Despite having made his WWF debut all the way back in 1990, The Undertaker was one of the most important stars during the Attitude Era nearly a decade later. The Deadman competed in his first Royal Rumble Match in 1991, just a couple of months after debuting at the Survivor Series.

The feeling in the room changed the moment Undertaker appeared at number 12. The Undertaker eliminated three wrestlers (Bret Hart, Butch, and Kerry Von Erich) in his Royal Rumble debut, and it took both members of The Road Warriors to get The Phenom out of the ring.

Last Royal Rumble Match: 2017

Entrant Number 29
Time In The Match 8:46
Number Of Eliminations 4

  • Baron Corbin
  • Goldberg
  • The Miz
  • Sami Zayn
Eliminated By Roman Reigns

The Undertaker competed in his last Royal Rumble Match 26 years later, in 2017. While Undertaker wasn’t in his physical prime, he still brought aura and star power to the 2017 Royal Rumble.

Undertaker shared the ring with the likes of Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, and Roman Reigns, which was quite cool to watch. The Deadman was eliminated by the latter to set up their clash in the main event of WrestleMania 33.
