Flair won the title in the Rumble match in 1992, but lost it to Savage at Wrestlemania. The only time the title has been up for grabs in the Rumble, I think.

Cena in 2008 cashed in at No Way Out, not at WM. He won that match via DQ, and lost the triple threat at WM which had nothing to do with the Royal Rumble.

Of course Edge was the most recent one, there hasn't been any Wrestlemanias since that one, you silly goose.

Vince McMahon won the 1999 Royal Rumble and didn't even wrestle at WrestleMania. Sloppy, LC.

Well, technically that means that Vince did not win his match.

But LC did miss it, so boo to him.

I didn't think Austin was the "official winner" at '97?

yea he was. When the PPV ended, Austin was the winner.

Because there was controversy, however, they did a Fatal Fourway at the next PPV. And Bret won the belt :cool:

Then he lost it to Sid a couple weeks later :(

yea, had to think about '99 for a minute when I was doing it yesterday. I knew what the main event was at Mania 15, but I had to think for a few minutes to remember Vince won

Actually, Bret lost the belt the next night to Sid.
