Men's entrants
Most appearances
Counted per person, not per name: a wrestler who entered under more than one gimmick is one entry here. Each draw counts, so entering the same match twice counts twice. Annual Royal Rumbles only.

- Kofi Kingston 15 appearances
- Rey Mysterio 15 appearances

Longest wait between appearances

What each draw is worth
Every winner finished first, so every winner was in the final four — which is why the win share is drawn inside the bar rather than beside it. Draws seen at least 10 times are plotted; 10 rarer draws are left out, because a rate from one match is 0% or 100% and nothing between. The table has all of them with their denominators. Annual Royal Rumbles only.
- Won the Rumble
- Reached the final four, did not win

What an average night looks like
The average share of the field an entrant outlasts from each draw — 100% is a win, 0% is first out, and the denominator is the field they were in, so the 20-, 30- and 40-entrant years are comparable. Different question from the card above: that one counts how often a draw reaches the final four, this one averages every finish, which is why numbers 1 and 2 look better here than a top-four rate suggests. Draws seen at least 10 times. Annual Royal Rumbles only.

How many are new
How many entrants had never been in a Rumble before, as a share of the field — comparable across the 20-, 30- and 40-entrant years. The opening column of each row is 100% and 97% because nothing existed to have entered yet; since 2015 the average is 7 new faces a match. Annual Royal Rumbles only.
