Everyone remembers the first winner of the men's Royal Rumble Match in 1988 ("Hacksaw" Jim Duggan), and some even remember which number he entered the match (13). Asuka will forever be remembered in pro wrestling history as the first person to win the women's Royal Rumble match, and she did it after entering the Rumble at #25.
