Ranking The Worst Performer In Every WWE Royal Rumble Match
15. 2013 - The Godfather
Lasted 0:05.
Opening strong with a genuinely shocking Chris Jericho comeback as he resumed a 2012 feud vs. Dolph Ziggler, the 2013 Royal Rumble got off to the strong start typical of modern Rumbles - and then staying true to its typical fashion, the steam quickly rolled down, a litany of midcarders entered the match alongside the favourable big players, and John Cena won to push him forward to an ostensible WWE title bout vs. the Rock at WrestleMania XXIX.
Whodathunkit?
Outside of Jericho's return, Goldust's first televised match in over two years, and soon-to-be NXT Champion Bo Dallas - who'd won an NXT-branded tournament to gain entry - only one other surprise entrant was featured in this Royal Rumble; of all people, the Godfather. It's a Royal Rumble shock lost to time, often going amiss during surprise entrant discourse. He lasted just five seconds, spending far longer sauntering down and back up the aisle, his purpose delivered. A pop.
