The Royal Rumble match has been both a launching pad for up comers and has had its fair share of already huge names win it over the past three decades, with many of them being among the greatest of all-time.
Many of these greats who have won the Royal Rumble match include Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Stone Cold Steve Austin, The Rock, Triple H, The Undertaker, John Cena, Randy Orton and many more.
Many of these greats have even won the match on multiple occasions. We have also seen some not as successful stars come out on top, like Hacksaw Jim Duggan, Big John Studd, Alberto Del Rio, and others, who have had successful careers in their own right but just didn't match up to the success of the many other Rumble winners.
With so many big names having won the match on multiple occasions, and other not as successful names having won it too, the amount of huge current and former WWE Superstars who have competed in the Royal Rumble match but never won it, is incredible.
And that is why I have decided to take a look at the top 15 biggest names in history to never win the Royal Rumble match.
Note: To be included in this list, the big name has to have appeared in at least one Royal Rumble match while they were a big name. These will also not necessarily be ranked in how big of a superstar they were.
#15 Kevin Nash
When you think about it, it is pretty surprising that Kevin Nash never won the Royal Rumble. During his mid-90's run in WWE as Diesel, he became one of the most successful superstars in company history at the time, and in such a short amount of time, won the WWE Tag Team, Intercontinental and WWE Championship just a couple months apart.
And of course, he also found incredible success in WCW as a founding member of the NWO and a four-time WCW Champion and nine-time Tag Team Champion.
Diesel made his Royal Rumble debut in 1994 and gave a very impressive showing of eliminating seven Superstars.
He was the reigning and defending WWE Champion the following year, and was the last superstar eliminated from the match by winner Shawn Michaels in 1996.
So really, if WWE wasn't so behind ol' HBK at the same time as Diesel's rise, we likely would have seen Big Daddy Cool be the last man standing in a Royal Rumble match.
