Only 31 men have ever won The Royal Rumble match, which means that it is something that many men can only dream of ever having on their resume. Whilst there are a handful of men who have won it more than once, it seems that there are also a number of men who have managed to win the match on their debut.

The likes of 'Hacksaw' Jim Duggan, Yokozuna, Big John Studd, Lex Luger, Brock Lesnar and Mr. McMahon and Ric Flair have all won Royal Rumble matches at their first attempt. Alberto Del Rio was the last man to achieve this accolade back in 2011, but Shinsuke Nakamura became the 10th man to win on his debut last night.
