16: The only person to be disqualified from the Royal Rumble?

The rules for the Royal Rumble are clear. The only way you can be eliminated from the match is by being thrown over the top rope. As Roman Reigns proved last year, it’s cool if you go to the back and recuperate from a beating before coming back and re-joining the match. There have also been instances of chairs and weapons being used during the Rumble, especially during the Attitude Era.

In 2008, Finlay was DQ-ed from the Royal Rumble for rushing in early and attacking Superstars in the ring with a Shillelagh. Interestingly, Al Snow entered early in the 2001 Rumble but he wasn’t DQ-ed.
