10 Most Obscure WWE Royal Rumble Records

10. Biggest Gap Between First And Last Rumbles

Recordholder: Undertaker, 26 years (1991-2017)

When you talk about difficult records to overcome, it’s not always eliminations and long stays in a Rumble that are unbreakable. Sometimes, it’s as simple as a wrestler having longevity with the company itself that produces a lasting record.

The Undertaker is a WWE company man through and through, and his storied career is synonymous with those three letters. Although he has only won one Royal Rumble and isn’t the most prolific performer in Rumble history, he does hold one rather interesting record: Taker has the most years between his first and last Rumble appearances.

UT entered his first Rumble in 1991 – only the fourth iteration of the winter classic – and competed in his 11th and final Rumble in 2017, a gap of 26 years. To break that record this year, someone who entered their first Rumble in 1998 or earlier would need to walk down that aisle. Unless Kane (who has a 25-year gap between his first entry in 1996 as Isaac Yankem and his last in 2021) makes a surprise appearance, this record likely is safe for another year.
