Predicting the 2018 Women's Royal Rumble record-setters
Everybody knows that Kane holds the record for the most number of eliminations (44) in cumulative Royal Rumble matches, and everybody knows that Steve Austin has won the match more times (3) than anybody else in history.
Well, assuming the women’s Royal Rumble will now be an annual match just like the men’s, it’s time for the female Superstars to start writing their names into the history books like Kane and Austin have over the years.
In this article, we take a look at five notable men’s Rumble records from the event’s 30-year history and predict who will set those records in the women’s match on 28 January.
#5 Longest time spent in the match
Looking back at the men’s records over the last 30 years, only six people have lasted longer than one hour in a single Royal Rumble, and three of those (Rey Mysterio, Chris Benoit and Ric Flair) went on to win.
Will WWE want Sunday’s winner to be an early entrant? Or, like Chris Jericho (aka “The Sixty-One Minute Man”) last year, will they want somebody to last almost the entire Rumble, only to get thrown out near the end?
Either way, somebody has to set the record, and we’re going to stick our necks on the line and predict that Becky Lynch will be an early underdog entrant who gets eliminated shortly before the finish.
Longest time spent in the match: Becky Lynch
