15 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble Facts You Need To Know

13. D-Von Dudley Has Never Been a Rumble Entrant

Up until 2015, you could say the same thing about kayfabe half-brother Bubba Ray. Bubba's outsider entry into the 2015 Rumble cleared his name off of a fairly surprising list of long-time WWE performers that, whatever the circumstances, never participated in the big January gauntlet. That leaves D-Von to do the same. During the Dudley Boyz' first go-around from 1999 to 2005, the furniture-wreckers participated in tag team matches at five straight Royal Rumble pay-per-views. These included a memorable 'table match' at the 2000 edition with the Hardy Boyz in Madison Square Garden, as well as a quality opener over Edge and Christian the following year, in which Bubba and D-Von began yet another of their many WWF World Tag Team title reigns. But through it all, D-Von has yet to hit the ring at the sound of a buzzer.
