9 Unofficial WWE Royal Rumbles

WWE's premier weekly TV show only had to wait a further six months before it got its second taste of the Royal Rumble, this one taking in place in January 1999 - less than two weeks before the pay-per-view of the same name in Anaheim.

And it's notable for a few reasons, the first being that it is the only match of its kind to date whose line-up has been drawn exclusively from the ranks of two stables, namely The Corporation and D-Generation X.

On top of that, it's also the only mixed-gender Rumble that has been won by a female. Chyna landed herself the victory - and, in turn, the number 30 spot in the real thing later that month - after eliminating Vince McMahon of all people in the climactic sequence.

Unfortunately, the Ninth Wonder of the World, and DX as a whole, would subsequently fall victim to WWE's famed penchant for 50/50 booking. It was the chairman of the board left standing in the ring when it really mattered (though thankfully he didn't go on to headline WrestleMania).
