10 Most Shocking WWE Royal Rumble Eliminations
The most shocking WWE Royal Rumble eliminations in history!
8. Shawn Michaels Eliminates Triple H - 2010
Shawn Michaels was a two-time Royal Rumble winner when he attempted to make it a threepeat in 2010.
In what turned out to be the last Rumble appearance of a Hall of Fame career, HBK was determined to win so that he could not only earn a WrestleMania title shot but, more importantly, have a clear path towards then-World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker.
Michaels had become another victim of The Streak at WrestleMania 25 and seemed positively possessed in his pursuit to avenge that loss on the Grandest Stage.
Entering the 2010 Rumble at number 18, the Showstopper got rid of Carlito, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase Jr., John Morrison, and Drew McIntyre in fast fashion, before proving the old mantra that the Royal Rumble really is ‘every man for himself’.
As his D-Generation X (and then WWE World Tag Team Championship) partner Triple H was getting up off the mat, Michaels quickly tuned up the band and hit him with Sweet Chin Music, sending The Game sailing backwards over the top rope.
