10 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble 2014 Facts
2. Batista Did What No Other Multi-Time Rumble Winner Has Done
And no, I don't mean, "Get booed the f--k out of Pittsburgh," because Cena's done that. Yeah, Batista's win made The Steel City angrier than any Tom Brady fourth-quarter comeback ever could, but that's not the fact that merits this entry.
Batista won the match from the number 28 position, the same number he'd won with nine years earlier. Of the seven men that have won multiple Royal Rumbles, Batista is the only man that has won with the same number more than once.
The man that came closest to matching that feat was Hulk Hogan, who won with 25 in 1990, and then 24 a year later. Two of Steve Austin's victories (1998 and 2001, to be precise) were close with 24 and 27, respectively.
