WWE Royal Rumble 2016: 10 New Records It Could Create

2. Longest Time In A Single Rumble Match (Roman Reigns)

In 2006, #2 entry Rey Mysterio set a record for the longest amount of time spent in a single Royal Rumble - 1:02:12. It took him more than an hour, but he won the match, earning the right to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 22. In the decade since Mysterio's performance, nobody has come close to breaking his record. Given the fact that defending WWE Champion Roman Reigns is confirmed as entering the Rumble match at #1, though, that could all change - Reigns is likely going to be losing his title in the match, but WWE wants to keep him strong, so expect him to last a long time. If he makes it to the finish of the match, he could edge out Mysterio's record.
