10 Obscure WWE Royal Rumble Records

Record-holder(s): Shayna Baszler, 7, Hulk Hogan, 6.75

When it comes to the total number of Royal Rumble eliminations, the legendary Hulk Hogan actually isn’t as high on the list as you might think, clocking in tied for 9th (and if Randy Orton eliminates one person, he’ll bump Hulk to #10).

But Hogan only entered four Rumbles, way back in the early days of the event. And in those four Rumbles, the Hulkster tossed 27 men for an astonishing 6.75 average. Even Brock Lesnar, who jettisoned 13 men from the 2020 Rumble, doesn’t have an average that high. Lesnar clocks in at an average of 6 in his four Rumbles, tied with “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, who has eliminated 36 from six Rumbles.

For the women (and overall), Shayna Baszler has tossed an astonishing 14 women in her two Rumbles, which actually exceeds Hulk’s record. However, that pace seems almost unsustainable. Baszler obviously has the record, though if she eliminates six or fewer women in this year’s match, she’ll fall below Hogan’s mark.

It's worth noting that while Kane holds the overall record for eliminations with 46, that's spread over 20 Rumble appearances for a dismal 2.3 average.
