WWE's traditional January PPV, The Royal Rumble, is always a high point of the PPV Schedule

#3 Chris Jericho (2016) - Eliminated 26th - 1 Elimination

Chris Jericho and AJ Styles at the 2016 Royal Rumble

The GOAT, Chris Jericho, is one of the best Royal Rumble participants ever as well as one of the best wrestlers ever. A part of Jericho's legendary status is due to his performances at the Royal Rumble, including his ironman effort in 2016 where he lasted until the final 6 before being eliminated by Dean Ambrose.

While lasting 51 minutes and 20 seconds in the Royal Rumble, he pushed his total Rumble participation time up to 4 hours, 1 minute and 17 seconds and would go on to eclipse this performance in the 2017 Royal Rumble by posting a time of 1 hour and 13 seconds. Due to these ironman performances, Jericho is clear at the top of the longest cumulative time spent in the Royal Rumble, clocking in at over 5 hours, a full hour ahead of Triple H who is the next best.

Even though Jericho is seemingly no longer interested in appearing with the WWE, it seems like this record will take some effort to break.
