#7 A 51-Man Battle Royal

Mansoor bags the win Storm and Ripley

Last year's Greatest Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia saw 50 WWE Superstars battling it out for a prestigious green Championship belt, with Braun Strowman winning the free-for-all in the end.

WWE outdid itself this year, and we saw a 51-Man Battle Royal at WWE Super ShowDown 2019, with NXT Superstar Mansoor winning the match by eliminating Elias. Thus, WWE broke its own record of the most number of participants in a match at Super ShowDown.
