A total of ten different men won the Royal Rumble match on their very first attempt.

They are: Hacksaw Jim Duggan (1988), Big John Studd (1989), Ric Flair (1992), Yokozuna (1993), Lex Luger (1994), Vince McMahon (1999), Brock Lesnar (2003), Chris Benoit (2004), Alberto Del Rio (2011) and Shinsuke Nakamura (2018).

Asuka won the Rumble on her first attempt as well, though as it was the first women's version, it's not really statistically significant.
