The 2021 men’s Royal Rumble match lasted fifty-eight minutes and thirty seconds.
Randy Orton was in there for the entire match and got ZERO eliminations.
Okay, so Orton was removed early on after a ringside brawl with Edge before crawling back in at the match’s conclusion, RKOing his rival before Edge sent him flying but officially, he competed in the entire match without scoring a single elimination.
Saying that the Royal Rumble is all about the numbers has become something of a running gag in recent years for records precisely like this one. It counts as an official record, but who wants it? The fact it’s held by a top WWE act and former two-time Rumble winner makes the fact all the more laughable.
Don’t expect to see it featured in the ‘by the numbers’ video come the night of the Royal Rumble.
