WWE Royal Rumble 2016: 10 New Records It Could Create

8. Luckiest Number (24)

With 27 Royal Rumbles (and 28 different winning performances) in the books, trends have emerged. Certain numbers have been established as unlucky (only four winners, for instance, have come from the 10-20 range) and others as lucky (1, 2, 22, 24, 27, 28, 29, and 30 have all boasted multiple victors). While lucky skews toward the later draws, it's not #30 that boasts the most winners - it's number 27, which has produced a record four of the last men standing. Still, #24 is hot on its heels with three winners - and while #24 has been cold since The Rock's win in 2000, a winner emerging from that spot this year would put 24 on equal footing with hallowed #27.
