10 Best WWE Royal Rumble Performers (Who Never Won The Rumble)

4. Shayna Baszler

Daniel Bryan Greatest Royal Rumble

Unless Baszler’s booking becomes so frustrating that she leaves the company, the former MMA fighter will undoubtedly win the Rumble in due course, and could well do so this year. Typical of a true combat athlete, Baszler’s activity in the Rumble has thus far been the picture of efficiency.

She has eliminated 8 women in a single Rumble, a record among her peers. In her career she has eliminated just one fewer competitor than the record holder, Charlotte. Not only has Baszler managed this in a single match, she has managed all of this in less than five minutes.

Baszler may have spent less time in a Rumble than the average Undertaker entrance, but good Lord has she made her presence felt. She was nothing short of terrifying in 2020’s event, entering at number 30 and immediately ruining the days of everyone she came into contact with. She probably should have won.

With her grit, craft, and believability, Baszler has taken to pro wrestling as well as anyone, and her Royal Rumble aptitude is a perfect example of this. She finished second last time out - you wouldn’t bet against her going one better this time around.
