1. Roman Reigns – 4 (2014, 2017, 2018, 2020)
Roman Reigns hasn’t always been popular with the WWE Universe when it comes to reaching the business end of Rumble matches. However, Reigns has an impeccable record in Rumble matches. He’s competed in six Royal Rumble matches with one triumph in 2015, and a record four runner-up finishes in 2014, 2017, 2018, and 2020.
Reigns’ performance in the 2014 Rumble was outstanding as he broke Kane’s record of 11 eliminations by eliminating 12 competitors. However, Batista outlasted him in 2014. 2017 was a night to forget for Reigns as he failed to beat Kevin Owens for the Universal Championship, and Randy Orton eliminated him to win the Rumble.
Shinsuke Nakamura overcame Reigns in the 2018 men’s Royal Rumble match, and Drew McIntyre toppled him in the 2020 men’s Royal Rumble match. The Tribal Chief declared entry into the 2026 men’s Royal Rumble match, and he’ll be looking to become the 12th multiple Rumble winner in history.
