407. Bastion Booger (401) Booger was supposed to be in 94 Rumble but ended up not showing up due to being "sick". Really he was just used to build suspense for Bret Hart's entrance. Hart had been injured earlier in the night and the announcers thought it was him that no showed at the number 25 spot. However, Hart would end up entering a few spots later with the announcers then saying that it was Booger who was the one who didn't show up.
406. Spike Dudley (400) Spike was supposed to enter the 2004 Rumble but ended up not making it to the match due to being attacked by the departing Kane who chokeslammed him on the ramp leaving him unable to compete.
405. No Way Jose (399) Jose nearly broke the record for shortest time in a Rumble match in 2019 when he was immediately clotheslined out by Samoa Joe in 2 seconds. Adding insult to injury he and his entire conga line were then pummeled in the aisle way by Drew McIntyre as he was making his way to the ring as the next entrant.
404. Mike Kanellis (398) Kanellis was another guy who also most broke the record for shortest time spent in a Rumble as he was clotheslined out by Mark Henry in the Great Royal Rumble in just 3 seconds.
403. Gillberg (397) The man they call Gillberg participated in the 99 Rumble. After he entered the ring, he started posing on the ropes and was dumped by Edge in just 7 seconds.
402. Tazz (396) Tazz made his lone Rumble appearance in 2001. He rushed the ring and was immeadiately grabbed by Kane, who put him on the top turnbuckle before knocking him off and out after just 10 seconds.
401. Epico (395) Epico had a pretty crappy showing in the 2012 Rumble as Mick Foley eliminated him with Mr. Socko after 11 seconds.
400. Tom Brandi (394) The former Sal Sincere was in the 98 Rumble. At the time he was actually getting a mild push and was involved in a mini feud with Marc Mero. Whatever push he had was gone after his poor showing in the Rumble as he was eliminated by Cactus Jack and Chainsaw Charlie in just 12 seconds.
399. The Sandman (393) Sandman was in the 07 Rumble. He starting hitting everybody with his singapore cane before King Booker got the better of him and tossed him out after just 15 seconds.
398. James Ellsworth (392) Ellsworth was in the 2017 Rumble. At first he wouldn't get in the ring out of fear for Braun Strowman who was standing tall. After being duped into entering by his former friend Dean Ambrose, Ellsworth was tossed by Strowman in brutal fashion after just 15 seconds.
397. Fake Razor Ramon (391) The fake Razor only lasted 17 seconds in the 97 Rumble before Ahmed Johnson easily eliminated him.
396. Enzo Amore (390) The Certified G didn't last long in the 2017 Rumble as he had the misfortune of entering when Brock Lesnar was standing tall in the ring. Lesnar clotheslined him and then tossed him in just 18 seconds.
395. Sylvan (389) Sylvan was in the 06 Rumble. He tried to sucker Bobby Lashley but it ended up backfiring as Lashley heaved him out in 19 seconds
394. Timothy Well (388) Well was in 95 Rumble as one half of the horrible Well Dunn tag team. Bulldog eliminated him in 23 seconds.
393. Squat Team #2 (387) Was eliminated in 24 seconds by Vader despite help from his already eliminated twin partner.
392. Adam Rose (386) Rose was in the 2015 Royal Rumble, getting tossed by Rusev in 24 seconds
391. Jamie Noble (385) Noble was in the 08 Rumble. Going in to the match he was involved in a love triangle storyline with Chuck Palumbo and Michelle McCool. He was going into the match with injured ribs which he suffered at the hands of Palumbo. Noble immediately went after Palumbo but was quickly overwhelmed and eliminated after 28 seconds.
390. Tyler Reks (384) Reks was in the 2011 Rumble. He had the misfortune of entering when there was just 4 members of Nexus in the ring. Not surprisingly, he was beat down and eliminated after 34 seconds.
389. Hiroko Sumi (383) Undoubtedly the most obscure Royal Rumble participant ever Sumi was in the 50 Man Greatest Royal Rumble match. There's almost no information anywhere about the guy. All that's known is that he's a former sumo wrestler from Japan who had no involvement in pro wrestling before the event and has had none since . Apparently the only reason he was in the match was because the Prince of Saudi Arabia, where the event was held, wanted Yokozuna (as well as Undertaker and Ultimate Warrior) obviously not being aware of the fact that Yokozuna had been dead for 18 years. Apparently they just dug this guy up as a compromise. Sumi only lasted 41 seconds before getting dumped by Mark Henry.
388. The Boogeyman (381) Boogeyman made his Royal Rumble in 2015 as a surprise entrant, as he never competed in one during his run in the mid 2000's. He only lasted 47 seconds, getting clotheslined and easily tossed by Bray Wyatt.
387. Viktor (380) One half of the Ascension tag team, Viktor was in the Greatest Royal Rumble match. Viktor was eliminated by Daniel Bryan in just 51 seconds.
386. Otis (NR) Someone who not that long ago seemed like a big possible breakout star, Otis has had a sharp decline over the last few months. His performance in this years Rumble showed how far he's fallen as after tossing everyone around he was dumped by King Corbin in just 53 seconds which was the shortest time this year.
385. Muhammad Hassan (379) One of the more controvrsial characters that's been in the WWE, Hassan hadn't made too many friends in the federation with his anti America rants. After entering the match everbody in the ring, both heel and face, ganged up on him and tossed him out after 54 seconds. Hassan didn't take it too well and decided to take his frusturations out on the entering Scotty 2 Hotty, attacking him in the aisle and putting him the dreaded camel clutch.
384. Ernest "The Cat" Miller (378) The Cat had a cup of coffee in the WWE. He still managed to get in the 04 Rumble. He entered with Benoit and Orton both down. Instead of taking advantage of this situation he just decided to dance which resulted in Orton throwing him out in 56 seconds.
383. Vickie Guerrero (377) Probably the most hated female personality in WWE history, the former Smackdown GM was in the 2018 Women's Rumble. Vickie's performance was what you would expect as she shouted "Excuse Me!" at the girls in the ring a bunch times before they eventually got annoyed and tossed her out in short order. Vickie did manage to get a parting shot in before leaving as she hit incoming entrant Carmella, who was mouthing off to her on her way to the ring, with her own Money in the Bank briefcase.

382. Simon Dean (376) Dean was in the 05 and 06 Rumbles. In 05 he spent his whole interval doing exercises outside the ring before the next entrant Shawn Michaels came out and beat him up before quickly eliminating him. 06 was another short stay as he was eliminated by Rey Mysterio and Triple H who he had foolishly tried to form a partnership with. His total ring time for 2 rumbles is only 1:05.
381. Rico (375) Rico was in the 04 Rumble. He actually got a decent amount of offense on Orton in his time in. Orton however used an RKO to put a stop to that before dumping him out after 1:06.
380. Squat Team 1 (374) Competed in 96 Rumble with his partner. Eliminated by Yokozuna in 1:11.
379. Psicosis (373) Competed in the 06 Rumble as a member of the Mexicools. He had a mini match with his old WCW/ECW nemesis Rey Mysterio, who eliminated him with a headscissors after 1:15.
378. Tyler Breeze (372) Prince Pretty's two Royal Rumble appearances were anything but. In 2016 he was eliminated in a minute after getting lifted up in fireman's carry by AJ Styles and then punched off Styles shoulders by Roman Reigns and falling over the top rope. In the Greatest Royal Rumble he was eliminated by Mojo Rawley in just 16 seconds.
377. Michael Cole (371) I know with the roster being so depleted by injuries that they were desperate for guys to fill out the Rumble in 2012, but did they really have to waste a spot on this guy? Cole got up from his commentary position to enter at #21. After avoiding everybody he was confronted by the next entrant, Kharma. The intimated Cole then jumped over the top to the apron to avoid her, but then was pulled off and eliminated by his brodcast partners for the night Booker T and Jerry Lawler after he lasted for 1:23.
376. Cibernetico (370) One of the AAA wrestlers in the 97 Rumble. He lasted 1:25 before Mis Mascaras eliminated him.
375. "Gigolo" Jimmy Del Ray (369) The Gigolo was in the 95 Rumble as part of the Heavenly Bodies. He was the first elimination that night as Bulldog got rid of him after 1:25.
374. Dash Wilder (368) One half of the tag team the Revival, Wilder competed in the Greatest Royal Rumble Match. Dash was only in for a minute and change before getting to have to be the guy to get pulled out from the outside by Hornswoggle.
373. Jacqueline (367) Hall of Famer made a surprise appearance in the 2018 Women's Rumble. Only lasted 1:27 before getting tossed by Nia Jax.
372. Latin Lover (365) Latin Lover was another of the AAA guys in the 97 Rumble. He was backdropped out by Faaroog after 1:47.
371. Drew Gulak (364) Competed in 50 Man Greatest Royal Rumble match. Gulak was eliminated in just 1:47 by Tucker Knight.
370. Hakushi (363) Hakushi started off as a promising heel. However by the time his of lone Rumble appearance in 96 he had turned face for some reason and ended up playing second fiddle in a team with Barry Horowitz. Pretty sad. Hakushi just lasted just under 2 minutes before Owen Hart dumped him out.
369. Max Moon (362) Moon was in the 93 Rumble. Lawler eliminated him in 1:56 after he missed a spin kick in the corner.

368. Dan Matha (361) Another in and out Greatest Royal Rumble guy. Tossed by Braun in 2:01. Martha only had one TV appearance in three years in NXT so his inclusion was pretty random. If not for Hiroko Sumi he would probably be the most obscure guy to be in a Rumble.
367. Aiden English (360) Aiden was in the 2018 Rumble, going just a little over 2 minutes before getting kicked off the second rope by Finn Balor and falling out.
366. Junkyard Dog (359) JYD was in the first Rumble in 1988 which had 20 men. Despite getting the best position by drawing number 20, he only lasted 2:08 before getting dumped out by "Outlaw" Ron Bass.
365. Elijah Burke (358) The future Pope had a brief appearance in the 08 Rumble. He entered the match late and was eliminated in 2:10 when Triple H threw Mick Foley into him causing both him and Foley to tumble out.
364. Bill DeMott (357) DeMott got a decent push in late 02/early 03 which led to him getting a spot in the 03 Rumble. He was pretty dominant in his short stay before Tommy Dreamer entered with kendo sticks. Dreamer and Edge attacked DeMott with the sticks before he went out after a shot from Edge. While going out he would injure his wrist after it got tangled in the ropes. DeMott ended up retiring shortly afterwards and would serve as a commentator on Velocity for a little while.
363. Konnor (356) Ascension member competed in the Greatest Royal Rumble match. Konnor fared a little better then his partner Viktor although he still didn't well by any means, getting dumped out in just 2:25.
362. Evan Bourne (355) Bourne made his only Rumble appearance in 2010. Like most that year his stay was short and unmemorable although he did get to do his shooting star press on Dolph Ziggler. He was eliminated by CM Punk in 2:26.
361. Saba Simba (354) Saba Simba was played by Tony Atlas who was a fairly big star in the company in the early/mid 80's. By the time he came back in 1990 he was in the twilight of his career and was saddled with the horrible Saba Simba gimmick. Simba appeared in the 91 Rumble, lasting 2:27 before being outsmarted and eliminated by Rick Martel.
360. Bull Buchanan/B-2 (353) Bull was in the 01 and 03 Rumbles. In 01, as a member of the Right to Censor, he was in for a little over 2 minutes before getting double teamed out by the Hardyz. Going into the 03 Rumble he had been teaming with John Cena as B-2. However on the Smackdown before the show Cena turned on him after a loss, injuring his shoulder in the process. In the Rumble the injured B-2 was easy prey as he was tossed by Edge in 24 seconds. This would end up being Bull's last appearance as he was released shortly afterwards which makes me wonder why they even had him in the match to begin with.
359. Boris Zhukov (352) Zhukov was in the first Rumble in 88. He was eliminated by Jake Roberts and Jim Brunzell in 2:33.
358. Col. Mustafa (351) Much better known as the Iron Sheik, he appeared in 92 Rumble for the vacant WWF Title. The way past his prime Sheik was dumped out fairly easily by Macho Man after 2:36.
357. "Rugged" Ronnie Garvin (350) A former NWA World Champion, Garvin didn't do too much in his WWF run. In his lone Rumble appearance in 89 he was eliminated by Andre the Giant with a hiplock after 2:39.
356. Omori (349) Omori was one of the many non roster nobodies that the WWF called upon to be in the 96 Rumble due to the lack of depth on their roster. Omori was in for 2:48 before getting eliminated by Jake Roberts.
355. Drew Carey (348) Carey was in the 01 Rumble. He wasn't supposed to be in the match as he was just at the show hoping to get advice from Mr. McMahon on how to do a good PPV as was about to do one in the coming weeks. McMahon duped him into entering the Rumble just to be a jerk. Drew quickly ended up getting in a confrontation with Kane. After refusing a bribe from Carey, Kane was about to chokeslam him. Fortunantely for Drew, Raven showed up as the next guy and saved him by hitting Kane with a kendo stick. Drew used this opportunity to wisely climb over the top rope and eliminate himself after 2:54.
354. Doug Gilbert (347) Gilbert apparently won a tournament for the USWA to get a spot in the 96 Rumble. He spent about his entire time in the match getting his ass handed to him by Vader who ended up eliminating him with press slam after 2:59.
353. The Blue Meanie (346) Blue Meanie was in the 99 Rumble. He was one of the many that were eliminated by Mabel that year as he was tossed after 2:59.

352. Paul London (345) London was in the 05 Rumble. He has probably had the nastiest elimination in the history of the match when Snitsky clotheslined him when he was on the apron into a back flip sell with London landing face first on the floor. It was so brutal that London had to be taken out on a stretcher.
351. "The Extraordinary Gentleman" Jack Gallagher (343) 205 Live star competed in the 2017 Rumble. He entered the ring with his umbrella and used it to attack all of the other guys in the ring with it. However when he tried to jump off the top rope and use it on Mark Henry, he was caught by the throat and heaved out of the ring for the first elimination of the match.
350. "The Natural" Butch Reed (342) Reed was one of the original 20 in first Royal Rumble in 88. He has the distinction of being the first elimination in the history of the match when Jake Roberts dumped him as he was trying to help the Hart Foundation eliminate Tito Santana.
349. Keith Lee (341) NXT star was in the 2020 Rumble. He was one of the few entrants in the first half of the Rumble not to get immediately buried by Brock. However he still didn't do well as Brock eventually eliminated him after 3:32.
348. Tyson Kidd (340) Competed in the 2011 and 2015 Rumbles. 011 was a pretty embarrassing performance as he entered with Cena and Hornswoggle in the ring and spent almost his whole time in the match taking moves and selling for the little guy. After taking an attitude adjustment and a mini attitude adjustment he was tossed by Cena in a little under a minute. 2015 wasn't anything to write home about either, as he was dumped by Daniel Bryan after just a little over 2 minutes.
347. Bushwhacker Luke (339) Luke is one of the worst Rumble competitors in the history of the match as he only has a total time of 3:24 in three appearances. Most of it is from his first Rumble in 89 when he went for 3:08. In 91 he had one of the more funnier eliminations. He went into the ring doing his Bushwhacker march but was tossed by Earthquake in 4 seconds. He really didn't seem to care as he just continued doing his march back to locker room as if nothing happened. 95 was another real short run as Shawn Michaels tossed him in 12 seconds.
346. Sin Cara (338) Competed in the 2013 Royal Rumble. He lasted for 3:27 before getting press slammed out by Ryback.
345. Kenzo Suzuki (337) Kenzo was in the 05 Rumble. He was eliminated by Mysterio with a headscissors in 3:31.
344. Dakota Kai (366) Dakota competed in the last two women's Rumble. She got the shaft pretty hard in both, as both were weak showings In 2020 she only lasted for 1:32 before getting dumped out by Chelsea Green. This year wasn't much better as she was tossed by Rhea Ripley after 2:06.
343. "The Funkasaurus" Brodus Clay (336) Brodus was in the 2013 Rumble. He was in for 3:47 before getting ganged up on and dumped out by five other wrestlers.
342. Nunzio (335) Nunzio was in the 04 Rumble. He refused to get in the ring after his number was called and spent a lot of time sitting on the outside. Eventually he was forced in by John Cena. He then fell victim to the spear of Goldberg who then him press slammed out after 3:48. Nunzio was supposed to be in the 05 Rumble but didn't make it as he was bullied into giving up his number by Kurt Angle in a backstage segment.
341. Tegan Nox (334) Tegan didn't do much in the 2020 women's Rumble, getting tossed by Shayna Baszler in 3:50.
340. Rick Steiner (333) The Dog Faced Gremlin competed in the 94 Rumble along with his brother Scott. The Steiners caught a big break when Rick drew #3 after Scott had drawn #1. They doubled teamed #2 entrant Samu who was eventually eliminated by Scott. Unlike like other teams (Demolition, Hardy Boyz) in this situation the Steiners, who were never known for their intelligence, actually played it smart by just waiting for the next guy to double team instead of fighting each other. Unfortunately Kwang would screw this strategy up by spraying Rick with his green mist. The blinded Rick was easy prey for the next entrant Owen Hart who eliminated him after 3:57.

339. Tiger Ali Singh (332) Tiger was in the 99 Rumble. He lasted 4:02 doing not much of note before getting tossed by Mabel.
338. Kenny Dykstra (331) Dykstra competed in the 07 Rumble at just the age of 20. At the time he was in a feud with Ric Flair which included him actually gaining a couple of wins over Flair. After Flair had been eliminated from the match by Edge, Dykstra stupidly decided to mock him by doing Flair's strut and ended up getting tossed by Edge as well after 4:05.
337. Alex Riley (330) The Miz's former apprentice made his Rumble debut in 2011. A-Ri was in for 2:50 before getting eliminated by Cena and Kofi in a botched spot where he was dumped to the apron but slipped off when he was supposed to hang. Apparently he was supposed to eliminate Cena later after a distraction from Miz who was on commentary however because of his screwup they had to call an audible with Miz just entering the ring and tossing Cena himself despite not even being in the match. A few months later, Riley would turn face after splitting up with Miz. In the 2012 Rumble, Riley drew #2, conveniently starting the match against Miz who had been forced into entering at #1. Riley would nearly eliminate his former boss, but got too overzealous and was lowbridged out after 1:15.
336. Daniel Puder (329) Puder earned a spot in the 05 Rumble by winning the Tough Enough competition. He spent his entire 4:09 getting chopped and beat up by Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, and Hardcore Holly before Holly eventually eliminated him. This was his only wrestling appearance after winning the contest as he was released shortly after.
335. Barry Horowitz (328) Horowitz is finishing high on the countdown for someone who spent almost his whole career looking up the lights. Horowitz was in the 96 Rumble. He was in the midst of the biggest push of his career after scoring a couple of upset wins over Skip the Bodydonna. Horowitz went for 4:15 before Owen Hart eliminated him.
334. Zack Ryder (327) Despite doing surprisingly well in standard battle royals throughout his career, the Long Island Iced Z didn't nowhere near as much luck in Royal Rumbles. All of his four appearances were short stays, with three of them being under a minute. 2010 was pretty much a burial for Ryder who up until that point was getting a fair push on ECW. He was tricked by CM Punk who hit him with a microphone then beat him up and eliminated him after 32 seconds. 011 was a little better as he surprisingly got a decent amount of offense on both Punk and Bryan but still only lasted 43 seconds before Bryan eliminated him with a hiptoss.
Ryder turned face later in the year and would become real over with the fans, thanks largely in part to his popular Youtube show Z True Long Island Story. Ryder was rewarded with a push, culminating in a US Title victory in December. Unfortunately for Ryder, the bottom would quickly fall out on his push as he would become a mere pawn in the crappy Cena/Kane feud leading to Kane "injuring" him and causing him to lose his title to Jack Swagger. As a result of the injury angle he couldn't compete in the Rumble match. With them being so desperate for guys in the Rumble that year due to the large amount of legit injuries to their roster I have no clue why they felt it was so necessary to do this injury angle, especially with a popular babyface. He was in the Rumble in 2013, getting RKOed and tossed by Orton after 2:34. He was in again in 2015 in a comeback match after being out for a few months due to injury. He was tossed by Bray Wyatt in just a little over 30 seconds.
333. Scotty 2 Hotty (326) Scotty was in the Rumbles from 2000 through 2002 as well as 2005. In 2000 did his dance number with his Too Cool buddies before Rikishi clotheslined him and Grandmaster Sexay then eliminated them. In 2001 he had the bad luck of coming in when just the Undertaker and Kane were in the ring. He was eliminated in under a minute after taking a double chokelslam. In 02 he was eliminated by DDP as he was attempting to do the worm on Christian. In 05 he never even made it to the ring as he was attacked in the aisle by the already eliminated Muhammad Hassan who put him in the camel clutch. His total ring time is 4:24.
332. Steven Dunn (325) The other half of the Well Dunn. Dunn was in for 4:29 before getting eliminated by Aldo Montoya.
331. Santana Garrett (NR) Seldom used NXT wrestler was a surprising admission into this years women's Rumble. She was eliminated by Rhea Ripley in 4:32.
330. Christopher Nowinski (324) Nowinski was in the 03 Rumble. He spent a lot of time on the outside as he just watched Jericho beat the crap of HBK. He would eventually get in and lasted 4:37 before Mysterio eliminated him with a headscissors. During his time in Nowinski was hit with a botched dropkick by Edge and suffered one of many concussions that would lead to his premature retirement later in the year.
329. Sgt. Slaughter (323) Sarge only competed in one Rumble in his long career. It was the 92 Rumble for the vacant WWF title. Slaughter had the sickest elimination of the night as he went out after a hard Irish Whip into the corner from Sid Justice after 4:37.
328. Lance Storm (322) Storm was in the 02 Rumble. He was in 4:46 before being eliminated by Al Snow after a battle on the apron.

327. Chelsea Green (321) Represented by her manager Tony Kha. . . er I meant Robert Stone, Chesea was in the 2020 women's Rumble. Chelsea quickly dumped out Dakota Kai but then was dumped out herself immediately afterwards by Alexa Bliss after just 12 seconds.
326. The Brian Kendrick (320) Kendrick was in the 09 Rumble. He immediately eliminated Kofi Kingston by pushing him as he was on the second rope but then foolishly celebrated by doing his stupid dance and was tossed by Triple H right after in just 15 seconds.
325. Ricardo Rodriguez (319) With Alberto Del Rio out with a groin injury, his personal ring announcer Ricardo stepped up to the plate and entered the 2012 Rumble. Coming down in a crappy beat up car, Ricardo surprisingly managed to eliminate Justin Gabriel in an assist with Mick Foley before getting tossed by Santino after 2:19.
324. The Great Kabuki (318) Kabuki was in the 94 Rumble in a one shot deal. He was one Mr. Fuji's hired guns to take out Lex Luger. Kabuki helped in the group elimination of Mabel but was then tossed by Luger after 2:46.
323. Darren Young (317) Competed in the 2013 Rumble as part of the Prime Time Players tag team with Titus O'Neil. Darren helped in the group elimination of Brodus Clay before getting lowbridged out by Kofi after 2:51.
322. Skinner (315) Skinner was in the 92 and 93 Rumbles. In 92 he was duped and eliminated by Rick Martel. In 93 he actually survived getting eliminated by Mr. Perfect by skinning the cat but Perfect then dropkicked him and eliminated him anyways when he got back in. His total time for two rumbles is 5:18.
321. Sabu (314) Sabu was in the 07 Rumble. He was eliminated in 5:27 by Kane who chokeslammed him through a table, that Sabu had set up during his entrance, from the apron.
320. Dr. Tom Prichard (313) Prichard was in the 95 Rumble as a member of the Heavenly Bodies. He was eliminated in 5:30 by Shawn Michaels.
319. Dan "The Beast" Severn (312) Severn was in the 99 Rumble. He spent the majority of his 5:43 fighting Steve Blackman before both him and Blackman were eliminated by Mabel.
318. B. Brian Blair (311) Blair was in the first Rumble in 1988 as a member of the Killer Bees. Blair was in for 5:50 before getting eliminated by the One Man Gang.
317. Barbatude (310) Polish giant was in the Greatest Royal Rumble match. Barbatude was eliminated by Bruan in a little under 6 minutes.
316. "The Perfect 10" Tye Dillinger (309) Tye made his main roster debut in the 2017 Rumble, conveniently entering at #10. He lasted for 5:27 before getting tossed by Braun Strowman. In 2018 he was supposed to be in the Rumble again drawing #10 again (yeah I'm sure) but was attacked backstage by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn (who both lost the World Title match earlier in the show) with the latter then taking his spot in the match. In the Greatest Royal Rumble he was tossed by Bruan in just 29 seconds

315. Kharma (308) Kharma became the third woman to enter a Royal Rumble, when she took part in the 2012 match. She was quite impressive in her short time in as she hit a implant buster on Dolph Ziggler and eliminated Hunico before Ziggler dumped her out from behind after 1 minute exactly.
314. El Torito (307) Los Matadores mascot was in the 2014 Rumble as a lame comedy entrant. He actually managed to eliminate Fandango with a springboard dropkick before Roman Reigns press slammed him out of the ring onto Fandango.
313. Yoshi Tatsu (306) Tatsu was in the 2010 and 2011 Rumbles. In 010 he was eliminated in only 29 seconds by Cena. He did much better in 011, going 5:35 before getting clotheslined out by Mark Henry.
312. Flash Funk (305) Funk was in the 97 Rumble. He had pretty cool elimination as Vader caught him then tossed him over his head with Funk clearing the top rope and plummeting all the way down to the floor without even touching the apron or anything to break his fall.
311. Mia Yim (304) Mia was in the 2020 women's Rumble, getting eliminated by Alexa Bliss in 6:30.
310. Adam Cole (303) NXT star was in the 2018 Rumble, sporting taped up ribs as a result of a NXT Takeover match the night before. Cole didn't do much, lasting 6:34 before getting headscissored out by Rey Mysterio.
309. Doink The Clown (302) Doink was in the 94 and 95 Rumbles. In 94 he was eliminated by Bam Bam Bigelow, his rival at the time, after a press slam to the floor in which it looked like he hurt his knee on the landing. In 95 he was eliminated by Kwang after a superkick as he was on the apron after 4:50.

308. Dominik Mysterio (NR) The son of Rey Mysterio was in this years Rumble. He scored an upset elimination of King Corbin before getting launched out by Bobby Lashley after 2 minutes exactly.
307. Primo (300) Despite being employed by WWE over a decade, Primo only made two Rumble appearances. In 2009 he was one half of the Tag Team Champs with his brother Carlito, but only Carlito participated in the Rumble match while Primo was left out for some reason. In 2011 he was so low on the card that he couldn't even make the cut for the 40 man Rumble match. After being on Superstars jobber duty for two years, Primo would finally catch a break when his cousin Epico was called up to the main roster to team with him in late 2011. The duo would quickly win the Tag Titles leading to both getting spots in the 2012 Rumble match. Primo lasted a little under 2 minutes before getting backdropped out by Mick Foley. Primo made an appearance in the Greatest Royal Rumble match, getting eliminated by Kurt Angle in 5:10.
306. Justin Gabriel (299) Gabriel was in the 2011 and 2012 Rumbles. In 011 he was eliminated by Danial Bryan in just 58 seconds after missing a 450 splash. In 012 he lasted 6:12 before getting eliminated by the unlikely combination of Mick Foley and Ricardo Rodriguez.
305. Kelly Kelly (298) Former Diva's Champion was in the 2018 and 2020 women's Rumbles. In 2018 Kelly was eliminated in 4:44 after Nia Jax fought off a piggy back sleeper attempt by tossing her off her back and over the top rope. In 2020 she was brought back again for another one time appearance to fill in for the injured Sasha Banks. Kelly lasted for 2:29 before getting taken out by Charlotte Flair.
304. Victoria (NR) Victoria made her first WWE appearance in twelve years as a surprise entrant in this years women's Rumble. She lasted a little over 7 minutes before getting choked out and eliminated by Shayna Baszler.
303. "Double J" Jeff Jarrett (297) Jarrett might be the biggest underachiever when it comes to performances in Rumbles. Despite being a good wrestler who was always pushed decently, all of the Rumbles he was in were short stays. He was pretty new to the federation when he made his Rumble debut in 94. You would think since that since he was such a new act that they had built up for weeks with vignettes, that they would give him a good showing to put him over. Instead he was eliminated by Randy Savage in just 1:19.
Jarrett wouldn't appear in another Rumble until 1998. For some reason him and his manager at the time Jim Cornette attacked Owen Hart when he was making his entrance. This would prove to be a mistake as Owen, who had been taken to the back, returned the favor on Jarrett before tossing him out in just 1:05. Jarrett had another short outing in the 99 Rumble, getting eliminated by Triple H in 3:39. Jarrett made a surprise appearance in the 2019 Rumble with the modern version of him, Elias, being #1. Elias asked to Jarrett to do a duet with him but turned on him and hit him with his guitar before tossing him out after just 1:20.
302. Tugboat/Typhoon (296) Competed in the 91 and 93 Rumbles. In 91 as Tugboat he drew #30. Surprisingly he would go after his friend Hulk Hogan and nearly eliminated him. The Hulkster however landed on the apron, then came back in and eliminated Tugboat after a little over 2 and a half minutes. In 93 he was Typhoon and was teaming with Earthquake as the Natural Disasters. The two partners would end up going at it with Typhoon once again getting the short end of the stick as Quake eliminated him after a little over 5 minutes after Typhoon missed a charge in the corner.
301. Jimmy Uso (295) 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.
300. Perry Saturn (293) Saturn was in the 01 and 02 Rumbles. In 01 he was eliminated by Kane and in 02 he was eliminated by Stone Cold. His total time for two Rumbles is 7:59.

299. King Kong Bundy (292) Bundy was in the 95 Rumble. He scored one of the quickest eliminations in the history of the match when he backdropped Mo of Men on a Mission out in just 4 seconds. He then got into a big man showdown with Mo's partner, the 500 pound Mabel. Mabel got the better of the exchange, eliminating Bundy in 3 minutes even.
298. Headshrinker Samu (291) Samu was in the 93 and 94 Rumbles. In 93 he was grabbed by the throat by the Undertaker who then threw the Headshrinker out in a nice elimination. In 94 he was double teamed by the Steiners and was eventually eliminated. His total time his 8:02.
297. Jillian Hall (NR) Aught's comedy heel women's wrestler was a surprise entrant this year. She would make an alliance with today's heel woman comedy wrestler, Billie Kay. The "Billie and Jillie" alliance would come to an end when Jillian started attacking the members of the Riott Squad whom Billie had unsuccessfully been trying to join. Jillian would then get eliminated by Billie after getting big booted off the apron.
296. Shane McMahon (290) Shane O' Mac was in Greatest Royal Rumble match. Shane was in for 8:07 before getting eliminated by Braun Strowman.
295. Maria Kanellis (289) Maria was in the 2019 Women's Rumble. She managed to stay in for over a bit over 8 minutes which was probably too long of a stay for her as she looked rough in her time in most notably in a very awkward and weird exchange with Alicia Fox and Alicia's hat that nobody seemed to know what to make of. Fox eventually eliminated her with a dropkick.
294. Mercedes Martinez (288) Mercedes was in the 2020 women's Rumble. She lasted for 8:14 before Fire and Desire gave her their running knee/legsweep combo and then tossed her out.
293. Mark Jindrak (287) Jindrak was in the 05 Rumble as one of Kurt Angle's goons along with Luther Reigns. Jindrak did alright lasting 8:15 before Kane threw him out.
292. Chad Gable (286) Gable was in the Greatest Royal Rumble match, getting tossed by Apollo Crews in 8:17.
291. Kalisto (285) The luchador who does lucha things competed in the 2017 Rumble. He lasted for 8:17 before getting launched out of the ring by Braun Strowman.
290. Grandmaster Sexay (284) Grandmaster was in the 2000 and 2001 Rumbles. In 2000 he lasted 7:42 before getting eliminated by his fellow member of Too Cool, Rikishi. In 2001 he only lasted 1:03 before Kane eliminated him by hitting him in the head with a trash can.
289. Mantaur (283) Considered by most as one of the worst characters ever in wrestling, Mantaur competed in the 95 Rumble. He lasted 8:51 which isn't bad at all when you take into account that the match only lasted a little over a half hour that year.
288. Raven (282) Raven was in the 01 Rumble. He went a decent 8:51 before Kane tossed him out.

287. Curt Hawkins (281) Hawkins who had a losing streak that reached 269 losses, unsurprisingly had short stays in the Greatest Royal Rumble (20 seconds) and the 2019 Rumble (little over 4 minutes). However what was surprising was the fact that he actually managed to score an elimination in the latter when he outsmarted Titus O'Neil and tossed him out. Unfortunately for Hawkins his joy would be short lived as Samoa Joe then tossed him immediately afterwards.
286. Chainz (280) Chainz of the DOA (Disciples of Apocalypse) was in the 98 Rumble. He lasted 4:56 and eliminated Goldust. He also had a cool elimination as Austin backdropped him out from one of the corners of the ring and he hit the steps face first on the way down.
285. Kevin Thorn (279) Thorn was in the 07 Rumble. He was in for 6:15 and took part in the group elimination of Viscera before getting eliminated by Benoit.
284. Bart Gunn (278) Gunn was in the 94, 95, and 97 Rumbles. He really didn't do much of note in any of them. In 94 he was eliminated by Diesel. In 95 he went at it a bit with his partner and "brother" Billy before both were eliminated by Crush. In 97 he was clotheslined out by Austin. His total time is 9:15.
283. Tajiri (276) Tajiri was in the 03 and 04 Rumbles. In 03 he was eliminated by Jericho after attempting to put him in the tarantula. In 04 actually managed to apply it on Mark Henry but Rhyno the hit Henry with the gore which broke it loose and caused Tajiri to fall to the floor. His total time is 9:20
282. Duke "The Dumpster" Drosse (275) Another Wrestlecrap inductee, Duke was in the 95 and 96 Rumbles. He did alright in 95, going for 8:13. 96 wasn't as good. Earlier in the night he won the right to be #30 after getting a fluke DQ win over Hunter Hearst Helmsley. His great position wouldn't help him much as he was eliminated in just 1:10 by Diesel and Kama.
281. Tommy Dreamer (274) Dreamer was in the 03, 07 and 08 Rumbles. He didn't last too long in any of them. In 03 he brought with him a bunch of weapons that ended up being used against him, as Jericho and Christian hit him with a conchairto with trashcan lids before tossing him. In 07 he was eliminated by Kane. In 08 he was eliminated by Batista. His total time is 9:37.
280. The Hurricane/Gregory Helms (277) The Hurricane has consistently been pretty terrible in Rumbles. With the exception of 2006 all of his other five appearances lasted only about a minute or less. In 02 he tried to double chokeslam Stone Cold and Triple H in a funny spot. He ended up getting tossed by the both of them in just 39 seconds. In 04 he was tossed in about 20 seconds by Matt Morgan and looked to nearly tear his ACL in the process. In 05 he was eliminated by Eddie Guerrero in 1:04. In 07, as just Gregory Helms, he had his best showing going 6:50 before being eliminated by King Booker. He was in the 2018 Rumble as a surprise entrant, looking in pretty rough shape. Just like old times he was eliminated in short order, as Cena fought off a chokeslam attempt and tossed him in under a minute. This year he was back again as a surprise entrant and had his usual showing, getting tossed in 30 seconds after trying the double chokeslam on Lashley and Big E.

279. Hilbilly Jim (272) Hilbilly was in the first Rumble in 88. He eliminated Jim Neidhart and lasted just under 6 minutes before getting dumped by the One Man Gang
278. Luther Reigns (271) Reigns was in the 05 Rumble. He was in for 7:13 and took part in the group elimination of Muhammad Hassan.
277. "The King" Harley Race (270) Race was in the Rumble in 88. He went a little over 10 minutes before getting knocked out by Don Muraco. He then got into confrontation with his then rival "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan on his way out.
276. Neville (269) The Man that Gravity Forgot had a decent showing in the 2016 Rumble, lasting for a little over 10 minutes before getting discuss clotheslined out by Luke Harper.
275. Adam Bomb (268) Bomb was in the 94 and 95 Rumbles. Both weren't anything special. In 94, after drawing #30, he was eliminated by Luger. In 95 he was eliminated by future Kronik partner Crush. His total time is 10:15.
274. Rosey (267) Rosey competed in the 03 Rumble as a member of 3 Minute Warning along with his cousin Jamal. Rosey did alright, going for 10:16 before getting backdropped out by Kane.
273. Pierroth (266) Pierroth was one of the AAA wrestlers in 97 Rumble. He lasted 10:32 before getting eliminated by Mil Mascaras.
272. William Regal (265) Regal has only been in three Rumbles in his long career in WWE. He never really did much in any of them. In 01 he surprisingly only lasted 2:01 before getting tossed by Test. He wouldn't be in another until 09 where he was eliminated by CM Punk in 4:32. He was then in the 2011 Rumble and it had looked like he had eliminated John Morrison. However, Morrison survived by using his awesome parkour spot. The befuddled Regal was then dumped from behind by Ted Dibiase after 4:10.
271. Kacy Catanzaro (264) 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.
270. Dory Funk Jr. (263) A legend in pro wrestling, Funk was in the 96 Rumble. He was eliminated in 10:53 by Savio Vega after a battle on the apron.

268. Chyna (261) 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.
267. Dick Murdoch (260) 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.
266. Roderick Strong (259) NXT star was in the Greatest Royal Rumble match. Strong eliminated Rhyno while lasting 6 minutes even.
265. Ahmed Johnson (258) 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.
264. Torrie Wilson (301) 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 this years Rumble, getting eliminated by Shayna in 3:59.
263. Tully Blanchard (256) 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.
262. Hornswoggle (254) 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 for god knows what reason. 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.
261. Pete Dunne (253) 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.
260. Luke Gallows (252) Gallows was in the 2020 and Greatest Royal Rumble matches. Total ring time is 11:16.
259. Jey Uso (251) Jey competed in the 2012 and 2014 Rumbles. His inclusion in 2012 was kind of surprising as the Usos were used pretty sparingly and were very low on the card back then. Even more surprising was the fact that he actually hung around awhile, getting tossed by Orton after 7:03, which was more then most that year. The Usos were getting pushed much more by the 2014 Rumble, as both of them were included in the match. Jey was in for 4:21 before getting double teamed by the Wyatt Family and eliminated by a big boot from Luke Harper.
258. The Warlord (250) 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 both of them. In both he was eliminated by Hogan again, although in 92 it was in a double team effort with Sid Justice.
257. Shotzi Blackheart (294) NXT star competed in last two women's Rumble. In 2020 she lasted a little shy of 8 minutes before getting eliminated by Shayna Baszler. This year she was eliminated first when Shayna put her out again after 3:46.
256. Scott Dawson (249) 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.

255. Tony Nese (248) 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.
254. Carlos Colon (247) 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.
253. Diamond Dallas Page (246) 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.
252. Erick Rowan (245) 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 yet always seems to do horrible and get eliminated in short order in everyone he's 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.
251. Road Warrior Animal (243) 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.
250. Super Crazy (242) 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.
249. Damien Demento (241) Demento had a surprisingly half way decent run in the 93 Rumble, lasting 12:27.
248. Droz (240) Droz was in the 99 Rumble, lasting a solid 12:30.

247. Alicia Fox (257) Competed in the 2019 women's Rumble after getting pulled the previous year due to injury. Alicia 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 this year 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.
246. Io Shirai (239) Highly regarded Japanese star competed in the 2019 Women's Rumble. After entering she quickly came to the rescue of her friend Kairi Sane who was being bullied around outside the ring by the Riott Squad after being eliminated. Shirai would go onto last for over 13 minutes before getting tossed by Nia Jax.
245. "Terrific" Terry Taylor/The Red Rooster (238) 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.
244. Trevor Murdoch (237) Murdoch was in the 06 Rumble. He was in for a solid 13:41 before HBK eliminated him.
243. Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake (236) The Barber lasted a solid 13:56 in his only Rumble appearance in 1989.

242. Mason Ryan (235) 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.
241. Bubba Ray Dudley (234) 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
240. "Ravishing" Rick Rude (233) 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.
239. Road Warrior Hawk (232) 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 immeadiately after by Rick Martel and Hercules after 6:37
238. "The Birdman" Koko B. Ware (231) 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.
237. Fandango (230) 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.
236. Paul Roma (229) 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.
235. Karl Anderson (228) 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.
234. JTG (227) 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.
233. Jonathan Coachman (226) 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.
232. Sam Houston (225) 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.
231. Ricochet (344) Ricochet was in the 2020 and 2021 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 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. This year he lasted over 11 minutes before getting chokeslammed by Kane onto the apron and eliminated.

229. Skull/Eli Blue (223) 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.

225. Aleister Black (218) 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.
224. Ezekiel Jackson (217) 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.
223. Maven (216) 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.
222. "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters (215) 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.
221. Eugene (214) Eugene was in the 06 Rumble. He surprisingly lasted for over 16 minutes before Benoit eliminated him.
220. Headbanger Mosh (213) 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.

219. Mil Mascaras (212) 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.
218. Jinder Mahal (211) The Modern Day Maharajah competed in the 2012, 2013, 2018, and 2019 Rumbles. In 2012 he got quite possibly the biggest non reaction in the history of the match. He lasted 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 mega 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.
217. Brie Bella (210) Accomplishments: Final Four (2018) Brie made her lone Rumble appearance in 2018. It was a in ring return for her after close to two years away due to injury and pregnancy. Brie took part in the group elimination of Nia Jax and teamed with twin sister Nikki to eliminate Sasha Banks. Both Bellas were in the final three against Asuka, but Nikki would turn on her sister and eliminate her after 11:49.
216. Rene Dupree (209) 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.
215. MVP (208) 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.
214. Matt Morgan (207) 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. Nontheless 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.
213. Nikolai Volkoff (206) 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.
212. "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock (205) 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.
211. "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman (204) 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.
210. Crash Holly (203) 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.
209. "Dangerous" Danny Davis (202) 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.
