3. 12 Times Has the Winner Entered in the Final 5 Spots

While your potential winner may not want to enter in the teens, you’ll certainly want your predicted Superstar to show up near the very end of the Royal Rumble. 12 of the 29 times has the winner joined in the final five spots—Stone Cold Steve Austin, Yokozuna, Bret Hart, Batista (twice), Edge, Brock Lesnar, Triple H, John Cena, the Undertaker, and Alberto Del Rio.

Six others who have entered in the 20’s have won as well, making that 18 of the 29 winners coming out in the final third of the match. The most recent would be Triple H at No. 30 in 2016. He won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship as well.

So far, none of the Royal Rumble competitors have announced their spot they will enter next Sunday. However, if multiple big names are chosen for the final few spots of the match, then expect one of them to walk out as the winner.
