9. Most Total Minutes Spent In Rumble Matches (231 - Triple H)
Triple H has been one of the most successful wrestlers of the past 20 years, so it is no surprise that he clocks in with the most total minutes spent in the Royal Rumble at 231. The amazing part of Triple H having this record is that he has only been in a total of eight Royal Rumble matches; which is mainly due to the fact that he was wrestling to defend or obtain the WWE or World Championships. Triple H has won the Royal Rumble once (2002); while being the bridesmaid twice (2008 & 2009). He was the 2nd to last guy to be eliminated in 2006, and that was monumental due to the fact that he spent a total of 60:09 in the match; which ranks fourth all-time for the most spent in one Rumble match. Triple H will have this record of 231 total minutes in the Royal Rumble for a few years at least as the closest full-time wrestler to the record is Kane at 178 minutes; which ranks 5th. Cody Rhodes who ranks seventh with a total of 160 minutes, is definitely one to take that title as he is only 29 years old, and should have a long career ahead of him yet.
