20 Awesome WWE Royal Rumble Moments

4. Kofi Kingston: Human Highlight Reel (2012-14)

What€™s he going to do this year? There is absolutely no chance that he will win the 2015 Royal Rumble, but diehard wrestling fans will probably start wondering what stunt Kofi Kingston will pull off to stave off elimination. During the past three years, Kingston has become a magician when it comes to reappearing in the ring after he was thought to have been tossed. Picking just one moment wouldn€™t do Kofi justice €“ the full body of his work thus far warrants a high placement on this list. In 2012, Kingston did a handstand as Miz tried to push him out and walked on his hands to the ring steps and climbed back inside. The next year, he was dumped on the announce table and used JBL€™s chair as a pogo stick to hop back to the ring. And last year, Rusev deposited him on the barricade and Kofi was forced to channel his inner long-jumper and leap back to the ring apron. None of those descriptions do Kofi€™s feats justice, so it€™s probably best to just watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjDnFq8IsXs Even though Kingston has been mired in the midcard for years and is now saddled with a poorly executed stable, the New Day, he has produced some truly memorable, amazing Royal Rumble moments, and he will hopefully continue that trend this year.
