8 New Records Set At WWE Royal Rumble 2022

8. Most Times Runner-Up – Women

This is a pretty easy, innocuous record. With four women’s Royal Rumbles having taken place previously, there were four different winners and four different runners-up.

Saturday’s Rumble gave us our first repeat offender, as Charlotte Flair finished second for the second time (the other being 2019), being last eliminated by Ronda Rousey. This also was Flair’s fourth time in the final four of a Rumble (winning in 2020), which is also a record.

It’s clear WWE sees Charlotte as the women’s version of Roman Reigns and John Cena, so they make sure to have her at the end of every Rumble to add tension and drama.

Us skeptics would just call it a shallow women’s division and poor building of credible challengers and stars, but your mileage may vary.
