10 WWE Royal Rumble Entrants NOBODY Wanted

10. Hornswoggle (2011)

Picture the scene: John Cena and CM Punk are working a double down spot after going back-and-forth. Suddenly, the 2011 Rumble's 23rd entrant is about to run on down and take advantage. Who is it? It's...it's...Hornswoggle?! Yes, that's right - lil' Horny was picked for the worst possible moment in the match.

WWE were going for comedy relief here, clearly, but nobody in attendance wanted it. They were choking to see somebody big time stroll out and make an impact on the match. Instead, they got Hornswoggle teaming up with Cena to run through some of his familiar spots, and the wee man lasted over 10 minutes in the Rumble after that.

Sheamus earned polite cheers for smashing Hornswoggle with a boot that sent him tumbling to the ringside mats, which says it all. Even young kids (the character's target demographic) must've been deflated when he came out mid-Punk vs. Cena. This was a real missed opportunity.
