5 of the Greatest Surprise Entrants in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match

#4. Chris Jericho Surprises Dolph Ziggler As The Second Entrant In The 2013 Men’s Rumble

Chris Jericho may never have won the Royal Rumble, but Y2J has a storied history in the match. Jericho has been the ultimate “Iron Man,” lasting a cumulative five hours in the Rumble over his many appearances.

Among many of his great performances is Y2J’s outing in the 2013 Men’s Rumble, where Jericho entered as the second entrant and surprised the WWE Universe. The live crowd went into a frenzy, and the sight of the inaugural Undisputed World Champion took aback Dolph Ziggler.

The shock value came from the fact that Jericho’s contract terminated on-screen five months before, in September 2012. It was a way to write off Y2J for his Fozzy tour. No one was expecting the Canadian to return so soon, which is why the comeback took everyone by surprise.
