15 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble Facts You Need To Know

4. Seven Men Have Entered Number One More Than Once

Piggybacking the point made in the prior entry, we already know that Ziggler, Punk, and Miz each have been a Rumble starter twice. The fact that four other wrestlers have done the same thing does stretch the bounds of credibility a tad. After all, when out of 28 Rumbles, fourteen of them have kicked off with one of seven men as number one, that seems a wee bit unrealistic. The remainder of the list includes Bret Hart (1988 and 1991), Ric Flair (1993 and 2007), Shawn Michaels (1995 and 2003), and Triple H (1996 and 2006). In virtually every case, you can argue that putting a world-class worker in first ensures someone can expertly lead a chaotic, multi-layered match, and every name on this list (excepting Miz) has shown that capability.
