American Nightmare Cody Rhodes on Sunday won the Men's Royal Rumble 2024 for the second time in a row, Pink Villa reported.

The winner will now be making his way to World Wrestling Entertainment WWE's most sought-after event — the Wrestle Mania.

The match held at Tropicana Field in Florida was an entertaining event that saw some surprising winners. 

In the women's match, Bayley walked away with the win while in the title matches, both Logan Paul and Roman Reigns managed to defend their titles.

Rhodes has broken a 26-year record by winning the Royal Rumble twice in a row. The last man to achieve the record was Stone Cold Steve Austin.

There have been a total of 37 Royal Rumble matches, and only 10 people have won the Royal Rumble twice, and only three have won the Royal Rumble back-to-back.

Here’s a list of WWE superstars who won Royal Rumble twice in a row:
