The WWE Stats page noted that 20 of the 30 possible WWE Royal Rumble draws have emerged victorious over the years after #16 Drew McIntyre and #17 Charlotte Flair won the two Rumble bouts at Sunday’s pay-per-view.
On a related note, McIntyre, who entered at #16 for the second year in a row, joins The Undertaker and WWE Hall of Famer Edge on the list of the three longest times between first Rumble Match appearance and first Rumble Match victory. Taker won the Rumble on his 18th try in 2007 after 16 years, Edge won the Rumble on his 6th try in 2010 after 11 years, and McIntyre won the Rumble on his 5th try this past Sunday, after 10 years.
McIntyre has been confirmed to challenge WWE Champion Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 36. Flair is rumored to face NXT Women’s Champion Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania, but her opponent has not been confirmed as of this writing.
