5 Current WWE Stars who hold records in the Men’s Royal Rumble match

#2. Roman Reigns - Most times being a Royal Rumble runner-up

Roman Reigns has been involved in a handful of Royal Rumble matches with six appearances. However, The Big Dog has only won the multi-man contest once after entering in the 19th position in 2015.

Reigns made his Rumble match debut in the 2014 and had an incredible performance. He broke Kane’s 2001 elimination record by eliminating 12 men that night. He entered at 15th and was in the bout for 33 minutes and 51 seconds, ultimately losing to the eventual winner, Batista.

The Tribal Chief also came second in the 2017, 2018, and 2020 Rumbles. He, therefore, set the record for the superstar to finish second in the most Rumble contests, doing so on four occasions.

#1. Vince McMahon - Oldest Royal Rumble winner

“Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Vince McMahon entered the 1999 Royal Rumble at first and second positions, respectively. Although the latter spent most of the match running away from Austin, both men managed to outlast 28 other participants and make it to the final two.

Mr. McMahon wanted to ensure that The Texas Rattlesnake did not win the Rumble for the third year in a row, so he “randomly” drew the number one spot for the popular star. He also offered $100,000 to anyone who would eliminate Austin from the contest.

Toward the end, The Rock interrupted the match, allowing Mr. McMahon to eliminate the distracted Austin.

Thus, Vince McMahon became the oldest participant to date — at the age of 53 — to have emerged victoriously from the Royal Rumble. He remains the only person to have won the multi-person battle at over 50 years old. McMahon also boasts one of the most extended times spent in a Rumble match, with 56 minutes and 38 seconds.
