7. Batista – 2005
While Batista is a great wrestler and is missed in the WWE, he’s not had great moments in the Royal Rumble. That is proof in the fact that he’s the only one with multiple entries on this list. The first one in this article comes from one of the greatest flubbed endings to a Royal Rumble in history with the event in 2005.
The match came down to Batista and John Cena. Both men would go over the top rope and land on the floor at the same time, but this was not planned. The refs had no idea how to call the end, which led to a furious Vince McMahon to rush the ring only to tear both of his quads as he was trying to enter.
The match would eventually be restarted with Batista as the eventual winner, but word is Batista was supposed to hold on to the ropes, originally, to eliminate Cena.
