5 superstars with standout performances in men's Royal Rumble 2018 match

#2 Finn Balor

Before the chaos of the Royal Rumble, Finn Balor took his time to soak in the atmosphere

There are those who feel like Finn Balor has been largely ignored since returning from his injury, as he hasn't been a primary main event talent, has yet to win another title, and can't seem to stick to a solid enough feud for a long enough time.

Some of that criticism toward WWE misusing him is definitely invalid now with his performance in the 2018 Royal Rumble match, as he started from the #2 spot and became the Iron Man of this year's event.

In his nearly one full hour performance, he was able to amass 4 eliminations, taking out Baron Corbin extremely early on, followed by Aiden English, Dolph Ziggler and Rey Mysterio.

As mentioned with Roman Reigns, this was the record for this year's most eliminations, and it would help get Balor to the point where he would be one of the final four of the entire match.

This was a particularly impressive showing for someone who was considered not over enough to justify putting in a Universal Championship match, wasn't it?
