#1. Chris Jericho has never won the Royal Rumble
We might not ever get this one. Still, it's kind of surprising, isn't it? Chris Jericho worked with WWE from 1999 to 2018 with a two-year break between 2005 and 2007 and another one between 2010-2011.
Throughout his career, he's been in the final four in the Royal Rumble match three times. In 2004, he shared the ring with Big Show, Kurt Angle, and the eventual winner, Chris Benoit. In 2012, Sheamus outlasted Jericho, Randy Orton, and Big Show.

Even as far into his career as 2017, Chris Jericho was still running the gauntlet pretty well when he found himself competing against Roman Reigns, Bray Wyatt, and the eventual winner, Orton. To put this stat in perspective, The Viper has the seventh most wins at the event as a two-time Royal Rumble winner.
Chris Jericho pretty much confirmed several times that he plans to end his career with AEW but never say never. WWE has given the Royal Rumble victory to men over 45 many times before, so we could still see this happen if the business is right.
