WWE Royal Rumble 2016: 10 New Records It Could Create

7. Shortest Time In The Ring For A Royal Rumble Win (Triple H)

The Royal Rumble is a grueling exhibition, and even the men who enter the match toward the end still have to contend with other (sometimes many other) opponents. In 2007, The Undertaker became the first man to win from #30, but he still had to last 13:15 to claim victory. Likewise, John Cena won from #30 in 2008, but it still took him 9:51 to clear the ring. The winner who racked up the least amount of ring time en route to victory is Edge, who entered at #29 in 2010 and only needed 7:19 to eliminate Cena and Chris Jericho to win. This year, if rumors are to be believed, Triple H will be a surprise entry at #30. Given that he's the favorite to win, he could easily claim the WWE Title in record time.
