Royal Rumble is one of the favorite pay-per-views in WWE. The reason is not just championship fights but the 30-man Royal Rumble match. Every year, the 30-man Royal Rumble match has provided numerous moments. From special comebacks to the 30th entry, from Kane’s long elimination list to Kofi Kingston’s elimination saves. Similarly, the one-second elimination of Santino Marella holds a special place among these moments.
For those who don’t know, WWE wrestler Santino Marella was eliminated in less than a second of the 30-man Royal Rumble match. He was eliminated by Kane, and years later, Marella talks about that incident.
Marella said:
“It all began with a piece of chicken that I took!”

Here is the complete statement:
“Earlier in the day (Royal Rumble), we were at the cafeteria, and several fighters were present, including Kane. We both saw a piece of chicken and wanted to have it. But my fork beat his fork, and I took the piece of chicken.”
“In return, Kane was looking at him in anger, and I said, ‘You have to be ready, buddy.’ Later in the Royal Rumble fight, he close-lined and eliminated me in one second. Then Kane said to me, You have to be ready, buddy.”
In the heat of the moment, this turned out to be one of the most memorable Royal Rumble moments in WWE history.
