10 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble 2015 Facts
6. It Was Bubba Ray Dudley's First Ever Rumble Match
If I had told you upon the Dudley Boyz' WWE debut in August 1999 that both Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley would spend six years with the company, followed by nine years in a company that did not yet exist, and then (and only then) would one of the two finally take part in a Royal Rumble match, would you have believed me?
After working the undercards of the 2000 through 2004 Rumble events, it wasn't until 2015 that Bubba Ray got a taste of the Royal Rumble match itself. By that point, Bubba was 43 years old, and had reigned several times as TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Nonetheless, his return to his old Philly stomping grounds was one of few highlights for that particular fray.
