30 Most WTF Moments In WWE Royal Rumble History

28. Jerry Lawler Hides Under The Ring (1996)

Jerry Lawler entered the 1996 Rumble at #4 and, after a few minutes of wrestling, Jake "The Snake" Roberts then came in, accompanied by his gigantic python Damien. Roberts dragged Lawler into the middle of the ring and let Damien slither all over him as everyone else exited under the bottom rope. After the smoke cleared, Lawler was mysteriously nowhere to be seen. Later in the match, however, the cameras spotted King hiding under the ring, and after Shawn Michaels entered the Rumble, he decided to pull Lawler out from under the ring, dragging him against his will back out into the open. He then threw him into the ring and eliminated him with a single punch to the face, sending him flying to the outside. Props to King, though: he lasted an impressive 36:02, even if it was by nefarious means.
