11. Maven eliminates The Undertaker in 2002
The Phenom was always considered the measuring stick for everyone. But while The Undertaker has always been known for his accomplishments at WrestleMania, he hasn’t always had the most positive of experiences at the Royal Rumble. In 2002, during the Rumble the Dead Man had his back turned and was facing the ring ropes. What happened next stunned the wrestling world. Maven, who had recently won the Tough Enough competition, dropkicked an unsuspecting Undertaker causing him to be eliminated. The stunned reaction by not only The Undertaker, but Maven as well, was something to behold. While the moment resulted in an absolute decimation of Maven and didn’t result in a longstanding push, it certainly caught everyone off guard. So while The Undertaker is a multi-time World Champion and Royal Rumble winner he will always have the distinction of having been defeated by Maven.
