Perfect was announced as part of the match in the weeks before the Rumble, hardly a surprise |

As far as non-regular performers go, Diesel's is hard to top. Place went freaking nuts, plus the fact that it was Diesel and not Kevin Nash.
But AJ's last year was great too. It's just a shame that WWE's camera crew decided to focus on Roman's stupid face instead of literally anywhere else. I'll still sometimes watch fan videos from the crowd so I can see the screen and hear the audiences reaction that goes with it.

Tatanka always sticks out for me. I'd have been 12, had no idea who he was... But thought he was cool as  . |

AJ Styles crushes basically any Royal Rumble surprise of all time. Things haven't felt like that since back in the day when someone would switch sides. It may have been better than that. It's hard to believe now as he has fit in so well that it was someone who basically came from 'non-existence'. We'll never be in that position again in our lifetimes, likely.

I was AT The 2008 Royal Rumble in MSG when Cena came back, the place EXPLODED... one of those moments I'll never forget.

I liked Diesel's return a few years back and he had the stare-down with Big Show.

The only ones that I can truly remember are...
2010 - Edge
2011 - Diesel
2013 - Chris Jericho
2014 - Kevin Nash
2015 - DDP
And honestly, that's all that mattered to me anyhow.

AJ Styles has to be up there, (despite the camera crew messing up and showing Reigns), purely for how surreal it was. I'm really hoping for Kurt Angle this year.

When Bret came out for the Rumble match in 1994. Owen turned on him earlier in the night and injured his knee. One of the entrees beforehand was a no-show and you just knew it was supposed to be Bret.
Then, he comes out limping a few spots later to this massive ovation. Always one of my favorite Rumble moments, especially as a kid.
One of the few times where the lack of entrance music for Rumble participants (remember those days?) made a moment even more awesome. The countdown... suspense/silence... ROAR!!! Goosebumps.

I want to say Diesel, but his impact in the match did not even begin to live up to his entrance and the reaction it garnered from everyone.

Diesel and Booker T in the same year was great. Finally making there returns after TNA runs. I vaguely remember it leaking the Friday or Saturday before the Rumble and being super excited.
