The 2020 Royal Rumble PPV was only the third time that the event featured a women's Rumble match. As such, those three years have continuously seen new records set when it comes to the women's over-the-top extravaganza.

One such record that was set in 2020, was the highest number of 'most eliminations' in a single Rumble during the short history of the women's over-the-top match.

That record was actually set by two people during the 2020 bout, with both Bianca Belair and Shayna Baszler each eliminating eight people during that match. To put that into context, the most eliminations in a single Rumble by the legends like Hulk Hogan, the Undertaker, John Cena, CM Punk and Yokozuna was seven people each.

When it comes to their rivals, Belair and Baszler are head and shoulders above any other females on the 'most eliminations' front - with five eliminations achieved by both Michelle McCool in 2018 and Charlotte Flair in 2019.

Another record that Shayna Baszler has, is that 2020 saw the Queen of Spades set a women's record for the most continuous eliminations, having tossed out seven opponents in a row.
