For the second straight year, Tye Dillinger drew his perfect No. 10 to enter the WWE Royal Rumble - but unlike in 2017, Dillinger never made it into the match last Sunday night, as he was attacked by Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn backstage and had his spot stolen by Zayn.

Dillinger unfortunately wasn't the first to have his chance at Royal Rumble glory stolen, though, as there are many other examples of WWE Superstars losing their spots due to no fault of their own, at least for the most part. In honor of Dillinger's imperfect 10 in 2018, here are 10 of the most memorable Rumble entries that weren't.

1991: MACHO MISTAKE

The 1991 Royal Rumble Match was the final one without official WWE Championship implications, but the WWE Championship was the reason there were only 29 competitors in that match itself. Randy Savage had issued a challenge to the winner of that night's WWE Championship Match between Ultimate Warrior and Sgt. Slaughter, but when Warrior denied Savage's challenge, the "Macho King" went berserk - and ended up interfering to cost Warrior the championship that night. Later, the No. 18 entry in the Rumble Match itself came and went without an entrant, and by process of elimination, commentators Gorilla Monsoon and Roddy Piper discerned it must've been Savage's spot, and speculated that he had elimination fled the building to avoid the wrath of an angry Warrior, who would go on to defeat Savage in a retirement match two months later at WrestleMania VII.

1994: BOOGER WIPED

Bastion Booger was one of the more stomach-churning WWE Superstars of all-time, so it's somewhat ironic that his own stomach cost him his one and only Royal Rumble chance. Booger was entered in 1994 and drew a fortuitous No. 25, but he no-showed the buzzer, and it was later revealed that food poisoning - possibly from that chicken carcass he always carried around - forced him to miss his only opportunity at Rumble immortality.

1998: SKULL CRUSHED

Stone Cold Steve Austin won the 1998 Royal Rumble fair and square, at least compared to his 1997 win, but he probably still owes Skull a fruit basket simply for looking like him. Prior to the 1998 Rumble, Austin had been causing so much havoc that everyone in WWE wanted a piece of his flesh - and Los Boricuas thought they got it that night when they found, and attacked, a large bald man in the back. Turns out, though, that the man they attacked was Skull, and when the No. 22 entry came about in the Rumble match, the DOA member was still too injured to join twin brother 8-Ball in the ring. Austin, wasn't, though, and he came out at No. 24 and tossed seven Superstars - including 8-Ball, fellow DOA member Chainz, and Los Boricuas leader Savio Vega - en route to his second straight Rumble win.

1999: HEAD-BANGED

The 1999 Rumble Match had both a WWE Championship Match at WrestleMania and a possible $100,000 bounty on Austin at stake, but poor Mosh never got his chance to claim either. The rowdy Headbanger drew No. 11, but he was attacked by Mabel on the way to the ring and replaced by the future World's Largest Love Machine. Probably a good thing, though, because Mabel lasted all of 90 seconds, taking a handful of competitors out before being kidnapped by Mideon and the Acolytes and eliminated from the match.

2000: FIVE FOR FIGHTING

Kaientai and the Mean Street Posse were supposed to be in the 2000 Royal Rumble, but when they were denied the chance to select numbers (and told they had been replaced) during the Sunday Night Heat broadcast prior to the event, they decided to take matters into their own hands. That involved rushing the ring at various points during the match to attack the participants, but it went poorly for them every time - especially for poor Taka Michinoku, who suffered a serious injury upon being thrown out of the match for the second time.

2001: LO DOWN'S DIRTY SHAME

The Royal Rumble Match just wasn't to be for neither Mosh nor Kaientai, who were foiled again in 2001. On the Sunday Night Heat preceding that year's event, Mosh (then known as Chaz) and D'Lo Brown defeated Kaientai in a tag team match where the winning team would be afforded one spot in the Rumble itself - but Lo Down never got to choose, because their spot was instead given to future WWE Hall of Famer Drew Carey, who was at the event to promote a comedy endeavor but instead became the No. 5 entrant in the Rumble Match after running afoul of Vince McMahon.

2004: THE LITTLEST DUDLEY GETS SPIKED

No. 13 wasn't so lucky for Spike Dudley in the 2004 Rumble, thanks to some supernatural forces; in this case, when the No. 13 bell sounded, so, too, did the Undertaker's signature gong. Kane, who was dominating in the ring at the time, turned toward the entrance ramp in disbelief after hearing the bells of his brother, whom he had buried alive just months earlier at Survivor Series, and the distraction allowed Booker T to dump the Big Red Machine from the match. Little Spike unfortunately chose to make his way out for that No. 13 entry as Kane was heading to the back, and the Big Red Machine gave the runt of the Dudley litter a thunderous chokeslam on the entrance ramp for his troubles, taking Spike out of the match before he ever entered.

2004: TEST FAILED

Later in that same 2004 match, the No. 21 entry came and went without a participant, until cameras in the back found Test unconscious. Stone Cole Steve Austin, then the WWE's "sheriff," came to investigate, and after yelling at someone off-screen he assumed responsible for the attack, Austin sent that mystery man to the ring as the new No. 21. The mystery man turned out to be Mick Foley, who got a chance to further his issues with "Legend Killer" Randy Orton by entering the Rumble and eliminating Orton (as well as himself) from the match. The attack also brought Test full circle, as he had done the exact same thing to Scotty 2 Hotty at the 2001 Survivor Series to usurp Scotty's spot in the Immunity Battle Royal, a match he went on to win.

2005: HOTTY, OR NOT

Speaking of poor Scotty 2 Hotty, he was the No. 15 entrant into the 2005 Rumble Match, bur never made it in thanks to a disgruntled Muhammad Hassan. Moments before Scotty's turn to enter came up, Hassan, who was the No. 13 entrant, had been dumped by a group of six, and he protested to the referees as Orlando Jordan entered at No. 14; his gripe was unsettled, though, and when Scotty 2 Hotty tried to enter at No. 15, Hassan attacked him in the entranceway and took him out of the match.

2015: AXELMANIA BEGINS

And finally, we come to 2015, when Curtis Axel looked to follow in the footsteps of father Mr. Perfect and wreak havoc in the Rumble. The only havoc that was wreaked, however, was courtesy of Erick Rowan, who, upon seeing former Wyatt Family mates Bray Wyatt and Luke Harper as the only two men in the ring, attacked No. 6 entry Axel and ostensibly took his place. Axel never entered the match and went on to claim that he was the uncrowned winner, but again, all he got for his troubles was another beating from Rowan, and several more from other established WWE Superstars.
