Putting aside the unpredictability, surprising returns and high stakes, it's arguably the final four that can make or break a Royal Rumble match. Thirty superstars enter the ring at 90 second intervals, but in the end, a mere four men remain. They stand on opposite sides of the ring and exchange glances at each other, realising what hangs in the balance: a shot at the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the main event of WrestleMania.

This is where the anticipation to crown a Rumble winner starts to set in.

It's the most integral part of the bout, as what happens during its culmination will be what fans remember most. From two wrestlers being deemed the victor, to ultimate underdogs overcoming the odds, to icons contesting minor classics, fans have seen their fair share of epic endings to Rumble matches over the last thirty years.

Only an elite few can be considered the greatest of all-time, though.
