The 2017 Royal Rumble is remembered for several things. Firstly, it'd be the final WWE Rumble event to exclusively feature a 30-man match (women joined in on the fun come 2018). Second, The Undertaker went face to face with Goldberg. Third, Randy Orton won the thing to punch his ticket to WrestleMania 33 and a wonky clash vs. Bray Wyatt.

There are several other full Rumbles available on WWE's YouTube channel, but none of them come close to the 2017 version in terms of overall numbers. 159 million views is incredible, especially when placed next to the 127m views the next best Rumble from 2020 currently has. Yet another reason for Drew McIntyre to be p*ssed.

Only kidding.

WWE went with a thumbnail of Braun Strowman clotheslining Big Show to sell it too, and that...worked. Yep, people were right into burly Braun a good few years back. Then someone had to go and ruin his momentum with those darn train noises. Choo choo!
