Chris Jericho Just Broke a Major Royal Rumble Record

That’s another one broken down. Chris Jericho has been around the WWE for a very long time and one of his most famous accomplishments has been the record for the most Intercontinental Title reigns. However, as of not that long into the 2017 Royal Rumble, Jericho now holds another record of a very different kind.

As of about ten minutes into this year’s Royal Rumble, Jericho set the record for the most amount of time ever spent in the battle royal. Coming into this year, the record was held by Triple H at 4:06:08 over nine Royal Rumbles. As of the end of the 2017 Royal Rumble, Jericho has spent 4:54:17 over nine Royal Rumbles of his own. This was the second year in a row that Jericho lasted over fifty minutes in the Royal Rumble.

I know a lot of it involves laying around on the apron or in the corner, but to survive nearly five hours in the Royal Rumble is remarkable. The fact that he broke Triple H’s mark by nearly twenty five percent over the same number of appearances makes this even more impressive. Jericho didn’t just break this record but rather shattered it. There’s even a chance he could keep adding to it as he just keeps coming back again and again.
