Not just content with getting the most eliminations ever achieved in a single Royal Rumble match, Brock Lesnar went one further and nabbed himself another record.

What made Lesnar's elimination of 13 people even more impressive, is that those 13 eliminations all came one after the other - handing the Beast Incarnate the record for most consecutive eliminations in a row.

That number of 13 completely dwarfs the previous record of eight, which was achieved by Hulk Hogan back in 1989, brother. Behind Hogan with seven eliminations in a row, there's Diesel (1994), Rikishi (2000), the Great Khali (2007), CM Punk (2011) and Braun Strowman (2017).

The chances of somebody getting, or surpassing, 13 continuous Royal Rumble eliminations? Unless Brock Lesnar decides to enter himself in a Rumble at some point in the future, don't be expecting that record to be broken any time soon.

Unfortunately for Brock, despite his display of utter dominance, a low blow from Ricochet and a Claymore Kick from Drew McIntyre put a stop to Lesnar's path of destruction.
