5 superstars with standout performances in men's Royal Rumble 2018 match
30 men enter the Royal Rumble, but only one man can claim victory—unless it's 1994, but that doesn't count.
Despite this, there are always at least a few other wrestlers who manage to put on a good enough and impressive showing even though they weren't able to be the last man standing.
This could be due to all sorts of different things from the quality of their in-ring skills to the feats they accomplish during the match with eliminations, duration and more.
Now that the 2018 Royal Rumble is in the bag, let's take a look at five of the Superstars who were able to steal the spotlight in their own way.
#5 Heath Slater
It sounds ridiculous to put someone who lasted less than a minute, but while he has none of the accolades the rest of this list can attest to, that doesn't mean he didn't leave his mark.
Regardless of his loss, it's actually his overall terrible performance itself that made him stand out since he was a major focal point for the beginning of the match with every entrant attacking him in some fashion during the entrances.
Just for irony's sake and a bit of karma, perhaps, Heath Slater managed to turn this around and score the quickest elimination of the night when he took Sheamus out of the match in what appears to be a mere two seconds, although a backstage video had Slater claiming it was 0.8 seconds.
That is nearly a new record and it could have just as easily been given to a bigger name like John Cena or Randy Orton, but it was the guy everybody picked on who pulled out that achievement and managed to be entertaining in getting beaten down just the same.
