Major WWE Superstars who have not yet won the Royal Rumble Match

#3 Kane

The Big Red Machine was nowhere to be found this year

If someone were to ask you who the most dominant man in Royal Rumble history was, without a doubt, Kane has to come into the discussion. For over a dozen years, he had the record for most eliminations in a single Royal Rumble and if you count his appearances as Isaac Yankem and Fake Diesel, he also has the record for most cumulative eliminations.

That's not all, either. He's also responsible for taking out Santino Marella with the quickest elimination in history and he's made the most amount of appearances in Royal Rumble matches with 21.

Still, the five-time final four participant, one-time runner-up (2001) and Big Red Elimination Machine has never been able to earn himself a title shot at WrestleMania through this method.

As a bit of a consolation prize, Kane was able to win the Battle Royale at WrestleMania 24 to earn a shot at the ECW Championship, which he won in mere seconds from Chavo Guerrero, but this obviously does not count as being anything comparable to a true Royal Rumble win.

Like Big Show and Mark Henry, Kane is reaching the twilight of his career and has been pushed aside for younger talent, so his time is likely up. There's time for WWE to give him one last big push before he retires, and sadly, he didn't even make an appearance at this year's event.

Now that Roman Reigns has beaten his record for most eliminations, it seems as though he'll have to settle for the other records still in his name. Even if Kane is never declared a winner, those accolades are incredible and he will forever be etched into WWE history as one of the men synonymous with the Royal Rumble gimmick.
