#1 Kane has entered a record 18 Royal Rumble matches
WWE has consistently referred to Kane as a Royal Rumble legend – his 11 eliminations at the 2001 Rumble stood as the record for most eliminations till Roman Reigns came around to shatter that record in 2014.
The fans would also remember that Kane is the man with the most eliminations in Rumble history – with 43.
But what people might not realise is that Kane has entered the most Royal Rumble matches and so it is not surprising that he has the record for overall eliminations. Believe it or not, Kane has been in 18 Royal Rumble matches, the first being in 1996 as Issac Yankem.
He has also had a Rumble appearance as the fake Diesel. It is a shame that the WWE never saw him worthwhile to win the entire thing even once.
