10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Nov 22)

Asking what Braun Strowman, Roman Reigns and ex-All Japan Women legend Aja Kong have in common sounds like the beginning of a bad wrestling joke. It's not, unless you happen to consider Survivor Series eliminations rather funny.

At this year's event, according to Sportskeeda, Braun tied the record for most eliminations in a single match. He pinned Jeff Hardy, Shane McMahon, The Miz and Rey Mysterio in the Raw vs. SmackDown battle, and that brings him even with Reigns (The Usos, Goldust and Mysterio) from 2013 and Kong (Sakie Hasegawa, Chaparita Asari, Kyoko Inoue and Alundra Blayze) from 1995.

It's an incredible stat.

Don't forget that Strowman also eliminated 13 members of the 50-strong Greatest Royal Rumble in April and five out of a possible six at Elimination Chamber in February. With that kind of record, it's a slight shock WWE didn't book him to beat Samoa Joe last Sunday as well.
