15 Most Surprising WWE Royal Rumble Entrants Of All Time

12. Roddy Piper And Jimmy Snuka (2008)

WWE

The 2008 Royal Rumble took place in the hallowed halls of Madison Square Garden. The Garden has been WWE's unofficial home base for many years, so any time a pay-per-view takes place in the World's Most Famous Arena, it's special. The 2008 Rumble was no exception, as it featured a couple surprise entrants who turned back the clock.

Jimmy Snuka appeared at number 18, drawing a big pop from the crowd. Piper trotted out to the sound of bagpipes next, and the Garden exploded. The two traded strikes before being eliminated by Kane, but it was nice to see the two legends who had one of the most famous encounters in WWE history compete one more time at the Garden.
