10 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble 2015 Facts
3. Kane Set Two Milestones
No matter how maddening the casual eliminations of several popular stars by Big Show and Kane were, it wasn't going to get the Philly crowd behind Reigns as a conquering hero. Despite the boundless anger in the air, Rumble veteran Kane managed two historic firsts.
For one, Kane was the first wrestler in Rumble history (and so far the only one) to make 40 eliminations. Kane was sitting on 39 going in, and he and Show's dual elimination of Ryback got him to the milestone. Today, he sits at 44, five ahead of Shawn Michaels and Undertaker's 39 apiece.
He also became the first man to reach the final four on six occasions. His previous instances were in 1997 (as the fake Diesel), 2000, 2001, 2003, and 2008.
