WWE Royal Rumble Winners List: Complete List Of Superstars Who Have Won The Rumble

WWE Royal Rumble 2023 will happen this Saturday in San Antonio, and fans will likely get a first-time winner at this year’s show. According to rumors, Cody Rhodes will win the 30-man match in 2023, meaning he will be the new addition to the legendary list of WWE Royal Rumble winners.

In case you didn’t know, WWE Royal Rumble is one of the most entertaining gimmick matches in pro wrestling history. It is a time interval-based battle royal, where 30 Superstars enter the match one-by-one at a fixed time interval. Superstars can only be eliminated when they are tossed up from above the top rope, and both their feet hit the floor.
