#6. Brock Lesnar set the record for the longest time between Rumble victories

Winning the Royal Rumble is an exceptionally enormous achievement. However, some all-time greats have been able to stand tall in the event more than once.

With his victory in 2022 events, Brock Lesnar added his name to the list of these legends. Moreover, his victories are 19 years apart, which is more than anyone else. The Beast Incarnate's first victory came in 2003.

Triple H previously held the distinction, who triumphed in the event with a gap of 14 years (2002 and 2016).

#5. Brock Lesnar is the second superstar to enter Rumble as World Champion and walk out as Rumble winner

The winner of the famous Battle Royale gets a world title opportunity at WrestleMania. This indirectly implies that the victory is not meant for world champions.

Though Brock Lesnar was not the WWE Champion when he won the match, he nevertheless walked in the premium live event as the champion. This is the second instance when a superstar who was the world champion at the start of the night won the Royal Rumble.

Hulk Hogan originally achieved this feat in 1990. However, unlike Lesnar, The Hulkster did so without losing his WWF Championship. Though he didn't earn a WrestleMania opportunity, he proved he was the best in the business.
