12 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 39, 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 30 men in just five Rumbles. That’s an insane pace of six men per year, which while unsustainable, puts him in a position to top this list someday. Provided he makes a full recovery, we could see this eventually. It’s worth noting that Braun Strowman has pitched 25 men in three Rumbles, which includes his 13 from Greatest Royal Rumble. If we’re counting that, then he’s well on his way as well.
