12 WWE Royal Rumble Stats You Need To Know

7. Women Have Records To Break

Austin Royal Rumble 2001
WWE

Although this year marks the first all-female Royal Rumble, women already have competed in Rumble matches, and thus, there already are some records on the books for the female superstars to break.

Chyna competed in two Rumbles (1999, 2000), so unless Beth Phoenix (2010) or Kharma (2012) enter this year’s Rumble, her record for appearances will stand. Chyna also has the record for eliminations, with two, while Phoenix and Kharma each have tossed one man.

However, it’s Beth Phoenix who hold the records for single and cumulative time in the Rumble, logging 1:37 in 2010. Chyna and Kharma each have lasted for about a minute cumulatively. Obviously, this “record” will be shattered in the women’s Rumble.
