WWE Royal Rumble: Top 5 Superstars with the most eliminations in a single match

These Superstars have delivered unforgettable Royal Rumble performances in the past

#2 Braun Strowman (13) – WWE Greatest Royal Rumble 2020

Braun Strowman is the only Superstar who ended up winning the match after most eliminations

This is the only entry in this list which is not from a traditional Royal Rumble pay-per-view. Instead, it dates back to April 2018, when WWE Superstars travelled to Saudi Arabia for the Greatest Royal Rumble. The show's main event featured 50 Superstars competing in the Royal Rumble, and Braun Strowman emerged with thirteen eliminations to his name.

Strowman made history in WWE by recording the highest number of eliminations in a single Royal Rumble Match. (Brock Lesnar tied that figure two years later.) The only reason why Strowman is second on the list is that his victory didn't come in the prestigious Royal Rumble match itself.

Nonetheless, this performance was a huge achievement for Strowman. He ended up winning the entire match by eliminating Big Cass. At the time, Strowman was one of the most impressive stars on the roster. Many fans hope that Strowman will have another impressive run sooner rather than later. In fact, some fans expect him to return at the Royal Rumble this year, where he could dominate again.
