Like a lot of these records, we could see several expanded or fall at any given moment, depending on whether a wrestler appears in another Royal Rumble.

In this case, Undertaker holds the current record for most years between his first and last Rumble appearance. He first climbed into the ring for the annual event way back in 1991, and took his last bow in 2017. During that time, Taker competed in 11 Rumbles, winning the 2007 edition.

Interestingly, his brother Kane could tie his record this year if he enters the 2022 Rumble, having first appeared in the 1996 version as Isaac Yankem, DDS (he currently sits at 25 years, having competed last year). If he decided to come out of retirement, someone like “Stone Cold” Steve Austin could also tie that mark, having entered his first Rumble in 1996 as well.

There’s always a chance that some legend or Hall-of-Famer from way back in the day, like late 80s or early 90s, gets a spot this year to shatter the record (if Shawn Michaels were to make a run this year, it would be 33 years since his first appearance in 1989).
