Royal Rumble 2018: Ranking all number 1 entrants part 1

#27 The Miracle Kid gets his Heartbroken

Shawn Michaels, Royal Rumble 2003 (Duration: 02:31, Order Eliminated: 1, Number of Eliminations: 0)

So I know he lasted for lesser time than those before him, but this is Shawn Michaels we're talking about. Making a miraculous comeback to wrestling in 2002, after a career-ending injury; Michaels was at an all-time high.

As such Shawn Michaels came in at the number one spot in the Royal Rumble, and having been the only person at that time to have won from that spot in 1995, this was indeed a call of destiny for Shawn to do it again, in his second innings.

Of course this wasn't to be, instead fooled by the trickery of a vengeful Chris Jericho; Shawn found himself beaten and bloodied just before the match and tossed out like yesterdays garbage.

It was a disheartening move by the wicked Jericho and his partner Christian, but provided the impetus for a fascinating dream clash between the veteran and young lion. One which we'd never thought would come to fruition. Thank God for the Heartbreak Kid and his show-stopping run.
