Gold boxes designate the Winner of the Royal Rumble Match.
a: LemonStains was originally set to enter at #11; however, he traded the spot to CTU_Ranger_Tranquilo for the #1 spot.
b: King-of-Zing withdrew from the Rumble as part of her retirement; her #6 spot was given to the_gift_of_g2j.
c: Several weeks before the Rumble, YourBuddyChurch offered a "special opportunity" at Wrestlemania to any competitor willing to withdraw from the Royal Rumble match. Four competitors accepted his offer and were replaced by alternates. The original competitors are as follows:
-TheJustJosh at #7; replaced by TheUnleashedMark
-IM_A_ONE_MAN_BANNED at #9; replaced by SlowbroJJ
-TheFalconArrow at #15; replaced by MrCappie
-Zquest13 at #23; replaced by VacantForHOF
d: Although TheFalconArrow gave up his spot for the "special opportunity," he was re-inserted into the match at the #20 spot due to TDKBatmane no-showing the event.
e: Just three days before Wrestlemania, it was discovered that Rumble winner OfftheropesSSP had been maintaining multiple alt accounts, including Rumble participants CTU_Ranger_Tranquilo, stevethsamuria, & Astro___Cat. As such, he was stripped of his title shot and banned from LLR. Rumble runner-up ALLMYWORDSAREBOLD was awarded the title shot in his place, and challenged for the Undisputed World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania 34.Category:PPV
