5 WWE Royal Rumble records that are yet to be broken

#2 Roman Reigns - 12 eliminations in a single Royal Rumble

Reigns is the current Intercontinental Champion

Roman Reigns holds the record for most eliminations in a single Royal Rumble match, eliminating 12 men in the 2014 Royal Rumble match. The match was eventually won by Batista, but it is the performance put by Reigns which caught the eye.

He broke a record that was held by Kane for 13 years which stood at 11 eliminations until Reigns broke it in 2014. Reigns lasted 33 minutes and 51 seconds in the 2014 match before being eliminated by Batista.

That same year, Roman Reigns was heavily pushed as a singles wrestler and was inserted into world title contention in June. He later headlined multiple pay-per-view events, and since then, "The Big Dog" has headlined three Wrestlemanias in a row.

He has been groomed to take over from John Cena as the face of the WWE despite the critics' disapproval. One thing is for sure, his record number of eliminations in the Royal Rumble is going to be difficult to beat.
