10 Best Surprise Entrants In Royal Rumble History

8. Kharma - 2012

Much was made of Kharma's epic debut in World Wrestling Entertainment in 2011. After destroying both Michelle McCool and Layla, she focused her attention on the Bella Twins. Their rivalry became intensely personal, especially after Brie and Nikki began picking on the newly pregnant Diva. No one was quite sure when the physically imposing Kharma would return from maternal leave but everyone knew she would make the Bellas pay for their harsh words and treatment. Things did not go as planned, though, as Kharma made a surprise return at the 2012 Royal Rumble, becoming only the third woman to ever enter the contest. After scaring Michael Cole straight, she flattened Dolph Ziggler with the Implant Buster. Sure, she was ultimately eliminated by the Showoff, but only after he put her offense over with his unparalleled bumping. It was the last time the fans of WWE would ever see Kharma. Despite plans appearing so enormous for her future with the company, issues with her personal life led to a mutual parting of ways between she and Vince McMahon's wrestling empire.
