7 Record Book Changes That Happened At WWE Royal Rumble 2016

6. Cumulative Eliminations

Similarly, Kane continues to hold the Royal Rumble record for cumulative eliminations throughout the event€™s history. Though he is no longer the monster who tossed 11 men in the 2001 Rumble, Kane still added to his record total of 42 Sunday, eliminating R-Truth from the match before he was tossed. Kane€™s 43 eliminations puts him 10 above the next active competitor, Triple H, and 12 higher than Big Show. Once again looking for young blood to one day supplant Kane, you€™d have to look at Roman Reigns, who amazingly had his worst Rumble performance Sunday, eliminating only five men, bringing his three-year total to 23. Still, at that pace, he could reach 40 in another four years, making this a record that could fall. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOJj2glimVo John Cena is the only active wrestler who has more than 20 eliminations, so if you€™re a betting person, place some money on Roman.
