5 Best No. 22 Entries in the Royal Rumble

#2 Sheamus (2012) - Winner - 3 Eliminations

In 2009, the WWE saw Sheamus debut on the ECW brand after spending 2 and a half years in WWE's developmental program. Not long after being called up, he would move from the ECW brand to Raw to feud with Jamie Noble.

At the Tables, Ladders, and Chairs PPV of 2009, Sheamus would defeat WWE Champion John Cena in a tables match. However, Sheamus would drop the title to Triple H in the Elimination Chamber PPV.

Fast forward a few years to 2012, and Sheamus enters his second Royal Rumble from the 22nd entry. He lasts 22 minutes and 21 seconds in the Royal Rumble eliminating Kofi Kingston, Jack Swagger, and lastly Chris Jericho for the win.

Within three years of being called up to the main roster, Sheamus would have won a WWE title, the King of the Ring Tournament, the United States Championship and the Royal Rumble match, and would go on to defeat Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania to have his first reign as the WWE Heavyweight Champion.
