I thought this was interesting. Here's how each of them have fared at the Royal Rumble PPV over the years:

The Rock
2013 - Defeated CM Punk (WWE Championship)
2002 - Lost to Chris Jericho (WWE Undisputed Championship)
2001 - Lost Royal Rumble Match (Eliminated by Kane)
2000 - Won Royal Rumble Match (Entered #24)
1999 - Defeated Mankind (WWE Championship) "I Quit" Match
1998 - Lost Royal Rumble Match (Eliminated by Steve Austin)
1998 - Defeated Ken Shamrock (Intercontinental Championship)
1997 - Lost Royal Rumble Match (Eliminated by Mankind)

CM Punk
2013 - Lost to The Rock (WWE Championship)
2012 - Defeated Dolph Ziggler (WWE Championship)
2011 - Lost Royal Rumble Match (Eliminated by John Cena)
2010 - Lost Royal Rumble Match (Eliminated by Triple H)
2009 - Lost Royal Rumble Match (Eliminated by Big Show)
2008 - Lost Royal Rumble Match (Eliminated by Chavo Guerrero)
2007 - Lost Royal Rumble Match (Eliminated by Great Khali)

Well, it is an honour to be eliminated by the Wrestling Legend Chavo Guerrero

I don't think that Rock losing to Punk counts. The match was restarted. They didn't declare a rematch, although that might have been cooler.

So the only person Punk's ever beaten at the Rumble is Dolph Ziggler.

This comes as very little surprise.

Wasn't the Rock final 2 in '98 with Austin?

Ha. You're right. I missed that.
