15 WWE Wrestlers You're Most Likely To Find In A Royal Rumble
7. Cody Rhodes - 2:41:33
Perhaps the most surprising superstar in this list is Cody Rhodes, who survived over two and a half hours in just five appearances, and has eliminated 12 men in the process. His most successful Rumble came in 2009 in the midst of Randy Ortons transformation into the Apex Predator. Just six days after Orton punted Mr McMahon in the head, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase entered the Royal Rumble with the sole purpose of helping their mentor claim victory. Rhodes last an impressive 37:01 and finished in third place as Triple H eliminated him. It was great exposure for the young superstar and was a clear indicator of how much talent the second generation star had. He lasted even longer in 2012, chalking up 42 minutes of action and eliminating six superstars before falling victim to The Big Show.
