These WWE Superstars have forgetful Royal Rumble records

#1 Sheamus (2 seconds) - WWE Royal Rumble 2018

Sheamus would want to forget Royal Rumble 2018

Sheamus is the second former world champion in our list of Superstars with a dreadful Royal Rumble record to their name. Back in the 2018 edition of Royal Rumble, Sheamus was eliminated from the match in two seconds which is the lowest time spent inside the ring by any of the current Superstars in the promotion.

In the match, Sheamus entered at No. 11 and immediately got involved with Heath Slater. The latter wasted in no time in pushing Sheamus over the top rope and ended the former champion’s hopes in two seconds. Slater was the next to be eliminated in the match as Bray Wyatt took advantage of the distraction.

Currently, Sheamus is enjoying a great run on WWE RAW and is a close ally of Drew McIntyre. He is expected to maintain this momentum, and he is an important part of the title picture on the Red brand. Sheamus will look forward to an impactful performance at Royal Rumble 2021, especially if it can compensate for the record mentioned above.
