It may sound pretty corny to some, but I believe John Cena is Mr. Royal Rumble.
Now hear me out, Ever since he made his debut, Cena has never missed out on competing at the Royal Rumble (with the exclusion of 2016), whether it was in the Royal Rumble match himself, or in a singles match. Despite somewhat sloppy performances in his first 2 Rumble appearances, John Cena shined in the 2005 Royal Rumble, becoming the last to be eliminated after him and Batista alone had to restart the Rumble.
After coming close the previous year, John Cena missed out on taking part in the Royal Rumble as he went on to compete against Edge for the WWE Championship, which Cena went on to win for the second time in his career. In the following year, Cena went on to successfully retain his WWE Championship in a Last Man Standing match against Umaga (who at the time was unstoppable).
After suffering an Injury that had an estimated recovery time of 6 months to 1 year, Cena returned at the 2008 Royal Rumble and went on to win the Royal Rumble match by last eliminating Triple H. The eruption Cena received from the WWE Universe on his return that night is now one of the most infamous moments in Royal Rumble History. In the 2009 Royal Rumble, John Cena went on to successfully defend his World Heavyweight Championship against JBL.
In 2010 & 2011, John Cena competed in the Royal Rumble Match once again, becoming the last person to be eliminated once again in 2010, being eliminated by the returning Edge. In 2011, John Cena would put on a strong showing, eliminating 7 people (tied with the most eliminations in that match with CM Punk) before being eliminated by an outside interference by The Miz. John Cena would then go on to compete in a singles match against Kane on the 2012 edition of the Royal Rumble, which resulted in a double count-out.
In 2013, John Cena went on to win his second Royal Rumble Match in his career by eliminating Ryback. After this however, John Cena would then be unsuccessful in regaining the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in both 2014 & 2015, losing to Randy Orton in 2014 and the triple threat between Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar and himself. It wasn’t until Royal Rumble 2017 where Cena defeated AJ Styles to not only regain the WWE Championship, but to tie with Ric Flair with the most World Championship wins with 16. This year, John Cena is looking for a 3rd Royal Rumble victory, which will tie him with Stone Cold
