#1 Sheamus (2014) - Eliminated 28th - 1 Elimination
After a stellar 2011-2012 for Sheamus, his 2013 was unfortunately blighted by injuries. During the Money in the Bank ladder match, Sheamus suffered from a hematoma forcing him to miss time. After returning from the injury he would lose to the World Heavyweight Champion, Alberto Del Rio, in a non-title match. Sheamus would then suffer a torn labrum in August and would be forced to sit on the sideline for 4-6 months.
In the 2014 Royal Rumble, Sheamus made a surprise return from injury. His return was greeted by a large cheer from the fans. Sheamus would last just under half an hour at 28 minutes and 22 seconds and eliminated Big E Langston. Sheamus would make it to the final three with Roman Reigns and Batista, before being eliminated by Roman Reigns.
