#3 Most eliminations in a Royal Rumble Match (13 - Braun Strowman and Brock Lesnar)

Following Kane's legendary performance at Royal Rumble 2001, The Big Red Machine held the record for the most eliminations in a single match for a long time. However, recent years have seen the record broken multiple times. 11 became 12 courtesy of Roman Reigns in 2014, before Braun Strowman came around four years later.

The Monster Among Men eliminated 13 men from the Greatest Royal Rumble Match, although he did have an advantage of 20 extra available Superstars over Reigns. That being said, Brock Lesnar matched that feat in the 2020 Royal Rumble Match. He went on an incredibly dominant run during the first half of the match.

The Beast encountered a host of faces from his past, eliminating them all. Lesnar took out former rivals, Kofi Kingston and Rey Mysterio, as well as his former training partner, Shelton Benjamin. Rather impressively, he equalled Strowman's record by eliminating the Monster and Keith Lee at the same time.

Considering how unprecedented and unique Brock Lesnar's period of dominance in last year's Royal Rumble Match was, it is extremely unlikely that his record will ever be broken. It will take a superhuman effort from a gargantuan Superstar for Lesnar and Strowman's record of 13 eliminations to be topped.
