And for you completists, Chris Benoit has not been omitted. So there.
Have fun.

The scrollable chart below lists year-by-year stats for individual wrestlers. If you feel a particular performer is missing, they are listed under another gimmick (i.e. "Mabel" competed in more Rumble matches than "Viscera" so they are grouped together under the former moniker.)

Royal Rumble Trivia
: Since WWE implemented their brand extension in 2002, Smackdown performers have won the Royal Rumble a total of 5 time, while RAW performers have won the match 3 times.
































Royal Rumble Trivia: Despite years as one of the companies' top performers as "Razor Ramon," Scott Hall has never competed in the Royal Rumble. However, a "Fake Razor," portrayed by Rick Bogner, competed in the match in 1997.




























Royal Rumble Trivia: Both Charles Wright and Mick Foley have competed in the Royal Rumble match under four different personas; Wright as Papa Shango, Kama Mustafa, The Godfather and The Goodfather; Foley as Mankind, Cactus Jack, Dude Love and under his own name. Solafa Fatu and Glen Jacobs have each entered the match under three gimmicks; Fatu, The Sultan and Rikishi and Isaac Yankem D.D.S., "Fake Diesel," and Kane, respectively.

















Royal Rumble TriviaIt is often cited that the #27 entry position has produced the most Rumble victories -- Four Superstars have won from that position. Entry #24 has produced three winners, while entries #1 and #30 have produced two apiece (though one could argue that since entries #1 and #2 start the match together that there really is no difference in the positions. Rey Mysterio won the Rumble from the #2/#1 position in 2006.)
