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

#4. Edge - First two-time Royal Rumble winner to lose both WrestleMania matches

The Rated-R Superstar won his first Royal Rumble match in 2010 after his surprise return from an injury that had him sidelined for six months. He entered the contest in the 29th position.

Edge lasted seven minutes and 37 seconds, eliminating John Cena to win the match.

At that year’s WrestleMania, Edge used his Rumble win to challenge Chris Jericho for his World Heavyweight Championship. Jericho defeated him to retain the title that night.

Precisely 11 years after his first Rumble victory, Edge would win the 2021 Rumble after entering from the number one position. He would become the third man ever to do so and the only Hall of Famer to win a Royal Rumble after their induction.

The Rated-R Superstar then challenged Universal Champion Roman Reigns to a WrestleMania showdown, but it ultimately became a triple threat as Daniel Bryan was added to it.

Reigns would defeat both Edge and Daniel Bryan to retain his championship. As a result, Edge became the first two-time Rumble winner to lose on both occasions at WrestleMania.

#3. Rey Mysterio - Longest time spent in a single Royal Rumble match

WWE’s biggest little man entered the 2006 Royal Rumble second, with Triple H joining the match first. Both men would last for a large majority of the contest, making it to the final three, including Randy Orton. To do so, Rey and The Game eliminated six men.

Former Evolution teammates Triple H and Randy Orton teamed up in an attempt to remove Mysterio from the match. Rey would remain, however, despite their attempts to eliminate him.

Mysterio hit the 619 on both men and eliminated The Game, who angrily retaliated by attacking him. Orton tried to capitalize on this development, but Rey countered and eliminated him to win the Rumble.

Lasting from the second position to winning the match, Rey would do so in one hour, two minutes, and 12 seconds, setting a record for the longest time spent in a single Rumble.
