The longer a wrestler is around in WWE and enters the Royal Rumble, the more likely he has eliminated a decent number of wrestlers. Its 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 42 (or 43, depending on the source) men in his 18 Rumbles. The next closest active wrestlers are the Undertaker with 35, Big Show with 30 and Triple H with 28 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOJj2glimVo Roman Reigns has tossed 18 men in just two Rumbles. Thats an insane pace of nine men per year, which while unsustainable, puts him in a position to easily pass 20 this year, and possibly even reach 25 eliminations. 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.
