7 key numbers from the women's 2018 Royal Rumble Match
Over the past year, a lot of history has been made in the women's division of the WWE. From Hell In A Cell to Money In The Bank, there were a lot of firsts for these women, and another one happened this past Sunday when there was the first-ever all-women's Royal Rumble Match.
The Women's Revolution doesn't stop there as Stephanie McMahon announced this week on Monday Night Raw that the first-ever women's Elimination Chamber Match will take place at the WWE's next pay per view on February 25th.
When it comes to the first-ever women's Royal Rumble Match, you can say without a doubt that it was a complete success. The match was executed extremely well and was full of great surprises.
As always when you talk about the Royal Rumble Match, it's all about the numbers. This article is going to look at seven key numbers from this historic Royal Rumble from the number of WWE Hall Of Famers who participated to which woman became the first Ironman of the match.
Lets first take a look at a number not to be celebrated, the shortest time spent in the match...
57 - the least amount of time (in seconds) spent in the Royal Rumble Match
One of the great surprise returns of the women's Royal Rumble Match was that of Vickie Guerrero. She is the widow of the late great Eddie Guerrero, and she's best known for her role as General Manager on Raw from 2008 to 2011 and SmackDown from 2011 to 2013. She also managed some of pro wrestling's best including Edge and Dolph Ziggler.
Considering that Vickie is not a professional wrestler, she wasn't expected to do much in the match, but she does get the honor of the shortest time in the Rumble at 57 seconds. It's probably not a record that will stand for that long, but with the contributions that Vickie made to the WWE, it was great to see her included in this match.
