Wow so Nia is ahead of winners Ric Flair AND Becky? Yeah the combination of scoring 8 eliminations and lasting 20 minutes led to a big jump. She scored 60 points for this year alone.

35. Gunther-162 points (65) StatsRing Time: 112:00 Eliminations: 8 Assists: 0 Accomplishments: 2023 Iron Man Most Eliminations (2023) 2023 Runner-Up Final Four (2024) The Ring General had one of the most impressive showings in Rumble history in 2023. After drawing number 1 he managed to last an incredible 71 minutes and 50 seconds. Along the way he also picked up five eliminations as he took out Xavier Woods, Kofi Kingston, Booker T, Sheamus, and Drew McIntyre. He would make it all the way to the last two against Cody Rhodes who had drawn #30. Despite having been in for over an hour Gunther still wouldn't go down without a fight against the much fresher Rhodes as the two battled back and forth for quite a while until Cody finally took him out with a big running clothesline. 2024 was another strong showing as he lasted over 30 minutes with 3 eliminations and made the last three before being eliminated by Cody again. 34. Naomi-167 points (59) StatsRing Time: 147:17 Eliminations: 4 Assists: 0 The Queen of Glow has been in most of the Women's Rumbles so far, competing in six out of the seven. In 2018 she lasted a modest 6:33 with no eliminations although she did get the "Kofi Spot" as she avoid elimination by first landing on the barricade and then using a chair to make her way back into the ring. It all ended up being for naught though as Nia Jax caught her on a crossbody attempt and tossed her immediately afterwards. In 2019 she quickly eliminated rival Mandy Rose however her "Kofi Spot" elimination save was thwarted when Mandy pulled her off the steps and eliminated her right before she could get back in the ring after Naomi had went through all the trouble of walking the barricade and jumping to the steps. I busted out laughing so hard while watching this not only because it was unexpected but also because I'm just so tired of the contrived elimination save spots and think they've become so overdone now. It was cool with Morrison and the first few times with Kofi but at this point it's just been overdone with them doing it every year. In 2020 she made her return after a several month absence. She had a ring time of over 22 minutes although she spent almost all of it farting around outside the ring trying to put her stupid save spot together without her feet touching the floor. Eventually near the end of the match she finally got back in by using the Royal Rumble sign on the announce table as a bridge to get to the steps, only to get eliminated immediately afterwards like usual. 2021 was a real long run as she was in for 47:39 and eliminated Carmella. In 2022 other then a longer duration at over 7 minutes, she had a showing similar to what she did in 2019. Quickly eliminated current rival (in this case Sonya Deville) with rival then getting the last laugh by stopping her save spot and pulling her out from the outside. After a year and a half out of the company she made her return at the 2024 Rumble. Similar to 2021 she had a big iron woman performance after drawing #2, although in this case she was in even longer as she lasted over 62 minutes. She also eliminated Alba Fyre before being taken out by Jade Cargill in the finals. 33. Bray Wyatt/Husky Harris-169 points (32)StatsRing Time: 117:49 Eliminations: 8 Assists: 4 AccomplishmentsFinal Four (2017) 2015 Iron Man Most Eliminations (2015) The patriarch of the Wyatt Family competed in the 2011, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 Rumbles. In 2011 as New Nexus member, Husky Harris, he did pretty well as he was in for nearly 16 minutes and assisted his Nexus teammates in eliminating Ted Dibiase, John Morrison, and Mark Henry. The next night on Raw Husky was written off TV after getting punted in the head by Randy Orton. After over two years in developmental, he returned to the main roster as Bray Wyatt and was given a big push. Bray was the ironman in the 2015 Rumble lasting an impressive 47 minutes while also scoring six eliminations, with the most notable one being Daniel Bryan who was among one of the few favorites to win that year. He also made it all the way to the final six from the #5 position, before becoming one of the many late match victims of Big Show and Kane. In 2016 he was in for 10:46 while surprisingly scoring no eliminations. Oddly for the second year in a row the heel Bray was eliminated near the end in a double team from the heel Authority, as Sheamus and Triple H dumped him out after Sheamus gave him a brogue kick to stop him from giving Triple H the Sister Abigail. In 2017 he was in for 24:11 and was in the last three before getting tossed by Roman Reigns. In 2018 he eliminated Heath Slater and teamed with rival Matt Hardy to dump Rusev before he and Hardy then eliminated each other after Bray had been in for almost 20 minutes.

32. Danial Bryan-179 points (30) StatsRing Time: 142:56 Eliminations: 5 Assists: 4 AccomplishmentsGreatest Royal Rumble Iron Man Final Four (Greatest Royal Rumble) Most Time Spent in a Rumble Match (76:05 in Greatest Royal Rumble) Bryan was in the 2011, 2013, 2015, and 2021 Rumbles as well as the Greatest Royal Rumble match in 2018. In 2011 he had a good showing, going 20+ minutes from the #2 position while eliminating Justin Gabriel and Zack Ryder. In 2013 he teamed with partner Kane to eliminate Great Khali, but then turned on Kane and dumped him out too. Bryan was then dumped out by Cesaro, but caught by Kane before he hit the floor. Bryan tried to convince Kane to put him back in the ring but Kane instead just dropped him on the floor to eliminate him. 2015 was disappointing. Despite the fact that he was the most over guy in the match, had just returned after being out for eight months with a neck injury, and was one of the few guys in the match with a realistic chance to win, he was eliminated in about 10 minutes in ho hum fashion by Bray Wyatt about half way through the match. After his elimination the crowd completely lost interest in the match and booed eventual winner Roman Reigns, despite the fact that the company was trying to push him as their next big babyface. Despite his disappointing showing, he did manage to eliminate Tyson Kidd in what was the only highlight in his time in. Later in the year he was forced into retire due to injures, but would come out of retirement in 2018 and was in the Greatest Royal Rumble match that year. He would make history in that match as he lasted an incredible 76 minutes and 5 seconds, shattering Rey Mysterio's record from 2006. He lasted all the way to the last three from the #1 spot while eliminating Viktor and assisting in eliminations of Dash Wilder and Mark Henry. In 2021 he assisted in the group elimination of Lashley and lasted 28:50 before getting eliminated by Rollins in the finals. 31. The Rock-188 points (29) StatsRing Time: 118:02 Eliminations: 9 Assists: 0 Accomplishments2000 Royal Rumble Winner 1998 Iron Man 1998 Runner-Up Final Four (2001) The great one made his Rumble debut in 1997 as Rocky Maivia. The rookie Maivia was in for 13:01 and was in the finals before Mankind used the mandible claw to eliminate him. By the 98 Rumble, Maivia had gone through an attitude change and joined the Nation of Domination. Now known as The Rock he lasted an impressive 51:32 while finishing runner up to Steve Austin. He also scored eliminations of rival Ken Shamrock and his leader in the Nation, Faarooq. By the 2000 Rumble, Rock had become a huge fan favorite and the company's second biggest star behind Austin. Rock eliminated Big Bossman, Crash Holly, Al Snow and lastly the Big Show to win the match after 14:47. 01 was another good showing. He eliminated the Goodfather in 14 seconds and later on eliminated the Big Show again after Show had wiped everybody out with chokeslams. However, Big Show then pulled Rock under the bottom rope and gave him a chokeslam through the announcers table. After spending several minutes outside recovering, he eventually got back into the ring and started fighting with the Undertaker and Kane. In the finals, Rock eliminated Rikishi and was among the last 3 guys in the ring along with Austin and Kane. Rock attempted to put Austin out but then Kane came up from behind and dumped both of them. Austin managed to land safely on the apron but Rock however wasn't as lucky as he fell to the arena floor and was eliminated after 38:41. 30. "The British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith-189 points (28) StatsRing Time: 126:02 Eliminations: 12 Assists: 1 Accomplishments1995 Iron Man 1995 Runner-Up Final Four (1991, 1996) Bulldog is one of the greatest Rumble participants to never win the match. He competed in the match in 91, 92, 95, 96, 97, and 2000. He did well in every one. In 91 he was in the final 4 and lasted 36:43 while eliminating Mr. Perfect, Haku and Rick Martel who had been in over 52 minutes. 92 was another good showing. Drawing #1 he shockingly eliminated Ted Dibiase within the first 2 minutes. He also eliminated Jerry Sags and Haku again before Flair backdropped him out after 23:33. Bulldog left for WCW in late 92 but returned at Summerslam 94. He was in the 95 Rumble and drew #2 against #1 entrant Shawn Michaels. Bulldog was in for 38:41 and eliminated Jimmy Del Rey, Owen Hart, Timothy Well and Crush. It ended up coming down to him against Michaels, the two men who started the match. Bulldog had seemingly won the match after clotheslining Michaels out. He then started celebrating on the second rope as his music started playing but then Michaels would came back in and knocked him off and out to win it. The referees then said that Michaels hadn't been eliminated as only one his feet hit the floor. By the 96 Rumble he had turned heel for the first time in his career. He eliminated Marty Jannetty and was in the final 4 before Michaels eliminated him again. In 97 he eliminated the Sultan before his partner and brother in law Owen Hart "accidentally" dumped him out as the Bulldog was attempting to eliminate Steve Austin. This ended up being Davey Boy's last Rumble for a few years as he left the federation to follow another brother in law, Bret Hart, to WCW after the Survivor Series that November. Bulldog returned to the WWF in the fall of 99 and participated in the 2000 Rumble, which ended up being the last of his career. He took part in the group elimination of Rikishi and was in for 15:22 before getting dumped out by the Road Dogg.

29. Natalya-192 points (31) StatsRing Time: 156:18 Eliminations: 6 Assists: 2 Accomplishments2019 Iron Woman Final Four (2020, 2021) Queen of Harts has been a Iron Woman of the Women's Rumbles, racking up a lot of minutes while also scoring a decent amount of eliminations as well. She's also only one of two women to appear in all seven of Women's Rumbles so far. In 2018 she eliminated Beth Phoenix, Michelle McCool, and took part in the group elimination of Nia Jax before getting eliminated by Trish Stratus in the finals after over 23 minutes. In 2019 she was the Iron Woman as she drew #2 and lasted almost an hour while eliminating Liv Morgan and teaming with Kairi Sane to dump Sarah Logan. In 2020 she was in for over 14 minutes and made the final four before occasional tag partner Beth Phoenix double crossed her and tossed her in a call back to the 2018 Rumble when Natalya did the same thing to her. In 2021 she drew #30 and was in the final four although that was mainly due to hardly anyone being left when she entered. Natalya would quickly sucker and toss Lana but got too overconfident and was dumped from behind by Bianca Belair after just 2 minutes. In 2022 she eliminated Tamina and Summer Rae and lasted over 36 minutes before getting bumped off the apron and eliminated by Biaca Balair. For some reason Natalya went back into the ring afterwards but then was just tossed right out again by Ronda Rousey in a strange spot. She was back yet again in 2023 in a return after a couple of months sidelined as a result of getting her nose broken by Shayna Baszler. Natalya would go right after Baszler however both would get eliminated by Damage CTRL after they were knocked off the apron. In 2024 she tried to once again double across and sneakily eliminate a current ally in Tegan Nox only to have the tables turn on her this time as Nox ended up eliminating her instead after 20:57. 28. Batista-202 points (26) StatsRing Time: 76:47 Eliminations: 14 Assists 2 Accomplishments2005 Royal Rumble Winner 2014 Royal Rumble Winner 2008 Iron Man Most Eliminations (2005) Final Four (2003, 2008, 2010) One of eight men to win over one Rumble match; the Animal was in the 03, 05, 08, 010, and 014 Rumbles. In 03 he was still pretty new. He eliminated Test and Rikishi and was in the final 4 before Undertaker eliminated him in a little under 10 minutes. Going into 05 he was on the verge of a face turn against Triple H and Evolution and was over big time. It took him 10:54 to win the match. Along the way he took out Snitsky, Jericho, Christian, and Edge with an assist from John Cena before he tossed Cena to win it. He went on to defeat Triple H for the World Title two months later. In 08 he had the longest ring time with 37:40. He eliminated Tommy Dreamer, Mr. Kennedy, Umaga, and teamed with Triple H to eliminate Kane. He was in the last 3 before getting eliminated by Triple H. In 010 he entered at #30 with just Edge, Michaels and Cena in the ring. He eliminated Michaels but was then eliminated himself not long after by Cena which started their feud that ended up leading to a Wrestlemania match. Batista left the company later in the year and wouldn't return until just prior to the 2014 Royal Rumble, which was a comeback match. Entering at #28 for the third time he quickly eliminated Erick Rowan, Ryback, and Alberto Del Rio after only a minute and a half in the ring. After all thirty men entered the crowd started to turn on Batista who was being positioned as a face, as they were disappointed that Daniel Bryan wasn't in the match after just assuming he would be in it even though he had never been announced. Despite the crowd booing him, Batista ended up winning the match after eliminating Roman Reigns. DEAL WITH IT! 27. Kofi Kingston-203 points (27) StatsRing Time: 164:22 Eliminations: 6 Assists: 3 Kofi has competed in sixteen Rumbles, including thirteen consecutive Rumbles from 2009 through 2020 before missing 2021 due to being out with an injury. His debut in 09 wasn't anything special as he was in for a little under 7 minutes before getting eliminated by the Brian Kendrick of all people. In 2010 he was only in for 2:51 but did eliminate both Jack Swagger and R-Truth in his short time in the ring. 2011 was a good showing as lasted for over 21 minutes and helped Cena put out Alex Riley in a botched elimination before Orton RKOed him and eliminated him towards the end of the match. 2012 was another good outing for him, as he lasted close to 18 minutes and had an awesome spot where he saved himself from elimination by doing a handstand. 2013 was another good run as he was in for 21:18 and eliminated Tensai and Darren Young. He also got another wacky spot where he saved himself from elimination as he landed on the eliminated Tensai's back after getting knocked off the apron, with Tensai then conveniently setting him down on the announce table to beat him, making Kofi still eligible in the match since his feet hadn't touched the floor. Kofi then used JBL's chair to pogo his way back to the apron where he lowbridged Young out before getting disaster kicked off by Cody Rhodes to get eliminated for good. In 2014 he was in for 12:32 and assisted in the group elimination of Rusev while also getting two more creative spots in which he saved himself from elimination. For the first one he got knocked off the apron and into the arms of Rusev, who set him down on the barricade to beat him up. Kofi then ran and jumped from the barricade to the apron, before stepping back into the ring to stay in the match. Then later he once again avoid elimination in creative fashion as he avoided a Jack Swagger big boot and ripped his boot off while hanging onto the bottom rope by his toes, before hitting Swagger in the face with his own boot and rolling back in. In 2015 he avoided elimination by getting caught by Adam Rose's Rosebuds who carried him back into the ring. It was all for naught though as Rusev eliminated him for good after 2:51. As part of the group New Day, Kofi was back again for the 2016 Rumble. Kofi was the only member of the group to be in the match most likely just so they could another wacky spot with him. Kofi's partners Big E. and Xavier Woods were still allowed to come to ringside with him and managed to temporarily save him from elimination as Big E. caught him on his shoulders after he was knocked off the apron by Kane. New Day clowned around at ringside for the next several minutes before Jericho dropkicked Kofi off Big E's shoulders to completely eliminate him even though it was completely missed by the cameras as they were to busy focusing on Roman Reigns getting beat up by League of Nations outside the ring. Kofi was in for 8:15. In 2017 he was in for 16:13 before getting taken out along with the rest of the New Day by Sheamus and Cesaro. In 2018 he was saved by elimination by his New Day buds, who had previously been eliminated, who then catapulted him back into the ring where he then eliminated Jinder Mahal. Unfortunately for Kofi he was then tossed shortly after by Cien Almas after 5:25. In the Greatest Royal Rumble he was in for over 16 minutes and teamed with Xavier to eliminate Tony Nese. In 2019 both him and Xavier were taken out by McIntyre after 8:53. In 2020 he spent almost all of his time in getting beat up the same man who embarrassed him and defeated him for the World Title a few months before, Brock Lesnar, who tossed him after a little over 5 minutes after he basically decided he was done playing with him. In 2022 his save spot was botched as after getting shoved off the top rope by Kevin Owens his feet accidentally touched the floor when he tried to cling onto the barricade. As a result he was eliminated in just 21 seconds. In 2023 he lasted over 14 minutes and his save spot was blown once again with Xavier not being able to catch him with an announcer chair. It seems like they finally took this as a hint that maybe they should stop with this super played out trope as Kofi didn't do it all in 2024. Kofi eliminated Ludwig Kaiser but was then taken by Gunther in 3:34.

In all the Rumbles Kofi did "big save spots" it seems insulting he never won or came close to it.

In all the Rumbles Kofi did "big save spots" it seems insulting he never won or came close to it. I guess it's possible maybe he was supposed to come close in 2022 if the save spot wasn't botched as it was close to the end of the match. Although probably not with how the finish of the match was as he probably would've just been tossed easily by Brock like all the others.

26. Hulk Hogan-216 points (25) StatsRing Time: 55:44 Eliminations: 21 Assists: 2 Accomplishments1990 Royal Rumble Winner 1991 Royal Rumble Winner Most Eliminations (1989, 1990, 1991) Final Four (1992) The Hulkster was a big player in the early Rumbles. He was in the match from 89 through 92 while winning it back to back in 90 and 91 and scoring 23 eliminations in just 4 appearances. In 89 he scored a whopping eight eliminations in just a 11 and a half minutes in the ring. He eliminated Mr. Perfect who had been in close to a half hour, Koko B. Ware, Bushwhacker Luke, both Brainbusters simutaneously, Warlord in 2 seconds which was a record for 20 years, and then his own Mega Power partner Randy Savage and Bad News Brown at the same time as they were fighting on the ropes to clear the ring. Savage didn't take it kindly and got in Hogan's face until Elizabeth came in to play peacemaker. The next entrant was Hogan nemesis the Big Bossman. Hogan and Bossman had a mini match for 2 minutes with Hogan in control. Unfortunately for him though Bossman's partner in the Twin Tower's, Akeem, was in next due to a deal the Tower's manager Slick made with The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase where he gave Dibiase the #30 spot that one of the Towers had drawn in exchange for Dibiase's number 22 or 23 so he could have his men come in back to back. Hogan put up a good fight but was eventually overwhelmed and tossed. Despite being eliminated Hogan would hang around at ringside and cause Bossman to be eliminated by pulling down the top rope when Bossman went to run off the ropes as him and Akeem were double teaming Brutus Beefcake. Going into 90, Hogan was the World Champ again and one of the odds on favorites along with Intercontinental Champion the Ultimate Warrior. Entering at #25, Hogan quickly eliminated Jimmy Snuka, Haku, and the Honky Tonk Man before having a showdown with the Warrior. The two superstars knocked each other down with a double clothesline. The Barbarian and Rick Rude were the next two entrants with both taking their shots at the two champions. When Rude and Barbarian were attempting to put Warrior out, Hogan rushed in with a double clothesline which inadvertently helped eliminate Warrior. It eventually came down to Hogan, Rude, and the #30 entrant Mr. Perfect who had been a thorn in the Hulkster's side for the previous couple of months. Rude and Perfect double teamed Hogan until Rude accidentally nailed Perfect with a shot that knocked him to the apron. Then when Perfect was attempting to get back in the ring, he accidentally helped eliminate Rude by pulling down the top rope when Rude was irish whipped into the ropes by Hogan. This left just Perfect and Hogan. After shrugging off a perfect plex, Hogan easily tossed Perfect out to win the match. In 91 Hogan became the first back to back winner of the event. He also had his longest stay in the match that year as he was in for close to 20 minutes. He also scored seven eliminations nearly matching his total from two years previous. His hit list for that year was Greg Valentine who had been in for close to 45 minutes, Smash and Crush from Demolition, Warlord, his friend Tugboat, Brian Knobbs, and then lastly the 400+ pound Earthquake who had been responsible for putting Hogan out of wrestling for a couple months in the summer with three of his Earthquake Splashes. Going into the 92 Rumble Hogan was stripped of the title due to the contorversy of his win over the Undertaker, with the belt being held up and rewarded to whoever won the Rumble match. Due to being the last two champions, both Hogan and Undertaker were given preferential treatment and allowed to draw numbers 20-30. Hogan ended up drawing #26 and quickly put out both Undertaker and the Berzerker within 10 seconds of each other. Later he teamed with Sid Justice to put out the Warlord. It ended up coming down to Hogan, Justice and Ric Flair who had been in for close to a hour. As Hogan was attempting to put Flair out, he was tossed out from behind by Justice. Although Sid did nothing wrong, Hogan was all pissed about it and caused Sid to be eliminated by Flair by pulling on his arm from the outside. After Flair left, Hogan and Sid got into a confrontation. Despite the fact that the company wanted him to be the heel in their upcoming feud, the crowd took Sid's side as Hogan was clearly in the wrong. 25. Big Show-218 points (24) StatsRing Time: 78:04 Eliminations: 25 Assists: 5 Accomplishments2000 Runner-Up 2004 Runner-Up Final Four (2012, 2015) Big Show has for the most part fared well in Rumbles, as he should. He appeared in twelve matches as he was in the match in 2000, 01, 02, 04, 06, 09, 010, 011,012,015, 016, and 017. With the exception of 02 and 017 he scored at least one elimination in each appearance. Going into the 2000 Rumble he was in the midst of one of his 10 billion face/heel turns he has had in his career and about his 5th in a year. This time it was a heel turn to due him being jealous of the Rock being more popular then him. Along with Rock, Big Show was one of the few favorites in the match. Show eliminated Test, Gangrel, Godfather, and X-Pac. Not surprisingly it came down to him and Rock. Big Show had things well in hand but got too cocky, picking what side of the ring he wanted to throw Rock out on as he had him on his shoulder. When he made his decision Rock would hang on by grabbing the top rope while Big Show fell out instead after 11:12. In the weeks afterwards Show claimed Rock hit the floor before he did, and eventually proved it leading to him too getting a title shot at WrestleMania in a four way with Rock, champion Triple H, and Mick Foley. Show was the first guy eliminated in the match. Show disappeared in the summer after being forced to take some time off to lose weight. Show returned to at the 01 Rumble looking even bigger then before. He eliminated Test and K-Kwik before chokeslamming everyone in the ring except the Rock. Rock counteref his attempted chokeslam with a lowblow before taking him out of the game with a spit punch and a clothesline after Show had been in for just 1:23. Show wouldn't take it lightly as he dragged Rock under the bottom rope and then chokeslammed him through the announce table. 02 sucked as he was bodyslammed out by Kane after just 2:45. 04 was his best showing. At the end of the match he was ganged up on by Angle, Jericho, Benoit, RVD and Cena who all nailed him with one their trademark moves. Show would fight of their elimination attempt though and eliminate them one by one until it was just him and Benoit who had been in for over a hour after coming in at #1. Show attempted to chokelam him out but Benoit countered with a front facelock which he ended up using to slowly put the big man over the top rope to win the match. Show was in for 22:38. In 06 he eliminated Coach and teamed with then partner Kane to toss Bobby Lashley. Kane and Show then went at it before both were dumped by Triple H as they were fighting on the ropes. Show's next Rumble wasn't until 09. That year he eliminated Mysterio, Mike Knox, CM Punk, R-Truth and Hacksaw Duggan before getting into a showdown with Undertaker. The two ended up battling to the apron where Show was eliminated by Randy Orton after an RKO across the top rope. Then just to be an ass, Show would pull Undertaker off the apron to eliminate him too. In 2010 he eliminated Chris Masters before both him and Mark Henry were dumped by R-Truth as they were fighting on the ropes. In 2011 he eliminated Dolph Ziggler and Drew McIntyre before Ezekiel Jackson entered and took him down with a cut block before single handedly dumping him out after just 1:30. 2012 was a similar showing as he tossed some guys but didn't last long. After failing to win the World Title in the opener Show came back for the Rumble match. Entering the match at #30, Show quickly pulled Jack Swagger over the top rope from the floor on his way to the ring as Swagger was close to getting eliminated by Sheamus. Show then gave Swagger his KO punch to the face when Swagger went to confront him. Show then also quickly eliminated Cody Rhodes, Miz and Dolph Ziggler which left him in the final four with Orton, Sheamus, and Jericho. Show was the first to go as Orton RKOed him and dumped him out after just 1:51. In 2015 he eliminated Jack Swagger and teamed with fellow Authority goon Kane to put out Ryback, Dolph Ziggler, Bray Wyatt, and Dean Ambrose. Kane and Show then tried to put out Roman Reigns as well but before they could put him out, Show would unsuccessfully try to double cross Kane by dumping from behind. Kane and Show then went at it but then were both dumped by Reigns as they were fighting on the ropes, making it the third time that Show had been eliminated in that fashion. In 2016 he put out Titus O'Neil and Ryback for his token eliminations before being used as fodeder for the new giant in town, Bruan Strowman, who knocked Show out with his devastating hug of death before dumping him out after 4:03. Despite being in the best shape of his life physically, Show was only in the 2017 Rumble for 1:42 as he dumped by Strowman again after a lengthy struggle.

24. Bayley-234 points (51) StatsBayley Ring Time: 138:27 Eliminations: 10 Assists: 7 Accomplishments 2024 Royal Rumble Winner 2024 Iron Woman Final Four (2019) Bayley was in the 2018, 2019, 2021, 2023, and 2024 Women's Rumbles. She got the shaft in 2018 as she was tossed by friend Sasha Banks in just 4:40 after drawing #29. She did take part in the group elimination of Nia Jax though which was her lone highlight in the match. 2019 was much better and a pretty good showing for her overall as she quickly eliminated Ruby Riott and Rhea Ripley within seconds of each other, teamed with Carmella to put out Alexa Bliss, and made it to the final four where she was eliminated after 14:27. By 2021 she had gone from being one of the top babyfaces to being one of the top heels. Bayley eliminated Ruby Riott again and lasted for over 29 minutes from the #1 spot before getting tossed by Bianca Belair in an elimination that was surprisingly pretty under the radar for someone of her status as it came really out of nowhere and was missed by the camera crew as they were focusing on Shayna eliminating Torrie Wilson on the other side of the ring a second before and couldn't catch Bayley's elimination in time. 2023 was a strong showing as she and her group Damage CTRL were a dominating force in the first half of the match as the trio combined to eliminate seven women. Becky Lynch would eventually eliminate the two other Damage CTRL members, Iyo Sky and Dakota Kai, but Bayley would then dump her out as well right afterwards. Bayley would take too long gloating about it though and was then also dumped from behind by Liv Morgan after 27:09 with her and her two minions then fighting to the back with Lynch afterwards. In 2024 she had probably the strongest overall performance ever in a women's Rumble as she won from #3 by lasting 1:03:03 and eliminating 7. 23. Charlotte Flair-240 points (21) StatsRing Time: 142:30 Eliminations: 14 Assists: 1 Accomplishments2020 Royal Rumble Winner Most Eliminations (2019, 2022) 2019 Runner-Up 2022 Runner-Up Final Four (2021) Undoubtedly the most pushed woman in company history it's no surprise that Charlotte has been put over very strong in all of her Rumble appearances so far, which is apparent in her already being ranked this high despite only being in only four matches. All four of her showings were long runs in which she lasted at least 27 minutes, while making the final four in all of her appearances and winning the 2020 match. In 2019 even though she finished runner up the Queen still had a dominant showing as she lasted for over 50 minutes and had the most eliminations with five. She took out Xia Li, Tamina, Lacey Evans, Carmella, and Bayley in an inadvertent assist elimination with Nia Jax. She was eliminated by archrival Becky Lynch who dumped her out last after avoiding a big boot and then knocking her off the apron. In 2020 there was no stopping her though as she eliminated Bianca Belair, Sarah Logan, Kelly Kelly, and lastly Shayna Baszler to win the match. She also had the second highest ring time with 27:19. 2021 was yet another iron woman performance as she lasted 33:47 and eliminated Peyton Royce which surprisingly was her only elimination of the night. Nonetheless she made it to the last three with Rhea Ripley and Bianca Belair. The two young guns would team up against the Queen and eventually eliminated her. In 2022 she entered the match despite being Smackdown Women's Champion as she wanted to win and choose her opponent for Wrestlemania. I have no idea what the point of this was other then it likely just being an excuse to give her another strong Rumble showing to continue to put over how great she is as if getting pushed non stop and being featured exclusively in World Title for nearly the last decade wasn't enough. Nonetheless Charlotte would have her usual strong showing as she had the most eliminations with five and lasted over 31 minutes before getting eliminated last by the returning Ronda Rousey.

22. Dolph Ziggler-241 points (20) StatsRing Time: 187:43 Eliminations: 9 Assists: 3 Accomplishments2013 Iron Man Final Four (2013, 2019) Most consecutive Royal Rumble Appearances (2009-2022) Ziggler was a big time Rumble main stay as he has the record for most consecutive Rumble appearances as he was in fifteen straight from 2009 to 2022. In 2009 he was still a new act and pretty much just a comedy character whose gimmick was that he liked introducing himself to people. Not long after he entered he tried do this to Kane who responded by tossing him out in 21 seconds. By the 2010 Rumble Ziggler had been pushed as more of a threat and after drawing #1, which seems to usually be a spot reserved for iron man performances, it seemed like he would get a long run. However the Rumble that year wasn't too kind to non main eventers and Ziggler was no exception, going out in just 2:29 by CM Punk. At the 2011 PPV he unsuccessfully challenged Edge for the World Title in first match of the night then returned later for the Royal Rumble with no explanation for what he was allowed in it. I guess we were just supposed to assume that Vickie Guerrero, the Smackdown GM and Ziggler's on screen girlfriend at the time, let him in. Ziggler went for 7:12 before getting tossed out by Big Show. 2012 was a similar situation for Ziggler as he lost to CM Punk in a WWE Title match before returning for the Rumble match. Ziggler would put together a good showing this time around as he lasted for close to 20 minutes while eliminating Kharma and assisting Cody Rhodes in eliminating Booker T and the Great Khali. Dolph made it to the last five before Big Show eliminated him again. In 2013 he got #1 again although this time he was forced into it. Ziggler had a strong showing, lasting for close to 50 minutes while eliminating the Godfather and Chris Jericho. Ziggler made it to the final four before getting eliminated by Sheamus after taking a brogue kick while he was on the apron. In 2014, now a face for the first time, he was tossed by Roman Reigns after not doing much and only lasting about 6 minutes despite arguably being the most over guy in the match that year. 2015 was a big disappointment. Going into the match he was getting arguably the biggest push of his career and was considered by most fans a strong outside possibility and the third most likely guy to win after Roman Reigns and Daniel Bryan. After oddly entering #30 (not a position suited for his gritty underdog face character he was playing at the time), he was punched out by Big Show and then dumped out in just 2:20 in a huge letdown. Despite his disappointing performance, he did manage to eliminate both Bad News Barrett and Cesaro in his short time in the ring. In 2016 he once again drew another really good number in #28, although it again didn't help him much as Triple H eliminated him in the finals after 7 minutes exactly. The string of mediocre showings continued in 2017 as he was tossed by Brock in just 4:21. In 2018 he had another crappy showing despite having a storyline going in where he had given up the US Title and left the company which all just ended up being pointless and making no sense, as Ziggler returned at the Rumble at #30 and other then eliminating Goldust made no impact at all as he was eliminated in short order yet again as Balor knocked him out after about a minute and a half. In the Greatest Royal Rumble he had his first good outing in a while, as he lasted for over 21 minutes from the #2 spot. He also eliminated Sin Cara and teamed with Daniel Bryan to dump Mark Henry. In the 2019 Rumble he was back to getting late draws again, coming in at #28. He quickly eliminated former partner Drew McIntyre in a surprise and in possibly a bigger surprise made it to the last three where he was eliminated by Strowman after 11:34. In 2020 he was in for over 12 minutes before getting tossed by Roman Reigns. In 2021 he would continue his string of good showings by lasting for 20:30 and eliminating Jeff Hardy. 2022 was a similar showing, staying in for almost the same time as the year before as he lasted for 20:46 mainly just as a hang around before getting double teamed out by the unlikely combination of Rey Mysterio and Bad Bunny. 21. Chris Benoit-241 points (19) StatsRing Time: 157:19 Eliminations: 10 Assists: 3 Accomplishments2004 Royal Rumble Winner 2004 Iron Man 2005 Iron Man Most Eliminations (2004) Despite joining the WWF/E in early 2000, Benoit wasn't involved in a Royal Rumble match until 2004. He had one of the all time great Rumble performances that year as he broke the endurance record with a time of 61:30 and won the match after being forced to enter at #1 by Smackdown GM Paul Heyman. Benoit was the second #1 entrant to win the match with the first being Shawn Michaels, although Benoit's performance was more impressive due to having longer intervals and tougher competition in his match. Benoit also scored six eliminations on his way to victory. All six were of big men as he took out Bradshaw, Mark Henry, Rhyno, Matt Morgan, and A-Train before topping it off with the 500 pound Big Show by slowly easing him over the top rope with a front facelock from the apron. In 05 he once again faced a uphill climb as he started at #2. Benoit assisted in the eliminations of Hardcore Holly and Muhammad Hassan while making it all the way to the finals before a crushing Batista spinebuster put an end to any hope of a repeat from the previous year as he was then tossed by Ric Flair after 47:26. 06 was another iron man performance as he was in for 30:31 while eliminating Booker T and Eugene before getting put out by Orton. In 07 he wasn't in as long due to getting a relatively late number. He was still in for close to 18 minutes while eliminating Johnny Nitro, Kevin Thorn, and taking part in the group elimination of Viscera.

In all the Rumbles Kofi did "big save spots" it seems insulting he never won or came close to it. The save spot is probably the reason he never comes close. They want him to do the spot, but then they can't make him a big part of the finale in case the spot fails. It would have been nice if he could have saved himself and then hung around for a while and done stuff afterwards instead of always getting tossed immediately, though.

20. Drew McIntyre-248 points (22) StatsRing Time: 144:55 Eliminations: 14 Assists: 3 Accomplishments2020 Royal Rumble Winner 2020 Iron Man 2022 Runner-Up Final Four (2024) 2020 Rumble winner made his first Rumble appearance back in 2010 during his Chosen One run. McIntyre was one of the few non main eventers that was allowed stay a while, going 14+ minutes before getting double teamed out by D-X. 2011 wasn't anything special as Big Show dumped him out in under 5 minutes. In 2013 as a member of 3MB, he was in for 2:50 before getting dropkicked out by Jericho. McIntyre was released in 2014 but returned in 2018 with a renewed push and a more bad ass look and persona. The rechristened Scottish Psychopath was one of the more dominant competitors in the 2019 Rumble putting out Kofi Kingston, Xavier Woods, Pete Dunne, and Jeff Hardy in an assist with Braun Strowman while lasting over 20 minutes. Eventually he was super kicked out by former ally Dolph Ziggler in what was a pretty surprising elimination as most would've figured he would've made it at least to the final four considering he was of the guys that was looked at as having a chance of winning that year. In 2020 there would be no stopping him. McIntyre immediately made a huge impact when he shortly upon entering claymore kicked Brock Lesnar (who had literally run through everyone in the first half of the match) over the top rope to eliminate him. McIntyre would continue to dominate the rest of the way as he eliminated Ricochet, Miz, King Corbin, Seth Rollins, and lastly Roman Reigns to win the match after 34:11 which was highest time that year. In 2022 he was back in the Rumble match and quickly eliminated both Madcap Moss and Happy Corbin whom had been responsible for McIntyre missing a little bit of time due to injury. It ended up coming down to Drew and the man he shockingly eliminated from the Rumble and then went to defeat for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania two years earlier, Brock Lesnar. Brock would end up getting the better of Drew this time as he eliminated him to win the match. McIntyre's ring time was 19:18. 2023 was another strong showing as he was in for close to 40 minutes, eliminated Karrion Kross, and teamed with his bud Sheamus to toss Otis and Elias before Gunther eliminated both of them at the same time by hoisting McIntyre over the top and into Sheamus who was on the apron. 2024 he made the final four after a late draw and eliminated Ricochet and Sami Zayn before being tossed by CM Punk after 9:52. 19. Seth "Freakin" Rollins-257 points (17) StatsRing Time: 160:52 Eliminations: 12 Assists: 4 Accomplishments2019 Royal Rumble Winner 2019 Iron Man Final Four (2021, 2023) Rollins has a good amount of success in Rumbles over the years. He had a strong run in 2014 as part of the Shield, lasting 48:31 from the #2 position. He also assisted in the eliminations of Rusev and Great Khali, and eliminated the much fresher #30 entrant, Rey Mysterio, by himself. Rollins wouldn't be in another Rumble for a while as he was in the title match in 2015, injured in 2016, and then pulled from 2017 for some reason after they did an angle on the Raw before where he lost his spot after losing a match to Sami Zayn when Triple H distracted him. In 2018 he was in for 18:48 while eliminating Cesaro and teaming with former partner Roman Reigns to Shield Bomb Miz out onto his Miztourage before Reigns double crossed him and threw him out. 2019 was his year as he eliminated Elias, Bobby Lashley, and lastly Braun Strowman to win the match. Rollins was also the Iron Man, posting a ring time of 43 minutes exactly. By the 2020 Rumble he had gone through a drastic attitude change from the previous couple of years, turning heel and calling himself the "Monday Night Messiah". Coming in at the most favorable position in #30, the Messiah would quickly utilize his disciples (Murphy and the Authors of Pain) to help him eliminate Aleister Black, Kevin Owens, and Samoa Joe. However after that the remaining participants would grow tired of that and all ganged up on him with Drew McIntyre then tossing him after 4:01. In 2021 he would once again get an excellent draw with #29. Rollins eliminated Daniel Bryan, Riddle, and Christian before getting eliminated by Edge in the second to last elimination after 8:48. In 2023 he eliminated Baron Corbin and Bobby Lashley and was in the final four before shockingly getting eliminated by Logan Paul after 37:18.

18. Rhea Ripley-260 points (16) StatsRing Time: 139:08 Eliminations: 18 Assists: 2 Accomplishments 2023 Royal Rumble Winner 2023 Iron Woman Most Eliminations (2021, 2023) 2021 Runner-Up Australian powerhouse has been a dominant force in all the Rumbles she has been in. As a rookie in 2019 she scored three eliminations by tossing Kacy Catanzaro, Dana Brooke, and Zelina Vega before getting backdropped out by Bayley after 7:55. 2021 was a super impressive showing as she eliminated seven while lasting close to 40 minutes in a runner up finish. 2022 was another very strong showing as she lasted for almost 31 minutes and eliminated Carmella, Queen Zelina, and Ivory while making the last five where she was eliminated by Charlotte. In 2023 she had the strongest overall showing up to that point in a Women's Rumble as she won the match by going coast to coast from the #1 position, setting the new women's record for most time spent in the match with 1:01:08 while also scoring another seven eliminations; leading the charge in the big elimination of Nia Jax and also taking out B-Fab, Chelsea Green, Michelle McCool, Raquel Rodriguez, Asuka, and lastly Liv Morgan whom had started the match with her at #2. 17. Brock Lesnar-263 points (15) StatsRing Time: 53:06 Eliminations: 32 Assists: 0 Accomplishments2003 Royal Rumble Winner 2022 Royal Rumble Winner Most Eliminations in a Rumble match (13 in 2020) Brock has been in seven Rumbles in his career (2003, 2016, 2017, 2020, 2022, and 2023) and won two of them. He won it in 2003 with it taking him 8:59 to do it after entering at #29. He eliminated both members of Team Angle not long after he entered the ring then eliminated Matt Hardy with an F5 out of the ring onto Team Angle who were still at ringside in a cool spot. Lesnar ended up sustaining the Undertaker's tombstone piledriver later on but recovered and eliminated Taker, who had just knocked the already eliminated Batista out of the ring with a chair, to win the match. He went onto to win the WWE Title from Kurt Angle at Wrestlemania. Lesnar wouldn't be in another Rumble for thirteen years as he left the company in 2004 and then after he returned in 2012 he was either in another match or just wasn't on the card at all from 2013 to 2015. He was in the 2016 one versus all match for Roman Reigns' WWE Championship. Lesnar was dominant in his time as he pummeled all the other guys in the ring with suplexes and strikes while eliminating Jack Swagger and all three Wyatt Family followers. Unfortunately for Brock all the Wyatt followers came back into the ring to save their leader Bray Wyatt from getting F5ed, and then all teamed up to dump Brock out in a cheap bs elimination. Lesnar was in for 8:13. In 2017 he laid waste to everyone in the ring and eliminated Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, and Enzo Amore. However Goldberg, who had always seemed to have Lesnar's number at the time, would enter next and foil Brock again as he nailed him with a spear and then clotheslined him out in just 4:30. In 2020 he entered the Rumble match while also choosing to come in at #1, making him the first man to voluntarily enter himself into a Rumble as a champion since the winner gets title shot at WrestleMania stip started in 1993. Why he did this and why was he allowed to do this I have no idea. I'm sure it was explained but I was so sick of Lesnar/Heyman at that point that I would just tune out everything that had to do with them. Predictably Lesnar would destroy everyone in the first half of the match, tossing them all in short order and making them look like jobbers. However a sneaky low blow from Ricochet would stun him long enough for eventual winner and Mania opponent Drew McIntyre to claymore kick him out of the ring after 26:24. Lesnar eliminated almost half of the participants in the match, taking out thirteen wrestlers and tying the record for most eliminations in a Rumble match. In 2022 despite losing the WWE Championship earlier in the night to Bobby Lashley he entered the Rumble as a surprise unannounced entrant in the big star loses a title match and then somehow is in the Rumble match and just happens to draw #30 spot trope that they do now a days that I hate so much. It's just so phony and makes no sense. Brock steamrolled all of the remaining five guys left in ring and eliminated all of them culminating with Drew McIntyre to I guess finally get his heat back from 2020 to win the match. He was only in the ring for 2:32 which is by far the shortest ring time for a Rumble winner. In 2023 he quickly took out Santos Escobar, Angelo Dawkins, and Chad Gable after entering before his rival, Lashley, entered next and in a bit of a surprise eliminated him after just 2:28.
