Royal Rumble: Scottish Stats

This Saturday, World Wrestling Entertainment presents the 36th annual Royal Rumble. Arguably the most exciting event on the wrestling calendar. The twists, turns, and both feet hitting the floor.

But how have the Scots done in the Royal Rumble match itself? I’ve got stats!

Nikki Cross

Year	Entry Number	Eliminations	Eliminated By	Ring Time
2019	8	0	Billie Kay & Peyton Royce	08:52
2020	4	0	Bianca Belair	15:08
2021	20	0	Carmella	07:37
2022	22	1	Ronda Rousey	12:13
TOTAL	Eliminations	1	Time	43:50

Recording her first elimination last year when she eliminated WWE Hall of Famer ‘Mighty’ Molly Holly, Nikki Cross has went through some evolutions, from the crazed Sanity member, Almost a Super Hero, and now her dark villain phase. A former RAW Women’s Champion, Women’s Tag Team Champion, Money in the Bank winner, and the final 24/7 Champion, Cross isn’t one to dismiss this year.

Drew McIntyre

Year	Entry Number	Eliminations	Eliminated By	Ring Time
2010	9	0	Shawn Michaels & Triple H	14:41
2011	33	0	Big Show	04:46
2013	6	0	Chris Jericho	02:29
2019	16	4	Dolph Ziggler & Braun Strowman	20:06
*2020*	16	6	*WINNER*	*34:11*
2021	21	2	Brock Lesnar	19:18
TOTAL	Eliminations	12	Time	1:35:31

The first, and albeit only, Scottish and British Royal Rumble winner, Drew McIntyre is a constant threat in the Royal Rumble. Winning in 2020 by last eliminating Roman Reigns, and being in the final two in 2021.

WWE has a thriving Scottish wrestling contingent right now with Drew McIntyre, Nikki Cross, and Doudrop on the main roster with Alba Fyre, Isla Dawn, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang, Joe Coffey, and Noam Dar either on NXT or currently unassigned. Could we see another Scot go all the way in 2023?
