7 key numbers from the men's 2018 Royal Rumble Match

65:27 - the total length of the men's 2018 Royal Rumble Match

This was some of the final moments of one of the longest Royal Rumble Matches in some time

From when Rusev entered the Royal Rumble Match at #1 to Shinsuke Nakamura tossing Roman Reigns over the top rope to win the match, it took 65 minutes and 27 seconds. Not counting the 2011 Royal Rumble Match that had 40 competitors, this was the longest Rumble match since 2002 when Triple H threw out Kurt Angle to win.

Having a longer Royal Rumble Match may have been the catalyst to its success. There was time to tell some great stories without having to rush through the 30 competitors, and of those 30 WWE Superstars, 11 of them lasted at least 13 minutes or longer.
