I’m not sure what you mean by surprise entrants but I’m pretty sure Tenru and Kabuki were announced in advance. They were “hired” by Fuji to ensure Luger didn’t win the rumble.

You could say Cena was a surprise in 2008 since no one expected him to come back so soon

Batista wasnt a surprise entrant in 2014. He announced his entry in the Royal Rumble a few weeks before when he returned and it was obvious he was going to win it all.

What about AJ Styles in 2016? Sure there were rumors he was coming to the WWE but debuting in the RR match has to count as a surprise.

2006 - Goldust, i believe he was a surprise.
2010 - Edge, one of the greatest surprises of all time. Beth Phoenix was a surprise entrant too.
2012 - Road Dogg
2013 - Chris Jericho
2016 - AJ Styles, again one of the greatest surprises of all time.
Also, Batista wasn't a surprise entrant in 2014, he had already returned and was announced for the match.

Thanks guys Valentine was still in the roster in late 1991, so im nit sure if he was a surprise in 92 So was Haku. Originally one of these two were not in the rumble, Knobbs and Jannetty were but both were injured just before the event (Knobbs for real and Jannetty in kayfabe) and Nikolai and either Greg or Haku took their place but I can't remember which one. Odd fun fact, Knobbs is married to Greg Valentine's sister. |

In 2003, Eddie Guerrero wasn't a surprise entrant.... BUT he did debut his newly shaved head at that event! Gone was the mullet!! So I feel Eddie's shaved head should count as a surprise! haha

For 2017 you can count Roman Reigns too.
He wrestled for the Universal Title with Owens earlier in the night, but he was also number 30 in the Rumble. I don't think anyone saw that coming.
