Recordholder: Brock Lesnar, 13, 2020

We said we’d revisit Brock Lesnar’s historic performance in the 2020 Royal Rumble.

Entering at #1, Brock did something no one had ever done before: he tossed 13 straight men, bouncing every person who came his way until Ricochet entered at #15. He and Drew McIntyre (#16) combined to stun and bounce Lesnar from the Rumble.

But his 13 consecutive eliminations are by far the most in Rumble history. The next nearest performance is Hulk Hogan’s 8 straight tosses in 1989. A handful of guys have tossed 7 consecutive, but that would mean someone would need to double that figure to break this record.

And while we all know in wrestlers to “never say never,” this is one record that is going to stand the test of time. And that’s not a prediction; that’s a spoiler.
