We are back with another WWE related article and this time we will talk about the Royal Rumble and the superstars who have won this match the most number of times and this will be a list of the best WWE superstars of all time as this is one of the most important Matches of the year. This match is also my favorite match of the year and every January end I wait for this match.
The Royal Rumble match has been going on for 35 years and more than 30 WWE superstars have won this match and some Superstars have won it twice and one has won it 3 times. Let’s see the Top 5 WWE Superstars who have won this match the most number of times.
Stone Cold Steve Austin – 3 Times
He is the most winningest WWE superstar to have won the Royal Rumble 3 times and he is the greatest Royal Rumble performer of all time and no one else has been able to win it 3 times. He played the match in 1997,1998 and 2001. And he main evented all the 3 WrestleMania events after that as well. Stone Cold Steve Austin was the face of WWE for a number of years and so him winning the Rumble 3 times is a huge statement as to how much WWE trusted him. There will never be another like him.
Shawn Michaels – 2 Times
Then we have a few superstars who have won the Royal Rumble match 2 times and we will start with Shawn Michaels who also won back to back in 1995 and 1996 and in 1995 he was a young man who won his first Royal Rumble but in 1996 he was the favorite to win it again and he again main evented WrestleMania both those years and the stock of Shawn Michaels rose through the roof and he was one of the best Wrestlers in the world and could put up banger Matches against anyone so him winning the Royal Rumble twice makes sense.
Triple H – 2 Times
If we have talked about Shawn Michaels then how can his best friend and the man running WWE be left behind as Triple H has also won the Royal Rumble match 2 times. He won it in 2002 and 2016. In 2002, he returned from a torn quad injury and was destined to win the match and in 2016 he entered at number 30 and won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Triple H was one of the most reliable workers and he was someone who was just getting better.

John Cena – 2008 and 2013
John Cena had to be in this list because he was the face of WWE for over a decade and him winning the Rumble match twice is not a surprise. He first won it in 2008 and then in 2013. In 2008, he returned from a torn pec within months and won the Royal Rumble and in 2013 he won the Rumble to earn a title match against the Rock. John Cena was the man in. WWE and I thought he would level Stone Cold Steve Austin byr twice is pretty good.
Randy Orton -2 Times
The 5th WWE superstar in this list is the legend killer Randy Orton. He also has won this match twice in 2009 and 2017. Randy Orton was also one of the top guys along with John Cena and in 2009 as the leader of legacy he won the Royal Rumble and main evented Wrestling and in 2017 WWE had to make him win as they could not let Roman Reigns win the match . Randy Orton was deserving of both the Royal Rumble wins.
It will be interesting to see who wins both the Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble matches next year.
