1 and lasting more than 76 minutes before he was eliminated by Big Cass and settled for a third-place finish. Most total time spent in Royal Rumble matches - WWE historyĪt the 2018 Greatest Royal Rumble, Daniel Bryan broke Mysterio's record for most time spent in a single Royal Rumble match, entering at No. If Mysterio can last 10 minutes, he will join Chris Jericho as the only superstars to spend more than four hours combined in the ring in Royal Rumble matches. Rey Mysterio will appear in this year's Royal Rumble Match and already has the third-most combined ring time in Royal Rumble match history. Kingston is also famous for displaying his athleticism and creativity to avoid elimination in the Royal Rumble Match. Most Royal Rumble match appearances entering 2020 Dolph Ziggler and the returning Big Show could also compete in their 13th Royal Rumble this year. If Kofi Kingston competes this year, he will be appearing in his 13th Royal Rumble Match, tying Goldust for second-most in WWE history. ■ Braun Strowman: 30 Another Rumble moment for Kofi? ■ 2018 Braun Strowman: 13 (2018 Greatest Royal Rumble) Most eliminations in a single Royal Rumble match Dominant performancesĪt the 2018 Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia, Braun Strowman set the record for most eliminations in a single Rumble with 13, breaking Reigns' record of 12 in 2014. Kane holds the record for most career eliminations with 42. This balances out a stretch from 2001 to '07 in which seven straight Royal Rumble winners went on to become world champion at WrestleMania. However, only four of the past 11 Royal Rumble winners walked away from the "Granddaddy of Them All" as champion. It is an annual tradition that the winner of the Royal Rumble match earns a world title match at WrestleMania. Austin won two straight in 19, Shawn Michaels won in 19 and Hogan won in 19. If Rollins competes in this year's match, he could be the fourth superstar to win back-to-back Royal Rumbles - and the previous three to do so are all in the WWE Hall of Fame. 10 and lasted 43 minutes on his way to winning the men's Royal Rumble match. Will Rollins repeat?Īt last year's Royal Rumble event, Seth Rollins entered at No. That is the most top-five finishes in Royal Rumble history. He could join Steve Austin as the only superstars to win three Royal Rumbles (Orton won in 20).Īdditionally, Orton has been among the final five remaining superstars in eight of his 11 Royal Rumble appearances, including a fifth-place finish in 2019. Randy Orton has also announced his entry in this year's men's Royal Rumble match. Hulk Hogan entered the 1990 Royal Rumble Match as WWE champion and won the match from the No. Unfortunately for Lesnar and Intercontinental champion Shinsuke Nakamura, only one superstar has ever entered a Royal Rumble match holding a championship and then gone on to win. That is more winners than the coveted No. 2 spot and having to begin the Royal Rumble match might be a huge disadvantage, four superstars have actually gone wire-to-wire to win. WWE champion Brock Lesnar not only announced his entry into the 2020 Royal Rumble Match, but he will also be the No. We watched the tape, crunched the numbers and came up with the top 10 stats you need to know heading into this year's men's Royal Rumble Match. In looking back at 30-plus years of Royal Rumble matches, while a lot of the most interesting and relevant numbers involve accumulation - such as most eliminations or most time spent in the ring - there's plenty more to parse and examine as we look forward to the showcase Sunday night. Sunday night marks the 33rd WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view event (32nd if you don't include 2018's Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia). Will history be made at the 2020 WWE Royal Rumble?
