#4 The ladies keep it late

When including stats and facts about the Women's Royal Rumble match, it is important to keep in mind that the bout itself is relatively new as only two of such encounters have ever taken place.

In that short space of time, however, there are a couple of things you may not know - both winners of the Rumble have entered the match late, meaning there has been little reward for those who put in some real-time at the office.

Natalya, for instance, has nothing to show for the fact that, across both the 2018 and 2019 Rumbles, she's clocked up a total of one hour, 21 minutes in the ring. That's tough going.

Indeed, the two winners of the women's Rumble matches have rocked up late - Asuka entered at number 25 for her victory two years ago, while Becky Lynch strolled down to ringside at number 28. Good work if you can get it!


#5 Nineteen times for Glenn

We all know about the Iron Men and Women, and who has done the biggest and baddest things at the Rumble. But, can you name the man who has the distinction of simply having shown up the most? Don't worry, I can help.

None other than Glenn Jacobs, aka Kane, is the man who has featured in the Royal Rumble the most, at 19. The Mayor of Knox County these days, he was a regular face in the Rumble when he was performing for WWE full time, so much so that nobody entered more Rumbles than him.

The one caveat is that you have to count the times he appeared as Fake Diesel and Issac Yankem, too. But who wouldn't count them, right? Thanks to the fantastic Smarkout Moment for their superb analysis of past Royal Rumbles, which has played a big part in bringing you some of the above useless trivia!
