8 WWE Superstars Who Were Never Eliminated From The Royal Rumble

To say Scott Taylor was a terrific in-ring technician would be an overstatement, but as part of Too Cool, the visor-wearing break-dancer helped create many memories in WWE. Unfortunately, some of those memories came at the cost of his humiliation, especially during Royal Rumble matches.

In 2001, he tried to fight the Brothers of Destruction. ‘Taker and Kane played Pong with Hotty’s face until eliminating him in about 40 seconds.

In 2002, the crowd popped for Maven as he delivered a sneaky dropkick to The Undertaker and eliminated him from the Rumble match. During this stage of his career, ‘Big Evil’ was a bit of a poor sport, which was exemplified when he absolutely destroyed the original Tough Enough winner for his accomplishment. In the midst of the slugfest, Scotty 2 Hotty came dancing down the ramp, as though he had nothing to worry about. An irked Deadman dropped what he was doing to clock the master of ‘The Worm’ out cold during his entrance. Although he lasted less than three minutes in the match, Hotty did manage to slip back into the Rumble.

He wasn’t so lucky in 2005, though, which was his last chance to shine in the Rumble match. An eight-man melee broke out in the ring, as both babyfaces and heels united to eliminate Muhammad Hassan. Too entranced by his own dance moves, Hotty never noticed any of this happening. An irate Hassan made his way to the back, but not before he wrecked the former Tag Team Champion on his way to the ring. While he was never thrown over the top ropes, he never returned to the match either. WWE quietly moved on to entrant #16, and Batista only had to outlast 28 other superstars.
