10 Key Numbers From The 2015 WWE Royal Rumble

6. Two Milestones For The World's Largest Athlete (30 & 10 - Big Show)

The 42-year old "World's Largest Athlete" in the Big Show had one of his best Royal Rumbles of his career thanks to being aligned with The Authority and getting help from Kane. The 2015 Royal Rumble saw a couple of milestones reached by Show with his 30th elimination in his 10th Royal Rumble match. Not only did Big Show reach 30 career eliminations, but he also moved into the top five of all-time for throwing wrestlers over the top rope, passing Triple H and Hulk Hogan. In this year's Royal Rumble overall, Big Show was one shy of joining a three other men for the most eliminations as he had five. Four of those five were with the assist of Kane, with his lone solo elimination was of Jack Swagger. He entered the Rumble match at #29, and did a lot of damage for the eight minutes he was in the match. You could say that Big Show was one of the catalysts for having the crowd turn on the match as he eliminated fan favorites such as Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Dolph Ziggler, and Ryback.
