5. The Annual Triple H Waste Of Time Award (14:50 - Big E)
Another unofficial award that is given out in this article "The Triple H Waste Of Time Award" stems from a past article 10 Key Numbers Associated With The Royal Rumble. In 1996, Triple H entered into his first Royal Rumble as the Blue Blood Hunter Hearst Helmsley and was actually the ironman of that match. The key factor in this is that he lasted over 48 minutes and didn't have one single elimination! That type of stat definitely deserves its own type of unofficial award. This year's "Waste Of Time" goes to Big E from A New Day. The newly formed 3-man stable of A New Day had it rough right from the get-go in the pre-show when they were boo'd out of the building by the Philadelphia crowd. They weren't warmly welcomed in the Rumble match either, and even Kofi's avoiding getting eliminated gimmick is getting stale. While it wasn't anywhere close to Triple H's waste of time record, Big E was in the match for 14 minutes and 50 seconds without a single elimination.
