7 Record Book Changes That Happened At WWE Royal Rumble 2016
5. Longest Time Spent In Single Rumble
Rey Mysterio doesnt have to worry. His record 62-minute run in the 2006 Royal Rumble is still safe as the record performance. Although no new record was set for longevity in a Rumble match, two men nearly went coast-to-coast and put their names pretty high on the overall rankings Sunday. Roman Reigns lasted 59:50, good for sixth all-time and just missing placing fourth by 25 seconds. (Granted, Roman spent nearly half of that time knocked out of the match, but he technically was still part of the Rumble.) Reigns also now holds the third-longest time by someone who did not eventually win the Rumble. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4DY8XNZu1M Another performer who placed high on the list was Chris Jericho, who entered at #6 and lasted until the fifth-to-last wrestler, hanging in for 50:50. That is good for 12th all-time, besting Randy Ortons winning performance in 2009 from the #8 spot. Jerichos longevity also paid dividends when you factor in his other performances
