Since 1988, the WWE, formerly the World Wrestling Federation, has held the Royal Rumble pay-per-view event every January. This quiz compiles every entrant from the first Royal Rumble match all the way to 2025, including the women's Royal Rumble matches, and puts them all at your fingertips. How many entrants of the historic battle royal can you name?
Due to a hard limit on the number of rows per Jet Punk quiz, and in the interest of keeping the quiz in tact as much as possible, a format change was required. In this new format, entrants are listed only in the Royal Rumble in which they had their Royal Rumble debut. The only exception to this rule are winners, who appear in both their debut Royal Rumble and the rumble(s) they have won. Competitors are listed in order in which they entered the match. Matches are listed by the most recent in the leftmost column and descend from there, ending in 1988 at the bottom of the rightmost column.
EN = Entry Order, EL = Elimination Order, W = Winner. Notes: in 1994, there were two winners. 2011 had 40 competitors. 1988 had 20 and, as the first ever rumble, is the only match to be fully intact in this new format. The 2018 Women's Rumble is one entrant short, as she actually debuted in a Men's Royal Rumble. NE = No Entry. In several instances throughout the years and for a variety of reasons, wrestlers have had their number called and either failed to appear, or were prevented from entering the ring and therefore the match itself without a replacement. A few wrestlers debuted under lesser-known gimmicks/names before making appearances in their more famous gimmicks/characters. These competitors are listed in their debut rumble with their more famous moniker in brackets.
Alternate spellings may exist for some names that might be more difficult to spell.
