Everyone might be wondering that it’s definitely Number 30 that is considered to be the luckiest and most likely to win a Royal Rumble match. But is that the case? Let’s find out!
Luckiest Entry Number to win a Royal Rumble match
No! It’s not number 30. But to everyone’s surprise, it’s number 27! Yes. The most Royal Rumble winners have entered the fight at number 27! There have been 4 instances when a participant entering at number 27 has gone to win the Rumble match. But who are they? Have a look:
Big John Studd
In the 1989 Royal Rumble event, Big John Studd defeated Ted DiBiase to become the first victor in a 30-man Royal Rumble match. It was at this time when the entrant number 27’s legacy began as Big John Studd had entered the Rumble at Number 27.
Yokuzona
Yokozuna’s Rumble victory in 1993 was remarkable since it was the first time the Rumble winner was given a WWF Championship bout in WrestleMania’s main event. The Hall of Famer entered the Rumble at Number 27 and later, went on to headline Wrestlemania for the first time.
Bret Hart
Bret Hart too entered the Royal Rumble match at Number 27 and was declared the winner of the Rumble match alongside Lex Lugar.
Stone Cold Steve Austin
Stone Cold Steve Austin, the fourth and most current winner of the Royal Rumble, was the 27th entrant in 2001. The Texas Rattlesnake holds the record for winning the Royal Rumble three times, which is an incredible feat. Yokozuna, Bret, and the others are more crucial too as everyone who won the Rumble at number 27, went on to win the WWF title at the grandest stages of them all, Wrestlemania.
