7 Record Book Changes That Happened At WWE Royal Rumble 2016
2. Most Rumble Victories
While Stone Cold Steve Austins record three Royal Rumble victories (1997-98, 2001) is still intact, the field for second-place got a little more crowded Sunday. Triple H won his second Royal Rumble, tying him with Hulk Hogan, Shawn Michaels, John Cena and Batista. Of the five currently with two wins, Cena is probably most likely to win a third Rumble, though even that is pretty unlikely. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrZ4GGR7fL4 One thing thats interesting to note is that with all the rumors swirling around the Rumble this year, the three men most mentioned as the probable winners (Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns and Triple H) all already had one Rumble win under their belts. That meant that whoever won would have captured their second victory. Also, Triple H is the only multi-Rumble winner whose victories all resulted in world title reigns.
