The American Nightmare added himself in an exclusive list of WWE superstars who have managed to win the Royal Rumble consecutively after his win in the 2024 edition.
The match went down to Cody Rhodes and CM Punk as the last two but after an intense battle, it was Rhodes who came out on top.
Take a look at who are the other superstars to have previously achieved consecutive Royal Rumble wins.
At the time there was no stipluation which suggested that the winner would face the champion. Hogan who was the champion in 1990 came in with nothing to lose and managed to secure the win. The next year the match went down to him and the Ultimate Warrior which began a feud for the ages.
In 1990, Hogan, the reigning champion, entered with nothing to lose and secured the win. The following year, he faced the Ultimate Warrior, sparking a legendary feud.
As the Ringmaster in Ted DiBiase Sr.'s faction, he accidentally won due to a slip from Fatu. The following year, he secured another victory, now as the legendary avatar we all know.
Cody Rhodes now sits with the opportunity to face the Heavyweight Champion or the Universal Champion. It is likely that he will pick the latter to finish the story after losing out to Reigns in the previous Wrestlemania.
CM Punk was the hot favourite to win the Rumble but now it remains uncertain of how the wrestler will be able to come back in the picture for a title match now.
