The final entrants have the highest chance of winning the match

The Royal Rumble match is one of the most prestigious ways to win a title shot, the winner of the match gets an assured title shot at the champion that too at the grandest stage, WrestleMania. Every year multiple stars try to win the match in order to catapult their career and headline Mania.

The Royal Rumble is a professional wrestling match that follows Battle Royal rules, where participants eliminate opponents by tossing them over the top rope. The match usually features 30 competitors, with two wrestlers starting, and new entrants joining every 90 seconds until all participants are in the ring.

The match is held at the WWE Royal Rumble PLE which is usually held in late January with the 2025 edition being an exception as it is being held in early February. The PLE initially featured only men’s Rumble match, the women’s match was added to the PLE in 2018 and since then the PLE has featured two Rumble matches.

The Rumble match is usually the main event of the PLE with some exceptions such as the 1988, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2006, 2013, and 2023 editions.

The Rumble match is a grueling, hour-long test of endurance that pushes contestants to their limits against fierce competition. Although some participants have successfully entered the match early and emerged victorious, history suggests that entering at number 30 can be a winning strategy.

Here we will take a look at such participants who entered the Rumble match at number 30 spot and managed to win the match.
