7 Wrestlers Whose Last WWE Match Was The Royal Rumble

7. Daniel Puder

Daniel Puder isn't a name that will be all too familiar to younger members of the WWE Universe, but fans of WWE's Ruthless Aggression may well be forgiven for rolling their eyes upon remembering the shoot fighter with bleached blonde hair. Puder is best known for winning the $1,000,000 Tough Enough competition in 2004, a competition that saw The Miz finish second, Ryback get noticed for the first time, and The Boogeyman get disqualified for lying about his age.

Puder only had three matches in WWE, none of which painted him in the best light. The first saw Puder answer Kurt Angle's open challenge, a challenge that would have seen Puder break Angle's arm had referee Jimmy Korderas not realised what was happening and counted a quick three on Puder. The Tough Enough contestant had Angle locked in a Kimura Lock, creating a very awkward situation for all involved.

Puder's second appearance was a Dixie Dog Fight (don't ask) against The Miz at Armageddon 2004, a match that Puder won. His third and final appearance saw him enter the 2005 Royal Rumble at number three. Puder spent a miserable four minutes in the ring, getting brutalised by veterans Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, and Hardcore Holly, before being dumped over the top by Holly.
