#2. This is the tenth time a Royal Rumble match has occurred outside of a Royal Rumble January broadcast
Aside from the two house show Rumble matches mentioned in the first slide, where the WWF was testing and tweaking the concept, WWE has held five Royal Rumble-style matches on its broadcast television shows and two on non-televised house shows; The Greatest Royal Rumble will be the tenth time WWE has put on this style of match without it being a part of its January event.
The RAW and SmackDown editions have included a Tag Team Royal Rumble, won by Kane and Mankind, to determine number one contenders for the Tag Team Championships, a Corporate Royal Rumble, won by Chyna, to determine the 30th entrant into the pay-per-view contest, and several contests to determine one show's number one contender when the other show won on premium television.
Additionally, 1994 featured two different non-televised Royal Rumble matches which seemed to have nothing at stake and did not seem to affect ongoing storylines; Owen Hart won a 30-man contest at Madison Square Garden in January, while The Undertaker last eliminated Bam Bam Bigelow to win an 18-man Rumble match in Osaka, Japan, in May.
