The Royal Rumble has been a staple of the WWE's PPV calendar since 1988

#1 Sheamus (2013) - Eliminated 28th - 5 Eliminations

Sheamus entered into the 2013 Royal Rumble as the 11th entry

After winning the Royal Rumble, Sheamus was attempting to be the fourth man to win back to back Royal Rumbles, after Hulk Hogan (1990-91), Shawn Michaels (1995-96) and Stone Cold Steve Austin (1997-98). However, the obstacle of being entered 11 places earlier than the previous year would prove to be too much for Sheamus to overcome.

However, Sheamus managed to improve on the 3 eliminations he got when he won the Royal Rumble the previous year, managing to eliminate 5 superstars during the 2013 Royal Rumble. Amongst Sheamus' victims, that year, was Titus O'Neil, David Otunga, Brodus Clay, Jinder Mahal and the ironman of the Royal Rumble, Dolph Ziggler.

Sheamus would then be eliminated in third by Ryback, leaving the former Nexus member in the final two with John Cena.
