Notes

  • This was the first Royal Rumble to host a WWF Championship match.
  • WWF Magazine announced André the Giant, Buddy Rose, and The Honky Tonk Man as participants in the Royal Rumble. Rose and The Honky Tonk Man were no longer employed by the WWF by the time of the Rumble. They were replaced in the match by Tito Santana, Shane Douglas, and Greg Valentine. Andre was scratched due to health reasons.
  • Rick Martel broke the longevity record, lasting 52:17.
  • Randy Savage became the first Rumble no-show as no one came out at number eighteen. When all the wrestlers had entered, commentators Gorilla Monsoon and Roddy Piper realized Savage was the missing man and suggested the Warrior had chased Savage out of the building.
