10 Records That Could Be Broken At WWE Royal Rumble 2021

7. Longest Time Without Eliminating Anyone (Men’s)

On last week's SmackDown, Sami Zayn hilariously brought out some "documentarians" to help chronicle WWE's bid to hold him down. His booking might lead to the ultimate embarrassment come the Rumble, but it'd be difficult for Sami to beat Santino Marella's record-setting one second elimination.

So, he might try to top his 2017 exploits instead.

Back then, Zayn went an incredible 47:12 in the Rumble. Rather unbelievably, he worked that long without eliminating even one fellow entrant before eventually being thrown over the top by The Undertaker. Sami also took Goldberg's Jackhammer for good measure and generally acted like a pest for the old-timers.

Could he, or someone else, go longer without achieving at least one elimination in 2021? A solid 50 minute run in the Rumble would give Zayn ample footage for that highly-anticipated documentary... which will probably never air.
