The 10 worst Royal Rumble winners ever (With Pictures)

8. Alberto Del Rio – 2011

For the 2011 Royal Rumble, the WWE tried an experiment that went over like a lead balloon.  Instead of the usual 30 competitors in the match, they decided to increase that to 40.  This was a case where more wasn’t better as it wasn’t a great match.  The reason why Alberto Del Rio is on this list is due to the fact that he, like Edge before, didn’t really do much to win.

He was the 38th entry in the way-too-long 40-man Royal Rumble.  He was in the match for less than 10 minutes and the only wrestler of note that he took out was Randy Orton. While Del Rio thought he won by eliminating Orton, Santino Marella was never thrown over the top rope, and we all know there was “no chance in hell” that Santino was going to main event WrestleMania.
