Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar are currently joint top of the 'Most Eliminations In A Single Rumble Match' table with 13. Next, Bloodline leader Roman Reigns comes in with 12 (which he scored back in 2014). Will WWE ever book somebody to smash that record?

Yes, yes they will.

Solo Sikoa clearly has a bright future ahead of him on the main roster. He's been protected since being called up from NXT, and could easily snag the "Diesel spot" in this year's match. The shocking thing here isn't that Solo could become a record breaker, it's that he'd have to eliminate pretty much half the field to do it.

Now that's a push. One wrestler tossing 14/15 guys over the top rope to the floor isn't something that WWE would book for the hell of it with just anybody. If this happens, then you'll know that big things are coming for Solo in 2023.
