10 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble 2018 Facts
1. The Royal Rumble Match With The Least 'Most Eliminations' Number
When thinking back across the history of the Royal Rumble PPV, one of the many reasons that make the Rumble match itself such an exciting prospect is the thought of seeing which dominant force of nature will take on the 'monster' spot responsible for eliminating a significant number of people.
For example, the 2020 men's Royal Rumble had Brock Lesnar eliminate 13 bodies, while that year's female equivalent had Bianca Belair and Shayna Baszler both throw eight rivals over the top rope.
Other notable displays of dominance over the years include Roman Reigns in 2014 (12 eliminations), Kane in 2001 (11 eliminations), 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin in 1997 (ten eliminations) and Hulk Hogan in 1989 (ten eliminations).
In the 2018 Royal Rumble, though, this is the match that has the lowest number when it comes to the 'most eliminated' individual statistics.
Eventual winner Shinsuke Nakamura eliminated the relatively modest number of three people during his 45-minute stay in the Royal Rumble, and the two who amassed the most eliminations in this bout were Finn Bálor and Roman Reigns - who both only managed to eliminate four people.
