimination in her appearances by putting out Kairi Sane and 2023 where had her longest ring time by lasting 11:43. Total stats are 32:20 in ring time with one elimination. 162. Rhyno-37 points (154) The Man Beast was in the 2004 and 2018 Rumbles as well as the Greatest Royal Rumble match. In 04 he eliminated Tajiri before Benoit backdropped him out after 14 minutes even. After a lengthy absence he returned to the company in 2016 and was in the 2018 Rumble match. Rhyno was the first man eliminated, getting tossed by Baron Corbin after a little over 2 minutes. In the Greatest Royal Rumble he surprisingly had one of the longer ring times with 16:22 although he didn't do much. 161. Xia Lee-37 points (172) Chinese star competed in the 2019, 2020, 2023, and 2024 Women's Rumbles. 2023 was the best of her four outings as she stayed in for 15:37. Total ring time is 37:53. 160. "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka-38 points (153) The Superfly was in the Rumble from 90 through 92. He also was in 08 as a surprise entrant. In 90 he was in for 17:03 while single handedly eliminating Akeem and taking part in the group elimination of Earthquake. In 91 he was in for 8:06 before Hawk tossed him. In 92 he was only in for a little over 2 minutes before Undertaker eliminated him. In 08 he went at it with old foe Roddy Piper before Kane eliminated both of them.

159. Phinneas Godwinn-39 points (152) Phinneas was in the 97 and 98 Rumbles. In 97 he eliminated Crush but then turned around into a stunner from Stone Cold who then tossed him after 2:52. He had a long stay in 98, lasting for nearly 29 minutes before getting backdropped out by Mark Henry and nearly killing a referee on the way down. He also was involved in the group elimination of Kurrgan that year. 158. Zoey Stark-39 points (193) Zoey made her first Rumble appearance in 2023 when she was still in NXT. She did the best of the three NXT entrants as she managed to last an impressive 26:34. In 2024 she was in just for just under 10 minutes and teamed with Shayna Baszler to toss Shotzi before being eliminated by Liv Morgan in the finals. 157. Katana Chance/Kacy Catanzaro-39 points (288) Former American Ninja Warrior finalist made her first main roster appearance in the 2019 Women's Rumble. Kacy would put her experience from the hit TV show to good use in avoiding a seemingly certain elimination from Dana Brooke by keeping her feet off the ground and then doing a handstand to walk herself to the ring post in which she then clinged onto to help pull herself back into the ring. Unfortunately for Kacy shortly after she would run into Rhea Ripley who picked her up and heaved her way out of the ring to eliminate her for good after 10:45. In 2024 as Katana Chance she had one of longer times as she stayed in for over 25 minutes while also getting an assisted elimination when she teamed with partner Kayden Carter to eliminate Asuka. 156. The Godfather/The Goodfather/Papa Shango/Kama Mustafa-39 points (151) Accomplishments: Final Four (1996) I don't think anybody has been in as many Rumbles with as many different characters as this guy. He was in his first Rumble in 93 as Papa Shango. He only lasted 28 seconds before getting dumped from behind by Flair. He had his best showing in 96 as "The Supreme Fighting Machine" Kama as he was in for nearly 16 minutes and helped Diesel eliminate Duke Drosse before getting eliminated by Diesel. He was the second to last man eliminated that year. In 98 as a member of the Nation he lasted nearly 14 minutes before Austin backdropped him out. By the 99 Rumble he was using his most popular persona the Godfather. He was eliminated by Kane in under 2 minutes. In 2000 he was only in for about a minute and a half spending almost his entire time getting beat up by Big Show who tossed him. In 2001 as Right to Censor member the Goodfather he lasted for only 14 seconds before the Rock checked him into the smackdown hotel and put him out with the spit punch. For 2002 he was back as the Godfather. He was in for around 2 minutes before missing the ho train and getting double clotheslined out by Christian and Chuck Palumbo. He was in the 2013 Rumble as a surprise entrant and almost broke the record for shortest time as he was dropkicked out by Dolph Ziggler in about 3 seconds. 155. Candice LeRae-39 points (203) Candice was in the 2019, 2020, 2023, and 2024 Rumbles. She didn't do much in any of them, not scoring an elimination in any of her four appearances. In 2019 she was in for 9:35 before getting tossed by Ruby Riott after Ruby's Riott Squad lackeys, Liv Morgan and Sarah Logan, dragged LeRae to the outside and powerbombed her into the barricade. 2020 was pretty much a repeat showing from the year before, staying in for about 9 minutes with no eliminations. In 2023 she was eliminated by Iyo Sky in 5:11. In 2024 she had her longest time with 15:23 before getting ganged up on by Damage CTRL. 154. "The All American American" Jack Swagger-39 points (150) A Rumble main stay for most of most of the 2010's although he was a non factor in every one he was in as he's currently tied for the record of having the most Rumble appearances without eliminating anyone, as he was in six matches and didn't put a single person over the top rope. He also didn't even do well longevity wise as his longest stays in the match were only around 12 minutes. In his first Rumble in 2010 he was eliminated by Kofi in just a little over 2 minutes. Shockingly he would win the World Title just a few months later. However, by the time of the 2011 Rumble his title push had fizzled out and he wasn't even that much higher on the card then he was the previous year. Swagger was eliminated in under 5 minutes by Mysterio after the 619 as Swagger on the apron. In 012 he lasted 7:59 before getting eliminated by Big Show and Sheamus. His elimination was pretty creative as Big Show pulled him out from the outside as he was making his entrance, as Swagger was close to being eliminated by Sheamus on the side of the ring by the entrance. Swagger would get in Big Show's face about it which would result in Show giving him the KO punch to the face. In 2014 he was in for a solid 12:07 although he didn't really do much other then getting into a confrontation with future nemesis Alexander Rusev in a foreshadowing of their feud later in the year, before getting dumped out by 55 year old Kevin Nash. 2015 was pretty similar to the year before, a solid but uneventful stay in which he lasted for close to 13 minutes. 2016 was an embarrassingly bad showing as he was F5ed and tossed by Brock Lesnar in just 15 seconds while getting literally no offense.

153. Carmella-40 points (149) The Princess of Staten Island was in the Women's Rumble from 2018 through 2022. In 2018 she had a near 17 minute stay although like a lot of the girls with higher survival times that year (Sasha Banks, Natalya, Nia Jax etc.) she spent a good portion of her time "napping" outside the ring. In 2019 she was #30 by virtue of winning the Mixed Match Challenge along with R-Truth. Carmella teamed with Bayley to toss Alexa Bliss before getting big booted out by Charlotte after 7:12. In 2020 she was one the many women used as late match Shayna fodder, getting tossed after 6:36. In 2021 she unsuccessfully challenged Sasha Banks for the Smackdown Women's Championship in the undercard but still participated in the Rumble most likely due to them needing bodies as a result of the women's roster being so small, which is a issue with doing a women's Rumble every year. Carmella eliminated Nikki Cross after her second, Reginald, saved from elimination by catching her. Another save attempt would be unsuccessful though as the following entrant, Tamina, would scare Reginald and cause him to drop Carmella who was as result eliminated after just 47 seconds. 2022 was another short gimmicky run as she stalled outside the ring again talking to the commentators and taking her time putting her glittery protective face mask on before the next entrant Rhea Ripley forced into her the ring and eliminated both her and partner in crime Queen Zelina after Carmella was only in 50 seconds. 152. Xavier Woods-40 points (148) Xavier competed in the 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2023, and Greatest Royal Rumble matches. None were really particular impressive performances as he didn't last that long in any of them with his best time being 10:29 in 2023. He had his best overall showing in the Greatest Royal Rumble as he lasted 9:56 and scored his only elimination his six appearances when he teamed with Kofi to eliminate Tony Nese. 151. Val Venis-40 points (147) Val was a regular in the Rumble in the attitude era. He was in the match from 99 through 02. In 99 he was in for a solid 12:41 before Triple H eliminated him. In 2000 he lasted for 11:47 and teamed with Al Snow to eliminate Edge before Kane grabbed him by the throat and threw him out. By the 2001 Rumble he had dropped his porn star gimmick and had become a member of the Right to Censor. He had another solid but unspectacular run, lasting 10:22 before Undertaker eliminated him. Like Godfather, Venis would go back to his old gimmick for the 02 Rumble. He teamed up with Test against Stone Cold but it ended up backfiring as Test accidentally hit him with a big boot leaving him easy pickings for Austin who eliminated him after just 2:58. 150. Jeff Hardy-41 points (146) The Charismatic Enigma has competed in six Rumble matches during his career. For an all time great his track record has been pretty weak as other then 2001 he didn't eliminate anyone in all of his other appearances, while also only lasting three to eight minutes. 01 was his best showing. He drew #1 that year with his brother Matt "coincidentally" drawing #3. The brothers teamed up to eliminate Bull Buchanan and Faarooq before deciding to fight each other. They then eventually eliminated each other after a fight on the top turnbuckle. Going into 02 the Hardyz were feuding with the Undertaker after Taker had attempted to end both of their careers. They "coincidentally" drew back to back numbers when Taker was standing tall as the only man in the ring. The Dead Man fought off their double team attempts and eliminated both of them, with Jeff only lasting for 1:30. By the 03 Rumble Jeff had split up with Matt and ended up fighting him for most of his time in the match. After 7:26 he decided to climb to the top rope like a moron and was promptly pushed off by RVD. This ended up being his last Rumble for a while as he was let go that spring for drug issues. Jeff returned in late 06 and was immediately pushed as a singles star, winning the IC Title shortly after his comeback. He was in the 07 Rumble but only lasted a disappointing 3:38 before getting dumped by Edge after trying to stop Edge and Orton from eliminating his brother Matt who was then dumped out right after anyways. Despite being in the company for over two years after, this would end up being his last appearance for a long time as he was tied up in title matches the following two years and then left the company in the summer of 2009. Both Hardyz returned in 2017 and Jeff was in the 2019 Rumble. Jeff was a non factor, not doing much and getting eliminated in a little under 8 minutes. In 2021 he was eliminated first in 3:25 after Orton RKOed him and Ziggler picked the bones dumped him out. 149. Shotzi Blackheart-41 points (196) Shotzi competed in last five Women's Rumbles. In 2020 she lasted a little shy of 8 minutes before getting eliminated by Shayna Baszler. In 2021 she was eliminated first when Shayna put her out again after 3:46. 2022 was another short run as she entered late at #29 and was eliminated by Ronda in just a little under three minutes. 2023 she was in for 8:39 and scored her first elimination by taking part in the massive group elimination of Nia Jax. 2024 she had her longest time with 15:14. 148. Jimmy Uso-41 points (321) Jimmy was in the 2014 Rumble along with his brother Jey. Jimmy was in for 7:46 before stupidly climbing the top rope and getting ensiguried by Seth Rollins, then pushed off and eliminated by Dean Ambrose. Remarkably the Usos wouldn't be in another Rumble until a whole decade despite being on the roster on the entire time and being heavily pushed for the majority of it. By this point they had just finally split with Jimmy turning heel on Jey who had been kicked out of the Bloodline. They would end up drawing numbers 1 and 2 against each other with Jimmy lasting for over 34 minutes before being eliminated by Bron Breakker.

For Jeff Hardy, I think you forgot to list his Rumble appearances after 2003.

147. Dakota Kai-42 points (145) Dakota competed in the 2020, 2021, and 2023 Women's Rumbles. She got the shaft pretty hard in 2020 and 2021 as she had weak showings in both. In 2020 she only lasted for 1:32 before getting dumped out by Chelsea Green. 2021 wasn't much better as she was tossed by Rhea Ripley after 2:06. In 2023 though as part of the group Damage CTRL she did very well as she eliminated Emma and assisted her teammates in four other eliminations before getting tossed by Becky Lynch after 22:20. 146. Savio Vega/Kwang the Ninja-42 points (143) Competed in the match from 94 through 98. In 94 he made his WWF debut as Kwang, filling in for the injured Ludvig Borga. He was eliminated by Diesel. In 95 he eliminated Doink with super kick but then was eliminated by Sionne. By 96 the Kwang gimmick had been dropped and he was wrestling as a face as Savio Vega, a friend of Razor Ramon. Vega lasted 12:28 while eliminating Dory Funk. In 97 he was eliminated by Austin in under a minute. In 98 he was eliminated by Austin again in 9:29. His total time is 32:24 with two eliminations. 145. Samoa Joe-43 points (142) The Samoan Submission Machine was in the 2019 and 2020 Rumbles. 2019 was a strong showing as he eliminated Big E, Curt Hawkins, and No Way Jose and was in for over 23 minutes before getting stunned by a leaping knee from Shelton Benjamin which enabled Mustafa Ali to dump him out. In 2020 he was dumped by Seth Rollins in 4:25 after Rollins disciple, Buddy Murphy, broke up the coquina clutch from outside the ring with a kick to the head. 144. Al Snow-43 points (141) Another regular from the attitude era. Snow was in the match from 99 through 02. 99 sucked as he was eliminated by Road Dogg in just 47 seconds. 2000 was a good showing though as he was in for 17:17 and eliminated former J.O.B. Squad teammate Hardcore Holly and teamed with Val Venis to eliminate Edge. In 2001 he jumped the gun of his entrance to get at Raven who he was feuding with at the time. He also started the hardcore portion of the match when he started bringing weapons into the ring. Kane ended up eliminating him along with everyone else in the ring after a little over 7 minutes. In 02 he eliminated Lance Storm before Undertaker tossed him after a little over 5 minutes. 143. Kevin Owens-43 points (140) Accomplishments: Final Four (Greatest Royal Rumble) KO was in the 2016, 2020, 2022, and Greatest Royal Rumble matches. In 2016 he eliminated AJ Styles but only lasted a disappointing 4:28, mainly due to the fact that he was already banged up pretty bad going in after taking a beating in last man standing match against Dean Ambrose earlier in the night. In the 50 Man edition in Saudi Arabia, Owens drew a late number with #46 and made the final four before getting tossed by Braun after 10:43. In 2020 he entered late again at #27. Owens would toss rival Seth Rollins over the top rope but unfortunately for him Rollins heavies, Akam and Rezar, would catch their boss and throw him safely back into the ring. Rollins would then dump Owens out with Akam and Rezar assisting him by pulling KO's arms from the outside. In 2022 he was in for 11:13 and scored an elimination albeit an unplanned one as Kofi Kingston failed to hang onto the barricade in his save spot after Owens shoved him off the top rope. Owens was eventually eliminated by former nemesis Shane McMahon in the finals. 142. Mickie James-43 points (139) Mickie was in the 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022 Women's Rumbles. In 2018 she was in for a little over 8 minutes before getting eliminated in the finals by her old rival, Trish Stratus. In 2019 she was in for over 11 minutes before getting superkicked out by Tamina. In 2021 she was eliminated in 7:20 after Lacey Evans knocked her off the apron with the Women's Right. Mickie was released a few months later but was announced as a participant for the 2022 Women's Rumble. This was super surprising news due to the fact that Mickie was signed to Impact Wrestling and was also their champion. Mickie lasted over 11 minutes and eliminated former rival Micelle McCool before getting eliminated by Lita. 141. Irwin R. Schyster-43 points (138) I.R.S. was in the 92 and 93 Rumbles. He didn't eliminate anyone in either but he did manage to rack up the minutes. In 92 he was in for an impressive 27:01 before Piper pulled him out by the tie from the apron in a cool spot. In 93 he was in for 16 minutes exactly before missing a flying clothesline on Earthquake and going out.

140. The Ultimate Warrior-44 points (137) Accomplishments: Most Eliminations (1990) Warrior was in the 88 and 90 Rumbles. In 88 he was still pretty new and was yet to get his mega push that he would start to get later in the year. He was eliminated in just 3:51 by One Man Gang and Dino Bravo. By the 90 Rumble Warrior was a huge star whose popularity rivaled even Hulk Hogan. Warrior eliminated Dino Bravo, Ted Dibiase, Shawn Michaels, and Rick Martel. He also teamed with Martel to eliminate Jim Neidhart and Tito Santana which was kind of odd. Eventually it would just be Warrior and Hogan in the ring in a never before seen matchup and a prelude to their great Wrestlemania VI title for title match. Needless to say the crowd was pretty psyched for this. The two ended up knocking each other down with clotheslines. The Barbarian and Rick Rude would then enter and go after both Hogan and the Warrior. As Rude and Barbarian were trying to put Warrior out, Hogan rushed in with a double clothesline which ended up putting Warrior out in the process after 14:29. 139. Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart-44 points (136) The Anvil was in the 88, 90 and 91 Rumbles. 88 was a good showing as he went for over 19 minutes and teamed with Hart Foundation partner Bret Hart to eliminate Tito Santana. In 90 he was in for 8:42 and helped in the group elimination of Earthquake. In 91 he was in for 11:11 and was in the finals before Martel dumped him out. 138. A-Train/Prince Albert/Tensai-46 points (133) Rumble regular in the first half of the 2000's, competing in the match from 2000 through 2004. He was also in the 2013 Rumble during his second run as Tensai. He really didn't do much in any of them, not recording a single elimination in his six appearances which is tied for the record for most appearances without an elimination. 01 and 03 were his best showings. In 01 he lasted 15:53 which was one the higher times that year. In 03 as A-Train he went for over 11 minutes and was in the last 6. 137. R-Truth/K-Kwik-44 points (135) Made his Rumble debut as K-Kwik in 2001. He was in for a decent 7:53 even though he spent almost all of it getting beat up. He was eliminated by Big Show with a press slam out of the ring. He was released later in the year and would end up spending a lot of time in TNA. He returned to WWE in late 2008 as R-Truth and participated in the 09 Rumble. He lasted over 12 minutes before getting press slammed out again by Big Show in duplicate of his elimination from 8 years earlier. Truth would be back for the 010 Rumble. That year he shocked everybody when he eliminated Mark Henry and Big Show simultaneously when they were fighting on the ropes. Truth went on to last 4:10 before getting head scissored out by Kofi Kingston. 2011 was a wash as he came in with just the Nexus. Despite what had happened to the last couple of guys who entered the ring against Nexus, Truth would sprint to the ring like a idiot. He was beat down and eliminated in about a minute. Truth's career was rejuvenated a few months later when he turned heel and became a crazy character who talked to himself while referring to the fans as little Jimmy's. Truth also formed an alliance with the Miz. Unfortunately Truth's heel run was short lived as he was turned face again towards the end of the year after Miz turned on him. Why they would turn him back so quickly after his heel stint had been so successful is beyond me. Anyways, in the 2012 Rumble Truth lasted just a little under 5 minutes before Miz tossed him out. Truth ended up getting the last laugh though as he pulled Miz under the bottom rope and gave him his finishing move on the floor. 2014 was a short stay as the Shield got the jump on him and eliminated him in just 28 seconds after a Dean Ambrose dropkick. In 2015 he drew #2 and teamed with Bubba Ray Dudley to hit several of the Dudley Boyz double team moves on Miz, before Bubba tossed both of them out. Over the course of 2015 Truth started a gimmick where he would interrupt in ring talking segments with other superstars and act confused what kind of match they were talking and also if he himself was even in the match. This led to a funny bit in the 2016 Rumble where he pulled a ladder from under the ring and set it up in the ring after he entered. Truth climbed the ladder and reached for a briefcase/belt that wasn't there before Kane tipped the ladder over and tossed him out in just 37 seconds. Truth was scheduled to be in the 2019 Rumble in the #30 spot which he had earned by winning the Mixed Challenge Tag Tournament with Carmella. However as he was making his entrance he was jumped and beat up by Nia Jax who took his spot. In 2024 he had a few more funny bits. First he mistakenly tried to enter the Women's Royal Rumble and then later entered the men's Royal Rumble by taking a hot tag from Dominik Mysterio. R-Truth would help the Judgement Day who he was trying to join despite them not wanting anything to do with him. Not surprisingly Damien Priest would double cross him and toss him after 2:56. 136. Umaga/Jamal-47 points (132) The Samoan Bulldozer was in the 03 and 08 Rumbles. In 03 he was Jamal of the 3 Minute Warning tag team. Jamal didn't do too much but he did last a good 16:07 and was among the finalists before getting eliminated by Undertaker. He would get released later in the year but returned in 2006 and received a big push as the Samoan Savage Umaga. Umaga was involved in the WWE Title match in 07 but would participate in the Rumble match for 08. He eliminated Hardcore Holly with his Samoan Spike and was among the last 5 before Batista eliminated him after 26:07. 135. Big John Studd-47 points (131) Accomplishments: 1989 Royal Rumble Winner Our first winner on the countdown. After a two year hiatus from the WWF Studd would come back with a bang in 1989 by winning the first 30 man Royal Rumble. Coming in at #27 it took him 12:21 to win it, putting out Akeem and Ted Dibiase in succession for the victory. There definitely were big plans for Studd but unfortunately his body began to break down not long after and he would leave the company by the summer.

It's reassuring to know that Big John Studd will is still the lowest ranked Rumble Winner.
