6 WWE Royal Rumble winners born outside the United States

#2 WWE Hall of Famer - Bret Hart

Born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart is arguably one of the greatest wrestlers this promotion has seen.

Apart from holding coveted titles like the WWE Championship, Intercontinental Championship and The United States Championship, The Excellence of Execution etched his name among the very best when he co-won the Royal Rumble Match in 1994.

The Hitman and Lex Luger eliminated each other simultaneously in the 30-Man Royal Rumble Match and were declared joint winners. At WrestleMania 10, Lex Luger got the first shot at then champion Yokozuna but unfortunately lost by disqualification. Bret would then get his chance at the title and went on to beat Yokozuna to become champion, much to the delight of his fans.

#1 Two-time Royal Rumble Winner - Edge

Born in Orangeville, Ontario, Canada, Hall of Famer and two-time Royal Rumble winner Edge has undoubtedly carved an in-ring career worth every praise.

The Canadian superstar won his first Royal Rumble in 2010 when he eliminated John Cena who was the last competitor. Eleven years later, Edge soared again in this match when he won the Royal Rumble for a second time, eliminating Randy Orton. This comes after he returned from a career-threatening neck injury in 2020 after a gap of nine years, making his second triumph even more special.

The Rated-R Superstar will be in action at this year's event when he teams up with his wife Beth Phoenix against The Miz and Maryse in a Mixed Tag Team Match.
