Ranking The Worst Performer In Every WWE Royal Rumble Match
12. 2016 - Jack Swagger
Lasted 0:15.
AJ Styles debuted for WWE!
Sami Zayn was up from NXT to feud with Kevin Owens!
Brock Lesnar was on a rampage!
For all the hate that the bout gets, there was a lot to enjoy from the typically divisive 2016 Royal Rumble match in lieu of Triple H returning to win the whole thing, the WWE World Heavyweight title, and the headline spot of WrestleMania 32.
As part of Lesnar's path of destruction, he dumped out four unsuspecting challengers; Luke Harper, Erick Rowan, and Braun Strowman of the Wyatt Family to continue that feud, and, for some bizarre reason, Jack Swagger. The 'Big Hurt' was the second of the four eliminations made by Brock, ending his final Royal Rumble run at 15 seconds. He was gone by May, never again to resurface on North American wrestling television until the launch of All Elite Wrestling, where he discovered an admiration for purple bucket hats.
