Throughout the 32 years of its existence, the Royal Rumble match has introduced multiple talented superstars to the world. While some of them went on to make a name for themselves after winning it all, some had equally impressive careers despite not winning the 30-man contest.

Chris Jericho is one of those superstars who have never won the Royal Rumble but still had a successful in-ring career in the WWE. The current AEW World Champion had an impactful career with the largest pro-wrestling promotion in the world.

He has competed in eleven Royal Rumble matches throughout his WWE career, and let's take a look at all of his performances in detail.

11 Royal Rumble 2010

Chris Jericho's most underwhelming performance in a Royal Rumble match came in the 2010 event. He entered the match on the 28th spot and didn't get even a single elimination to his name.

Jericho's time in the match came to an end at the hands of his former tag team partner Edge, who made a surprise appearance returning from an injury and turned out to be the eventual winner.

Y2J spent only 02:24 in the match as he got overwhelmed by the returning Edge as soon as he entered the contest.

10 Greatest Royal Rumble - 2018

The WWE Universe got to witness two Royal Rumble events in 2018, with the second one taking place at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, under the name Greatest Royal Rumble with 50 superstars competing in the titular match.

Chris Jericho didn't have a very successful outing even after entering as the last superstar into the contest. He spent only 03:18 in the ring, with his only elimination being Shelton Benjamin.

Y2J got tossed over the top rope by the eventual winner Braun Strowman as the match would mark his final appearance for WWE before jumping to AEW.

9 Royal Rumble 2000

Chris Jericho's first appearance in a Royal Rumble match came at the titular event in 2000, and Y2J failed to make an impression after lasting only for 3:47.

Jericho entered as the 15th entrant into the match and looked to make a name for himself in his first attempt at main eventing WrestleMania. He managed to toss Bob Backlund over the top rope in the short time he spent in the ring, but it would be his only elimination in the match.

He would eventually get eliminated by Chyna, whom he had defeated earlier the same night in a triple threat match for the Intercontinental Championship.

Y2J spent 11:34 in the match and ended up being the runner-up of the contest after getting eliminated by the eventual winner Sheamus.

7 Royal Rumble 2004

Chris Jericho had another disappointing outing in the 2004 Royal Rumble match even after entering the match in the 25th spot. Jericho was already in a feud with Christian at the time and got one over on his rival by eliminating him, which also happened to be his only elimination in the match.

Y2J spent only 14:58 in the match, before getting eliminated by Chris Benoit, who would turn out to be the winner. Jericho did manage to salvage some pride after winning the Intercontinental Title for a record 7th time in his career and made up for his 2004 woes.

6 Royal Rumble 2005

Chris Jericho had the unfortunate privilege of entering in the earlier slots in most of the Royal Rumbles he competed. He suffered the same fate in 2005 when he drew the number 11 and entered the match with 19 other superstars to follow.

Y2J got two eliminations to his name in the match by tossing out René Duprée by himself and he joined five other superstars to do a combined elimination on Muhammad Hassan.

3 Royal Rumble 2016

Chris Jericho had an extended run in WWE from 2016 until his departure, and he kicked off his full-time in-ring return with an amazing performance at the 2016 Royal Rumble match.

The 2016 Royal Rumble match had a different stipulation as it was not for a spot in the WrestleMania 32 main event, but instead, Roman Reigns defended the WWE Championship in the match.

It would be Jericho's final appearance in the annual Royal Rumble event as he left the WWE a year later.
