11 WWE Royal Rumble Statistics You Need To Know

9. Most #30 Entries

Unlike the #1 spot, the coveted #30 (or #20 or #40 depending on the year) entry into the Royal Rumble has been far more evenly distributed, with just two people drawing the last spot in the match. Big Show has drawn #30 twice: 2009 and 2012, but he has never won from that spot (or any other spot). However, the Undertaker has entered at #30 three times in his illustrious career: 1997, 2003 and 2007, when he won the Rumble. Taker has entered 10 Rumbles, so he has a pretty good batting average when it comes to drawing #30. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oYpmkR9tvc8 As WWE has noted before, entering the Rumble last doesn€™t guarantee that you will win. Two people have entered the Rumble last €“ Taker and John Cena in 2008 €“ and won, the same number of people who have done so from the #1 spot: Shawn Michaels in 1995 and Chris Benoit in 2004.
