5 records from the Women's Royal Rumble match

The first ever Women's Royal Rumble was definitely a historic one which saw the return of a number of former Women's Champions and WWE Hall of Famers. It seems that even though it was the first match of its kind to take place, there are a number of records that were actually set last night.

The unique part of the first ever match means that the slate is clean and the women all have the potential to set records that can then be broken in the future. The women of WWE main evented The Royal Rumble match last night for the first time in the three-decade-long history of the event and it seems that with it they also made another piece of history for themselves, since it was the first time the women have ever main evented one of WWE's "big four" events.

#5 Quickest elimination

Vickie entered the match at number 16 and lasted for less than a minute

There was always going to be someone who was brought into the match so that they could be quickly eliminated. It seems that on the night the woman that was chosen for this spot was former Raw General Manager Vickie Guerrero.

Vickie made her way to the ring and decided to shout at the likes of Sasha, Michelle McCool and Ruby Riott before all of the women ganged up and eliminated the former valet. It seems that Vickie has now made her way into the record books as the fastest woman eliminated in a Women's Royal Rumble match in 57 seconds. Tamina is a close second on 1:34 followed by Jacqueline on 1:52.

Vickie did go on to knock Carmella out with the Money in the Bank briefcase though, which was quite an entertaining part of the match.

#4 Most eliminations

Michelle had the most eliminations male or female for the 2018 Royal Rumble

Heading into this match it would have been thought that the likes of Nia Jax or Asuka would be the women who were made to look like monsters in this match and eliminate a number of the women who had returned for the match and obviously weren't going to win it.

Incredibly, it is former Women's Champion Michelle McCool who set the record for the most eliminations when she took five women out of the match last night, McCool eliminated Sonya Deville, Liv Morgan, Molly Holly, Lana and helped to eliminate Vickie Guerrero.

Nia Jax is tied for second with Nikki Bella since both women also managed to eliminate four women each.

#3 The most amount of people it took to eliminate one superstar

It took five women to eliminate Nia Jax

There is always the dark horse in any Royal Rumble match that many fans wonder how they are ever going to be lifted over the top rope. It seems that the women had the same trouble with Nia Jax as part of last night's match when it took five women to eliminate the former NXT superstar.

Trish Stratus, Bayley, Asuka and The Bella Twins all worked together to eliminate potentially the biggest threat of the match, which has now left Nia with an impressive record at the event. Vickie Guerrero was a close second when it took four women to lift her over the top rope before she was quickly eliminated.

#2 Longest women's match in WWE history

The Women's Revolution is definitely taking over

The women of WWE had become accustomed to quick two minute matches back in 2015, but the Women's Revolution has been on their side over the past few years and has meant that last night's match was the longest female wrestling match in WWE history. The match's official time according to WWE.com was 58 minutes and 57 seconds.

The women wrestled for almost an hour in the main event of last night's show which is double what the record was before, since Sasha and Bayley collided in a 30-minute Ironwoman match at NXT Takeover: Respect, before Charlotte and Sasha also did the honours at Roadblock: End of the Line back in 2016. In ordinary matches, it seems that 16 minutes and 52 seconds is the longest women's match to date, which was another match between Charlotte and Sasha Banks.

#1 Longest time in The Royal Rumble match

Sasha entered at number one and made it all the way to the final four

The Women's Royal Rumble match lasted 58 minutes and 57 seconds, just six minutes shy of the male version of the match last night, which lasted one hour and five minutes.

Sasha Banks came into the match at number one and managed to last for 54 minutes and 46 seconds before she was eliminated by The Bella Twins. Sasha was part of the final four and completely dominated the match throughout eliminating Vickie Guerrero, Bayley and Trish Stratus as she seemed to become the backbone of the match throughout. It seems that even though she isn't going to WrestleMania, she still takes home one of the best records of the night.
