10 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble 2014 Facts
10. Billy Gunn Won His Eleventh Tag Team Championship
The Rumble pre-show was odd placement for a tag team match that had notable implications. The New Age Outlaws, parlaying a nostalgic return into a short term gig, defeated Cody Rhodes and Goldust in the event's Kickoff match, capturing the Tag Team belts in the process.

With the win, Billy Gunn notched his eleventh Tag Team title under the WWE header, and his sixth with Road Dogg. Previously, he'd won three with kayfabe brother Bart Gunn, and two with Chuck Palumbo.
The win also made Gunn one of only three men to have WWE Tag Team title reigns that totaled into the double digits. Edge has the most of all time with 14, while Gunn would tie eventual WrestleMania 30 tag team partner Kane at eleven.
