Time for 12 and 7 to make history and get their first wins!Ric Flair and Bianca Belair have both won from #3
I follow you at #4 - no winners from that spot. But Chad Gable will come in there and win the whole damn thing!

MULTIPLE ROYAL RUMBLE VICTORIES:
- 3 wins = 1 Superstar (Stone Cold Steve Austin)
- 2 wins = 8 Superstars (Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, John Cena, Batista, Triple H, Randy Orton, Edge, Brock Lesnar)
LUCKY NUMBERS WITH THE MOST WINS:
- 5 wins (1) = #30
- 4 wins (3) = #1, #27, #28
- 3 wins (1) = #24
- 2 wins (7) = #2, #3, #19, #22, #23, #25, #29
- 1 win (10) = #5, #8, #10, #13, #14, #16, #17, #18, #38, #41
OTHER INTERESTING WINNING NUMBER FACTS:
- Batista is the only person to win from the same spot twice, at #28
- 2007 and 2008, as well as 2022 and 2023, were the only times the same number won in succession, and both were #30.
- When adjusted for inflation, Hacksaw Jim Duggan's #13 win out of 20 wrestlers instead of 30 becomes an equivalent of #19.5 (rounded up to #20) by today's standards
- When adjusted for deflation, Alberto Del Rio's #38 win out of 40 wrestlers translates to #28.5 (rounded up to #29) by normal standards
- When adjusted for deflation, Braun Strowman's #41 win out of 50 wrestlers translates to #24.6 (rounded up to #25) by normal standards
- If you factor in all current 44 Royal Rumble winners as of 2023, the average winning entry number is #19.37 (adjusted) and 19.81 (normal), making the most likely winning number #19 or #20.
Statistics show that entries #1-10 have produced 11 winners, entries #11-20 have only produced 7 winners, and entries #21-30 have produced 26 winners (if you count #38 and #41).
Therefore, 59.09% of the time the winner will be from 21-30, 25% of the time they'll be in the first 1-10 entrants, and 15.91% of the time the winner will be from 11-20. WWE has made a concerted effort to have more 11-20 winners from 2013 onward, as prior to that, it had only happened 2 out of 26 times.
The last few years they've been a bit boring, either going for the iron man, coming in at the first few spots and going all the way, or the opportunistic late entrant. Hopefully this year they go for someone more middle of the pack.
