Who would have thought that one of the luckiest positions you can snag when drawing your Royal Rumble number isn't actually a number at all, but the spot after Triple H?

The first instance of this took place at the 2006 Royal Rumble where Hunter and Rey Mysterio started off the match, and the masked luchador managed to make it all the way until the end. 2008 saw just about the exact opposite. With Triple H coming in fresh at #29, he looked set to clean up the match. That's when John Cena happened. The Champ came at #30 and managed to walk out heading into the WrestleMania main event. Finally, 2009 saw The Game enter into the Rumble at #7. Randy Orton walked out the winner of that match, and you probably guessed it: he entered the match at #8. Considering Triple H still seems to see himself an active wrestler, this could actually happen again.

Interestingly, Triple H still went on to compete for a world championship at each one of these years’ WrestleManias…
