Previous Record: 56:52, Bianca Belair, 2021 New Record: 61:08, Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan, 2023

This year, Triple H seemed hellbent on toppling longevity records by having his superstars go out there and just endure in their Royal Rumble matches.

Rhea Ripley and Liv Morgan entered at #1 and #2 respectively, and they were still there at the end of the match, a feat we saw in 1995, when Shawn Michaels and the British Bulldog were the first two in and last two left, with HBK winning the match.

Interestingly, despite winning, Ripley co-holds this record with the woman she eliminated because her ejection from the match also signalled the end of the Rumble. It’s a rare instance of the runner-up actually tying from a time spent in the match standpoint.
