This week in WWE history (Jan 24-30) RAW is canceled, CM Punk walks out  

#4. The forgotten Royal Rumble takes place - January 25th, 2004

Chris Benoit has mostly been written out of the history books following the end of his career back in 2007. This meant that the 2004 Royal Rumble match became a near-forgotten event.

Benoit was victorious in the Rumble by last eliminating The Big Show before going on to wrestle in WrestleMania's main event against Triple H and Shawn Michaels. Benoit and his best friend Eddie Guerrero were both victorious at WrestleMania 20 and celebrated together to end the show.

Five years later, Randy Orton won his first Royal Rumble match when he was able to overcome the threat of Triple H to book his place in the WrestleMania main event.

The 2015 Royal Rumble match is the final one to take place on this day and saw Roman Reigns come out on top after eliminating Rusev. The Rock was on-hand to celebrate with his family member, as it became clear that the WWE Universe was not accepting Reigns in the position in the way that WWE had hoped.
