10 Worst WWE Royal Rumble Winners

What were they thinking?

The Royal Rumble is one of the marquee shows of the WWE calendar every year. WWE has placed a lot of stock into the event and the Royal Rumble is the unofficial kickoff of the road to Wrestlemania. Many times, storylines that begin at the Royal Rumble event carry over onto the biggest show of the year and fans have every reason in the world to be excited. However, not every year produces a Rumble winner who the fans embrace. Many times, WWE books a winner who makes absolutely no sense or is someone that the fans do not see as a main event guy. With the Rumble being held in very high regards, fans expect major players to be involved in the finish and emerge as the ultimate victors. Guys like Kurt Angle, CM Punk, Chris Jericho, and Randy Savage never won Royal Rumbles but somehow the members of our list did. They have been included for numerous reasons: Either they were too low on the card to justify the Rumble win, they didn't connect with fans after their victory, the match itself was terrible, or the booking was so stupid that the fans hated it. With Roman Reigns having ticked off a large portion of the audience with his win at the 2015 Rumble, we thought we would present you with the worst Rumble winners in history.
