The bracket has been divided into two groups — “Greatest Winners” and “Master Eliminators.” It’s no surprise then that three-time Rumble winner Steve Austin gets a No. 1 seed, as does Kane — who held the record for most eliminations in a single Rumble for over a decade and still has the most career Rumble eliminations at 45. Some of the current stars who made their way onto the bracket include 2020 Rumble winner Drew McIntyre (No. 8 seed), Greatest Royal Rumble winner Braun Strowman (No. 5 seed) and “The Tribal Chief” Roman reigns (No. 3 seed).
Beginning today on @WWENetwork’s Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, you can vote to determine which Superstar deserves the title of “Mr. #RoyalRumble” in a 16-man tournament. ⤵️ https://t.co/oR6y5L5KL1
