The Big Show was in the final two of the Royal Rumble match twice – in 2000 and 2004. In 2000 he was eliminated by The Rock and in 2004 by Chris Benoit.
20: Shortest time with an elimination

The record for shortest time in the Rumble match including an elimination mind-blowingly stands at 7 seconds and belongs to none other than former WWE US Champion Montel Vontavious Porter – better knows as MVP.
The record came at the 2010 Rumble where MVP only managed to last 7 seconds but he still managed to eliminate The Miz during his time in the Rumble match.
