5 top Royal Rumble performers

#1 Kane - 44 eliminations

Kane eliminating a Royal Rumble contestant

'The Big Red Machine' has the most number of Royal Rumble eliminations. This may be due to his longevity in the WWE (22 years and 19 Rumble appearances) and also the fact that he is 7ft tall and weighs 320lb. Kane's first appearance in a Rumble was as Issac Yankem DDS, the personal dentist of Jerry Lawler. He was able to eliminate only one contestant that year, which was the Samoan Fatu who would later come back as Rikishi. Fast forward to 2001 and Kane eliminated 11 other superstars, his best performance in a Royal Rumble match so far. The surprising part about Kane is that eventhough he seems to be quite the unstoppable monster in the Rumble, he has never won it.
