10 Incredible WWE Royal Rumble Facts & Figures You Need To Know
3. Lucky Numbers
For the longest time, the #27 was synonymous with luck in
the Royal Rumble. After all, that spot yielded four winners in the first 13
Rumbles.
However, no one has won from the #27 position since “Stone Cold” Steve Austin won the 2001 Rumble from that spot. Since then, four men have won as the #30 entrant (including Brock Lesnar last year), tying #27 for the most popular winning number. The #1 and #24 slots are the next most-successful, with three winners coming from each entry.
For the women, only #28 has produced multiple winners, with the 2019 and 2022 Rumble winners coming from that spot.
Given how sentimental Cody Rhodes is, no one would be
shocked if he entered and won the Rumble from the vaunted #27 spot, which would
be the first winner from that “lucky” number in 22 years.
