1. Most Eliminations In A Single Rumble Match (Roman Reigns)
In even in early 2014, WWE knew that they wanted to make Roman Reigns the company's next superstar. While Reigns, still a member of The Shield, wasn't chosen to win the match, WWE gave him some bragging rights with an impressive performance - he eliminated 12 wrestlers before being tossed, breaking a 13-year-old record set by Kane. Once again, WWE wants to keep Reigns strong, but he doesn't seem likely to win. Just as his #1 entry slot allows him to break the record for most time spent in a single Rumble match, it allows him to rack up elimination after elimination during the course of the bout - possibly even en route to breaking his own record. Win or lose, that's an noteworthy achievement.
