10 Key Numbers Associated With The Royal Rumble

2. Most Eliminations In One Rumble (12 - Roman Reigns)

Of all of the entries in this article, this will be the one you will hear the most about over the next couple of weeks. The WWE is definitely trying to build up Roman Reigns to be their next golden boy, and he will definitely be a favorite to win the match, especially after last year's performance. Kane had held the record for most eliminations in a Royal Rumble with 11, and that record stood for 13 years until Roman Reigns dominated his way to the final two by eliminating 12 wrestlers before Batista got the better of him. In the 2014 Royal Rumble, Reigns entered in right in the middle at #15 (coincidentally a spot that has never won the Royal Rumble). He would last 33:41 on his way to breaking Kane's record by throwing out guys such as Kofi Kingston, Dolph Ziggler, and Kevin Nash right in a row. With the help of his Shield brothers, they would eliminate the Great Khali. He also got some cheapies by eliminating El Torito and JBL. He'd go on another roll by eliminating four out of the last five before losing to Batista. It will definitely be interesting to see if he can top his own record in 2015.
