#1 Longest time spent in a Royal Rumble Match (76:05 - Daniel Bryan)

Linked with the largest Royal Rumble Match in WWE history, Daniel Bryan's performance in Saudi Arabia was miraculous. He entered the Greatest Royal Rumble Match at number 1 and stayed all the way until the final three. Bryan set a new record in the process as well.

Again, this could be reasoned with the fact that there were 50 participants in the match. However, that only makes the task of staying the course even tougher. Bryan lasted over 76 minutes and eliminated three Superstars, before getting sent out of the ring by Big Cass, with his chest looking like raw meat.

Those battle-scars are a testament to the heart and guts that Daniel Bryan possesses, who had only returned to in-ring action less than three weeks before his Royal Rumble masterclass. Hopefully, he can immortalize his Rumble legacy with a victory in this year's 30-man match.

The longest time spent in a standard Royal Rumble belongs to Rey Mysterio, who lasted the entire 62 minutes in his stunning victory in 2006. Several Superstars - like Chris Jericho and Triple H - have also crossed an hour spent in a single Royal Rumble Match.

However, nobody comes close to Daniel Bryan's 76:05 at the Greatest Royal Rumble.
