Throughout the lists to this point, we've seen some unusual occurrences that would only happen once in a blue moon (see The Godfather's fact in the 2013 Rumble list). If you have an affinity for the weird and the unlikely, check this one out.

The Miz was the number one entrant in 2015. Not so unusual, right? Well, go back and look at the previous five Rumble matches and you'll see where the weirdness lies. The number ones from 2010 through 2015 were as follows: Dolph Ziggler in 2010, CM Punk in 2011, The Miz in 2012, Dolph Ziggler in 2013, CM Punk in 2014, and The Miz in 2015.

Talk about some extended Groundhog Day stuff. That odd streak was broken when Roman Reigns entered number one in 2016, which confirms what many fans seem to believe: Roman ruins everything.
