6 WWE Royal Rumble Winners with the Fewest Eliminations

4. Becky Lynch – 2 (2019 Women’s)

When the 2019 Royal Rumble kicked off, Becky Lynch challenged Asuka for SmackDown’s top women’s world championship prize. However, the Man failed to regain the women’s world championship from the Empress of Tomorrow. Nevertheless, with Lynch not leaving with the women’s world title, the Man, determined to headline WrestleMania, replaced Lana in the 2019 women’s Royal Rumble match as the 28th entrant.

Lynch ensured that she wasn’t going to be leaving the Rumble empty-handed. She eliminated the woman who broke her nose a couple of months prior, Nia Jax. Lynch and her former best friend Charlotte Flair were the final two participants, with both seeking their first Rumble triumph. The duo went back-and-forth, but the Man had the last laugh by overcoming her great rival, punching her ticket to the first women’s WrestleMania main event.
