Aside from the annual Royal Rumble, WWE has held Rumble matches on several occasions, the most obvious being the 'Greatest Royal Rumble', but there are others. Off the top of my head:
The MSG Rumble, 1994
SmackDown 15-man Rumble, 2004
...OK, I feel like there are more. Any others to add to the list? I figured it would be fun to watch a few of these in the run-up to the Rumble this year.
Since a lot of us might not be aware of the matches or have forgotten their outcomes, please spoiler any winners or key match results!

I remember one on Shotgun Saturday Night in like '97, but that may have just been a battle royal. Haven't seen it since it aired.

There’s a forgotten Royal Rumble held in Osaka Japan also from 1994. I believe it’s up on YouTube. A mix of Japanese and WWF wrestlers is a pretty cool sight. Edit: Here’s the show and it’s an 18 man rumble youtu.be/NHH6jrta9wA |

There was a tag team one in 1998.
And a 7 man one night after the 2011 Rumble.
Also very forgotten? ECW did a Royal Rumble match in 1998-ish called iirc The King of the Hill match?
And WCW did one in 2000 on Thunder.

Edit: Here’s the show and it’s an 18 man rumble youtu.be/NHH6jrta9wANice! I never heard of this, this is exactly the sort of thing I was hoping might be unearthed in this thread. Thanks for the link, too! |

There was a 5 man Rumble in 1999 Great seeing the Undertaker in his short-lived Ministry to Badass transition. This must be one of the only matches he had in this guise? |

I thought I'd share this, which I watched earlier. Really recommend checking this out if you've never seen it, especially for.... {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW}
It boils down to Eddie and Angle who treat us to an extended battle that includes some unique and creative near-elimination spots (e.g. Kurt dumps Eddie on the ropes in the Ankle Lock so he only has one way out - over the top!) |

The mini rumble with Hornswoggle and mini impersonators DX/Corporate Rumble for number 30 Cena/Lawler/Sheamus for a wwe title shot The Mini Rumble is one of my guilty pleasures. They do full regular entrances for all the impersonator. JR: "That's a rather thick.....ah....Mini Batista there" |
