#11 Triple H (2002, 2016)

The King of Kings
The King of Kings

Triple H has remained a core part of WWE both as a wrestler and as the COO of the company. He came as a surprise entrant in 2016 Royal Rumble and won WWE Championship there. He had earlier won the Royal Rumble match in 2002 where he eliminated Kurt Angle last to emerge as the last man standing. The Game now rarely wrestles in the squared circle.

The Cerebral Assassin last wrestled at the Crown Jewel PPV in 2018 but unfortunately, he injured himself during the match. So, he is recovering from it currently. He runs the WWE company with his father-in-law and also operates the NXT brand.

Brock Lesnar always had an impressive run whenever he has turned up with WWE. The Beast shattered every superstar including the likes of The Undertaker, Triple H, Roman Reigns, John Cena and Goldberg among many others to emerge as the most destructive superstar of all time. He had won the Royal Rumble match in the year 2003 after defeating Big Show earlier in the night to earn a chance to enter the match.

Presently he is the WWE Universal Champion on the RAW brand. The Conqueror is in a short-term contract with WWE, reportedly. He is also on the verge of joining UFC soon once his deal with WWE gets over. Brock Lesnar is all set to defend the Universal title at Royal Rumble 2019 against Finn Balor.
