WWE Throwback: Rey Mysterio eliminates Randy Orton, Triple H to win Royal Rumble 2006

The Royal Rumble 2006 was special for many reasons as it featured two extremely loved WWE superstars, who became household names affer the event. Though John Cena won the main event by forcing Edge to submit for the WWE Championship title, the night truly belonged to the 'Masked Luchador' Rey Mysterio. Mysterio, who entered on the second spot of the Royal Rumble, was able to win the match and became the superstar who survived in the Royal Rumble for the longest. Not only that, it was this Royal Rumble which truly made 'The Master of 619' a household name and after that fans started calling him 'The Ultimate Underdog'.
