#21 The Demon that made it to 40

Kane, Royal Rumble 2011 (Duration: 01:36, Elimination Order: 34, No. of Eliminations: 1)

You're not reading that incorrectly, Kane was eliminated at number 34 in the 2011 Royal Rumble. This is because the 2011 edition of the match featured the first and only ever 40 men Rumble. It was an interesting if somewhat bloated experiment that goes to show how perfect a 30 man match is.

Of course, Kane one of the historic highlights of the Royal Rumble captured the coveted number 40 spot. Of course, as is the norm in WWE; Kane could do nothing from this final advantage point.

Instead, the "Big Red Machine", who then still held the record for most eliminations in a single Rumble match, went roughshod over his tired competition. He managed a single elimination to add to his resume, that of the dominant powerhouse Ezekiel Jackson before being taken out by little Rey Mysterio.

His lethargic run at the rumble signified that Kane was pretty much done in 2011, yet here we are in 2017 and Kane stands dominant ready to challenge Brock Lesnar for the WWE Universal Championship.
