#5 Saved by a Rose
At the most recent Royal Rumble in 2015, Kofi came in as the No. 17 entrant but almost immediately found himself in trouble at the hands of Rusev. In fact, Rusev appeared to have Kingston eliminated before the next man – Adam Rose – got into the ring.
But at the time, Rose was still traveling with his Rosebuds party group, and Kofi landed on top of the dozen or so costumed characters. The Rosebuds toted him around the ring and placed him safely back on the apron, only to be eliminated a few moments later by Rusev.
