At Royal Rumble 1992, the winner was to win the vacant world championship. Ric Flair entered the match at #3 and lasted an hour to win the Rumble and his first title in WWE. He was going strong as a heel and won the title at Royal Rumble.

The Nature Boy's win is memorable as he faced legends like The Undertaker, Randy Savage, and Ted DiBiase. Ric's win is often remembered as one of the greatest Royal Rumble in history.

Batista's 2005 Royal Rumble win is remembered for many reasons. First, he was a heel who was about to turn face by betraying Evolution member Triple H. Despite his heel persona, Batista was cheered throughout the match.

The second reason is the climax of the match where Cena and Batista were the final two stars remaining. They accidentally eliminated each other with both their feet simultaneously hitting the ground. But after restarting the match with John, Batista emerged victorious. He challenged Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 21 and won the title.
