#5 Roman Reigns - 2014
'The Big Dawg' Roman Reigns entered the 2014 Royal Rumble with so much momentum behind him. WWE was ready to begin building him to portray the new big bad-ass in town. Roman had broken a record at Survivor Series 2 months earlier, eliminating all 5 of his team's opponents on the opposite side and here, he looked to take another.
Roman would break the record for most eliminations in a single Royal Rumble match, a record that had been held by Kane for 13 years. Roman took it with just one elimination over Kane's 11 eliminations, with 12. Reigns entered halfway through at #15 and lasted more than 33 minutes before being the last eliminated by winner Batista.

Roman was actually incredibly over with the live audience, which makes it even more of a shame that he couldn't repeat that when he would win the Rumble match the following year.
