Chris Jericho has participated in 11 Royal Rumbles during his career at the WWE, and judging by the fact that he has now signed a contract with All Elite Wrestling, he may not participate in another Rumble again for the promotion.

While Jericho has achieved a lot during his career at WWE after crossing over from WCW during the Monday Night Wars, one thing he never managed to achieve was winning the Royal Rumble.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

One of Jericho's best performances was at the Royal Rumble in 2004 when he made it to the final 4 alongside the Big Show, Kurt Angle, and that year's winner Chris Benoit. He was the 27th contestant to be eliminated. Coming in at entry 25, Jericho only eliminated one participant during the Royal Rumble that year, being Christian, whom he would face later at that year's Wrestlemania.

Jericho's rumble heroics are the stuff of legend and he holds the record for cumulative time spent in Royal Rumble matches that amount to almost five hours of in-ring presence.

Colossal numbers, to say the least, and Jericho still has a lot left in his tank.
