The 2018 Men's Royal Rumble match was somewhat overshadowed as the women of WWE made history at the 31st annual event, but it seems that even the men will be able to say that they broke a few records in 2018.

It was the first time that the men had gone on third instead of being the last or the penultimate match of the event, but it seems that they made it work and there were a number of surprise entries that even the dirtsheet reporters failed to pick up on.

Nakamura may have been the man who now gets to main event WrestleMania because of his win, but it seems that history was made as part of the match a number of times last night.
