5 records that could be broken in the 2018 Men's Royal Rumble
The 2018 Royal Rumble promises to be one of the most exciting pay-per-views that WWE has produced in a very long time.
Not only will there be a first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble, but the winner of the Men’s Royal Rumble is less predictable than it has been in recent years and nobody knows who will walk out of Philadelphia as the two Rumble victors.
As ever with the Rumble, fans don’t just remember the winners of the event – they also remember the records that get set along the way.
In this article, from the least likely to the most likely, we take a look at five records that could potentially be broken in 2018.
#5 Most number of eliminations
Kane’s long-standing record of 11 eliminations in a single Royal Rumble match was broken in 2014 when Roman Reigns threw 12 men over the top rope on his debut appearance in a Rumble.
We had to wait 13 years for somebody to surpass Kane’s tally, but will we have to wait that long again for somebody to break Reigns’ record?
Braun Strowman is the obvious contender to get close to it but he will be preoccupied with the Universal Championship match against Brock Lesnar and Kane at this year's event. While his inclusion isn't impossible, Braun isn’t expected to be involved in the 2018 Rumble match itself.
This is the least likely record to be broken in our list, which is why it’s at #5, but you can never put it past WWE to spring a surprise in a Rumble match!
