Ranking All 28 WWE Royal Rumble Winners

24. Lex Luger €“ 1994

WrestleMania title shot: Lost to Yokozuna at WrestleMania X When you talk about Rumble winners who squandered their world title shot, Lex Luger has to be at the top of the list. Ignoring the backstage stories of Luger revealing that he was scheduled to win the title and thus losing his spot, the debacle that was the €™94 Rumble is a huge blemish on the event€™s overall history. As many know, Luger and Bret Hart were the last two in the €™94 Rumble, and they tumbled out of the ring together. Replays were €œinconclusive,€ so both men got title shots at WrestleMania X. Luger went first, while Hart faced his brother Owen in arguably the best Mania opening match in history. Luger lost by DQ for shoving guest referee Mr. Perfect, which has to be the worst world title match ending in WrestleMania history (save maybe for Cena versus Miz at WrestleMania XXVII).Luger would be shuffled down the card and leave WWF in mid-1995, kicking off the Monday Night War by appearing on the inaugural episode of WCW Nitro.
