On January 29, 2022, at the 35th Royal Rumble pay-per-view, 30 men and women will fight it out in the marquee event to cement their place in the main event of WrestleMania 38. It will be a tremendous watch, which the WWE Universe won't miss.

With that being said, over the years, WWE has also seen some extraordinarily talented large athletes compete in the Rumble, albeit not triumphing. In this article, we look at the five greatest big men in WWE who have never won The Royal Rumble:

WWE Hall of Famer, the late Andre The Giant, was one of the biggest superstars to step foot in the squared circle.
Standing at seven-feet tall, he was referred to as The Eighth Wonder of the World. The giant participated in two Royal Rumble matches in 1989 and 1990 but didn't win the event.
In 1989, he eliminated himself out of fear of Jake Roberts' snake after lasting a good 15 minutes in the ring. In the 1990 event, he was eliminated by the WWE faction Demolition.
