10. 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 multiple times.

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 11 Rumbles, so he has a pretty good batting average when it comes to drawing #30.

As WWE has noted before, entering the Rumble last doesn’t guarantee that you will win. Three people have entered the Rumble last – Taker, John Cena (2008) and Triple H (2016) – and won, only one more than the number of winners from the #1 spot.
