6 key numbers from the Greatest Royal Rumble Match

76:16 - A new record for longevity in a single Royal Rumble match

Not only did Daniel Bryan break the Rumble ironman record, he shattered it...

One of the most famous and long-standing records in Royal Rumble history is the one for most time spent in a single Rumble match. Rey Mysterio set the record 12 years ago in 2006 when he outlasted 29 other WWE Superstars and spent a total of 62 minutes and 12 seconds en route to winning the match.

At the Greatest Royal Rumble, Daniel Bryan shattered that record with a total time of 76 minutes and 16 seconds spent overall. Bryan was the first entrant in the match, and he amazingly made it to the final three before his WWE Backlash opponent, Big Cass, threw him over the top rope.

What makes this achievement even more impressive is the fact that Bryan's in-ring return after three years off happened just less than a month ago at WrestleMania 34.
