11 WWE Royal Rumble Statistics You Need To Know
3. Most Eliminations, Cumulative
The longer a wrestler is around in WWE and enters the Royal
Rumble, the more likely he has eliminated a decent number of wrestlers. It’s
just simple math.
Sure enough, no one who has eliminated more than 20 men total has entered fewer than four Rumbles. Kane holds the record, eliminating 43 (or 44, depending on the source) men in his 19 Rumbles. The next closest active wrestlers are the Undertaker with 35, Triple H with 33 and Big Show with 31 eliminations. Although it looks like no one will be able to catch Kane – since these three men are likely winding down their careers – there is someone who could eventually surpass the Big Red Monster.
Roman Reigns has tossed 23 men in just three Rumbles. That’s an insane pace of nearly eight men per year, which while unsustainable, puts him in a position to pass 30 in his next two Rumbles. If he does hit that level, then it could just be a matter of time before Roman once again supplants Kane in the Rumble record books.
