What is the Royal Rumbler's greatest moment?
Sunday, January 29, 2017
We
are just merely hours away from the 2017 Rumble, as thirty WWE
Superstars vie to win a spot to headline this year’s WrestleMania.
Earlier in the week we listed the first part of
our top twenty moments from the Royal Rumble’s illustrious history and
now we present to you part two, and the very best moments since it’s
inception in 1988.
So before AJ and Cena tear the house down, Owens and Reigns throw-up
yet more Universal Championship chaos and a new Royal Rumble winner is
declared, feast yourself on Gorilla Position’s guide to the very best
the event has to offer.
10 Wonder Women (1999)
We’ve become a custom to the women of WWE shattering the glass celling’s in
the last eighteen months, but back in 1999 it was a whole different
story. The women’s division had a completely different feel and agenda
back in the ‘Attitude Era’ - except that is, for one lady whose name
goes down in Royal Rumble history. Chyna became the first female to
enter the Rumble during 1999’s event, joining proceedings at number 30
and even dumped out Mark Henry, before Stone Cold Steve Austin ended the
history-making moment. In later years Beth Phoenix repeated the feat,
when she competed in the 2010 event.
