5 records from the Men's Royal Rumble match

#3. The longest time in a single Royal Rumble match

Finn Balor gained a record in his first Rumble match

Finn Balor became only the second man to be added to the longest lasting list last night in his debut Royal Rumble match last night. Finn was without a doubt the Ironman of the show and lasted 57 minutes and thirty seconds which takes him into the overall list at number eight.

Ric Flair was the only other man who was able to join the list on his debut after he lasted 1:00:02 at the 1992 Royal Rumble, where he also won the World Heavyweight Championship. 57 minutes in a Rumble is an incredible time, especially on his debut, so it seems that even though Finn wasn't able to win the match he was still able to take home a record.
