The 2024 Royal Rumble will emanate from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida on Saturday, January 27, 2024. The WWE Universe hopes to see Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson appear at the event. According to the news rumors, he is in talks to have a feud with his cousin Roman Reigns, that will take shape in Royal Rumble, and build up to WrestleMania 40.

Only time will tell whether it will happen or not. But for now, let’s explore the Great One’s five most iconic WWE Royal Rumble moments of all time.

1) Dwayne Johnson’s first and only Royal Rumble victory in 2000

Johnson has entered the Royal Rumble match multiple times in the past. He, however, has been a Rumble victor only once in his career. The remarkable moment took place more than two decades ago in 2000. After all the contenders were out of the match, he found himself in the final two against Big Show.

His opponent delivered a Showstopper on him and tried to throw him off the top rope. He mustered all his strength and held tightly. Then, with whatever energy was left inside him, he used it to toss Big Show out of the ring, grabbing his first and only Royal Rumble victory.

2) Helping Roman in the 2015 Royal Rumble

In 2015, Johnson made an appearance at the Royal Rumble event to aid Reigns. Despite being eliminated, Kane and Big Show continued to punish Reigns inside the ring until the Rock showed up. Both the Samaon brothers then took out ‘The Authority’ puppets, helping Reigns to beeline his way to victory after eliminating Rusev.

3) Face to face with Stone Cold in 1998 Royal Rumble

In 1998, Johnson was very close to winning the Royal Rumble match. But Stone Cold Steve Austin outdid him. He entered the match at #4 and lasted over 50 minutes in the ring. After the ring was cleared, the two contenders left inside the ropes were Johnson and Stone Cold.

4) Retaliation from Steve Austin in Royal Rumble 1999

In 1998, ‘The Texas Rattlesnake’ cost Johnson a Royal Rumble victory. Johnson returned the favor the next year. In the 1998 Royal Rumble match, Austin and Vince McMahon were the last two contenders remaining in the ring.

‘The Corporate Champion’ capitalized on the moment and came out to the ring to distract Austin. This allowed McMahon to eliminate his opponent and win the bout. This is how Johnsson took revenge on Austin and avenged his previous year’s loss.

5) Ending CM Punk’s record reign as champion in Royal Rumble 2013

In 2013, Johnson went up against WWE Champion CM Punk. During the match, someone attacked him in the dark, leading Punk to pick up a victory and retain his title. However, since Punk didn’t have a fair victory, McMahon restarted that match. This time Johnson won the match and the title ending Punk’s historic reign at 434 days.
