# 1 Rey Mysterio (2006) - Winner - 6 Eliminations
The first Royal Rumble after the sudden passing of Eddie Guerrero was won by his close personal friend, Rey Mysterio after a gruelling battle. Mysterio entered the Royal Rumble with Triple H as the first entry. Both of them wrestled through the match and both ended in the final 3 along with Randy Orton, who came in at the number 30 spot. Rey entered the Rumble in Guerrero's signature low-rider, which bought out an emotional reaction from the crowd who would chant "Eddie" as the match started.
Mysterio would finish with a time of 1 hour, 2 minutes and 12 seconds a record time that still stands to this day. During the Rumble, Rey Mysterio would eliminate Simon Dean, Psicosis, Rob Van Dam, Super Crazy, Triple H, and Randy Orton for the victory. Mysterio would dedicate his victory to Guerrero after the Rumble as well, dropping to his knees and pointing to the sky as a tribute to his fallen friend
