#2 Luke Gallows

Luke Gallows is a big surprise on the list, isn’t he? He has had various runs in the WWE. The first of which began as Festus in 2007. Then, he wrestled as Luke Gallows being a part of CM Punk’s ‘Straight-edge Society’ until he was released in 2010.

It turned out to be a blessing in disguise as Gallows did some great work across the independent circuit, before returning to the WWE in 2016.

However, in all these years, Gallows has never been a part of the traditional 'Rumble' match, and time’s running out for him to make his moment. Nonetheless, he has been a part of the infamous 'Greatest Royal Rumble' match, if that's a good consolation prize.

#1 Sting

While, it isn’t really a surprise that Sting has never been a part of the match, this list would have been incomplete without the mention of 'the vigilante'.

Sting is the greatest WWE superstar over the last 3 decades to have never been a part of the Royal Rumble match. The WWE ‘hall of famer’ could have been a part of a lot of big things in the WWE, but it wasn’t meant to be like that.

It would have been wonderful to see Sting’s music hit when Rumble's countdown stopped at zero. But, we have to accept that Sting will never compete in the 'Royal Rumble' match; and it is our loss.
