WWE Royal Rumble: 5 funniest moments in Rumble history

Royal Rumble is almost upon us, and the event focuses on providing us with great entertainment that leaves the fans spellbound.

The show also features a match of the same name where the winner gets the opportunity to challenge a Champion of their choice from RAW or SmackDown. The last three years have seen the Women's division also host their match.

During these matches, and the singles competition that have happened so far, the fans got to see some funny moments that tickled their funny bone and created a moment that has been etched in time.

These moments were few and far between, but they got the attention of the WWE Universe and are the most enjoyable ones.

They told us that no matter what work you do, there can always be a brief moment that can make you smile, and even the most muscular people that are ready to settle their differences between the ropes, can create something worth viewing regularly.

I am listing those 5 moments for your reading and viewing pleasure, and welcome your thoughts in the comments section in case I may have missed out on anyone that you would have wanted to see in the list.

So without further ado, let's get down to it:

#5 Hurricane tries to eliminate Stone Cold and Triple H

Hurricane Helms was one character that would entertain the WWE Universe every time he showed up on TV. While there can be an entire list on the funniest moments by him and R-Truth, this one was special, as it was attempted during the Royal Rumble match.

Hurricane was in the ring with Stone Cold Steve Austin and Triple H and decided to double chokeslam the two wrestlers at once.

This created a moment where arch-rivals Austin and HHH decided to join hands and throw him over the top rope. This led to Hurricane being eliminated from the match, but it was one of the funniest moments that anyone witnessed during the match.

#4 R-Truth using a ladder during the match

R-Truth is not new to doing funny things on WWE TV. He is one wrestler that has performed in various roles and is one of the primary reasons why the 24/7 championship got an opportunity to hold its base with the fans.

During his entry in the Royal Rumble match, R-Truth decided to go under the ring and brought out a ladder to everyone's surprise. He climbed the ladder in an attempt to hold the imaginary briefcase at the top of the ladder.

The fans knew that this would be a funny segment when they saw R-Truth taking out a ladder from under the ring, and one couldn't stop laughing when this was aired.

#3 Rikishi's Dance Break

We all know about R-Truth and Carmella's Dance Break, but did you know that Rikishi also took a dance break during the Royal Rumble in 2000? He was part of the group called 'Too Cool,' and as he and his team members were the only ones left in the ring, Rikishi decided to show off his cool moves to the fans in attendance.

#2 Santino Marella eliminated in a second

In 2009, Santino Marella entered the Royal Rumble match and was eliminated by Kane in a second. This was one of the funniest moments because he broke a record that was intact for 20 years.

In the year 1989, as The Warlord made his way into the ring, Hulk Hogan eliminated him in a matter of two seconds. The moment in 2009 was funny as Santino usually played funny characters, and so no one felt like a superstar was robbed of his opportunity, but it felt like an extension of his comedic character.

#1 Titus O'Neil slipping under the ring

Titus O'Neil entered the 39th spot during the Greatest Royal Rumble. The entry became a reason for joy and entertainment as Titus went under the ring due to an issue he faced during his entrance. The moment tickled Micheal Cole too, who said that this may be the funniest thing he has ever seen during the Royal Rumble event.

Let's wait to see if any funny moments are created during this year's Royal Rumble event.
