By making it to the 2017 final four, Reigns was the tenth man to have reached that stage of the match on four or more occasions. He joins Randy Orton, Kane, Steve Austin, Shawn Michaels, Triple H, Batista, John Cena, Big Show, and Sheamus with a quartet of finale appearances.

Reigns, however, is the only man to have reached that group in four consecutive Rumbles. Austin, Michaels, and Sheamus have each done three in a row, but never four, like Reigns did from 2014-17.

He also reached the final three in each instance, as the winner in 2015, the runner-up in 2014 and 2017, and the third-place finisher in 2016. You can safely bet that Reigns will make it five in a row in 2018, and though you may complain, you're gonna keep watching, aren't ya? Yeah, you are.
