10 Records That Could Be Broken At WWE Royal Rumble 2021
2. Most Eliminations Ever
WWE don't count Kane's one elimination under the Isaac Yankem gimmick (Fatu in 1996, if you're interested), but the big man has 45 overall. 44 of those came as his infinitely more famous character, and that's why there was a time when Kane was regarded as a king of the Rumble match.
The closest competitors to his crown include The Undertaker (who has 40 eliminations in total), Shawn Michaels (also 40), Steve Austin (36) and Triple H (33). Three of those four are pretty much retired from the ring - Trips himself looked done, but recent events on Raw suggest he still has some gas in the tank.
Would it be ridiculous if he eliminated enough men to beat Kane's record in 2021? Probably.
Braun Strowman is on 32, so he could maybe do it instead. Other candidates would be Big Show (but who really wants to see that?) and Roman Reigns. 'Tribal Chief' lovers will see their fella' work a Universal Title bout on the 2021 Rumble card instead though.
