8 New Records Set At WWE Royal Rumble 2023

8. Shortest Run, Women

Previous Record: 8 seconds, Liv Morgan, 2019
New Record: 5 seconds, Chelsea Green, 2023

Let’s start with the most ignominious record broken Saturday, the shortest appearance in a women’s Royal Rumble match, also known as the Futility Award.

In 2019, Liv Morgan set the low bar of 8 seconds, which might be great for bull riding, but is terrible for a Rumble. Saturday, a returning Chelsea Green made her first appearance in WWE since being released in April 2021… and promptly was tossed from the Rumble in a record 5 seconds.

Perhaps this will be woven into a story about her return, because otherwise, many fans’ first impression of Green is not going to be a favorable one.
