Steve Austin has won three Royal Rumbles. His first win came in 1997 when he was a heel. He entered the match at #5 and eliminated many superstars before getting thrown out by Bret Hart. The referees failed to see Austin's elimination, and he re-entered the match, eliminating The Undertaker, Bret Hart, and Vader.
He wasn't given a direct title shot at WrestleMania 13 because of the controversial nature of his win.
#1. WWE's King of Kings

At Royal Rumble 2016, the winner was being rewarded with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The champ before the Rumble Match was Roman Reigns, who was forced to defend the title as the #1 entrant. Triple H entered the match at #30, winning the Rumble and the championship after eliminating Dean Ambrose.
After The Cerebral Assasin's win, he was booed out of the building as fans didn't like a part-timer winning. Reigns took his title back from The Game at WrestleMania 32.

Tejas has been an AEW writer at Sportskeeda Wrestling since 2021. Possessing a degree in Food Processing Technology, it was his brother who introduced him to Sportskeeda, and he has never looked back since.
Tejas’ writing style is analytical and descriptive style, mostly sticking to statistics. He believes in thoroughly checking all statistics and information before using them in his articles to ensure his readers get nothing but the best and most accurate stories. He also does not indulge much in speculation in his content.
His all-time favorite wrestler is Roman Reigns for his journey from being one of the most unlikable babyfaces at the start of his career to one of the greatest modern WWE superstars. If Tejas ever got the chance to go back to the Attitude Era and manage a superstar, it would choose high-flying, risk-taking diminutive entertainer Spike Dudley. Tejas would assure him that he would be involved in long-term storylines, something that he wasn’t part of during his time.
In his free time, Tejas enjoys singing and learning new things.
