Greatest Royal Rumble

King Abdullah Sports City Stadium, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

Men’s Greatest Royal Rumble

Not counted in all-time records. This was a one-off 50-entrant match, not an annual Royal Rumble, and this site segregates it as reference sources do — a field two thirds larger makes a long run and a big haul easier to come by. It is here in full, and every statistic on this page is real; it simply does not feed the records.

Measured against its own field

A bigger field offers more people to throw out and a longer match offers more time to survive it, so the figures below are shares of what this match made available. Both published numbers are shown, and nothing is rescaled.

Most of the field cleared: 27% Braun Strowman — 13 of the 49 others. 12 performances have cleared a higher share, out of 708.
Most of the match survived: 98% Daniel Bryan — 1:16:05 of 1:17:20. 11 appearances have lasted a greater share, out of 1489.

The last five draws are 46 to 50 in this match, and are marked in the chart above. They enter against a field that is already thinning, which is the long-standing argument that a late number is an advantage.

Bar positions are derived, not recorded. No source publishes entry and elimination timestamps; they are solved from entry order, the published times in match and the recorded elimination order. The ring-population curve below reads the same solved times. The times in the table below are as published.
