10 WWE Royal Rumble Records That Will Never Be Broken

10. Co-Winners

Recordholder: Bret and Lex Luger, 1994

The Royal Rumble is predicated on the idea that one person wins and then has the opportunity to challenge the champion of their choice at WrestleMania. It can be a star-making moment.

But in 1994, WWF booked a finish never seen before and not seen since: Bret Hart and Lex Luger were the last two wrestlers, tumbled out together and “tied.” This led to a convoluted situation involving a coin flip to determine which wrestler challenged first, and which had to fight in a preliminary match.

This resulted in a classic WrestleMania match between Bret and brother Owen Hart, but the decision to book two winners was derided. WWE almost had a repeat in 2005 when John Cena and Batista fell out of the ring simultaneously, though that was accidental. That Rumble was restarted, allowing Batista to win.

While it very well could happen again, this is pretty unlikely to be repeated. Given the proliferation of cell phone cameras at ringside, you could just imagine the videos showing someone's feet touching first and undercutting WWE's angle (something that didn't exist in 1994). Though with Vince McMahon’s applesauce brain, there’s always the chance he could go back to this dry well.
