Royal Rumble Elimination Statistics

Who did what where? With the 2017 Royal Rumble out of the way, we now have an idea of what might be happening at “Wrestlemania XXXIII”. However, before we get all the way to that show, we do need to take a big better look at the battle royal. One thing people are interested in is who had the most eliminations so here you are.

Braun Strowman: 7
The Undertaker: 4
Sheamus: 3
Cesaro: 3
Brock Lesnar: 3
Goldberg: 3
Roman Reigns: 3
Chris Jericho: 2
Mark Henry: 1
Baron Corbin: 1
Luke Harper: 1
Randy Orton: 1

While there are only twenty nine eliminations to the whole match, some eliminations were done by more than one person (such as New Day being eliminated by the combined forces of Cesaro and Sheamus) so the total here is somewhat different. Strowman’s mark was the most since Roman Reigns set the all time record with twelve eliminations in 2014.

As a bonus, here are the eliminations in order:

1. Jack Gallagher (by Mark Henry)
2. Mojo Rawley (by Braun Strowman)
3. Big Cass (by Braun Strowman)
4. Kalisto (by Braun Strowman)
5. Mark Henry (by Braun Strowman)
6. Big Show (by Braun Strowman)
7. James Ellsworth (by Braun Strowman)
8. Tye Dillinger (by Braun Strowman)
9. Braun Strowman (by Baron Corbin)
10. Kofi Kingston (by Sheamus and Cesaro)
11. Xavier Woods (by Sheamus and Cesaro)
12. Big E (by Sheamus and Cesaro)
13. Sheamus (by Chris Jericho)
14. Cesaro (by Chris Jericho)
15. Apollo Crews (by Luke Harper)
16. Dean Ambrose (by Brock Lesnar)
17. Dolph Ziggler (by Brock Lesnar)
18. Enzo Amore (by Brock Lesnar)
19. Brock Lesnar (by Goldberg)
20. Rusev (by Goldberg)
21. Baron Corbin (by Undertaker)
22. Luke Harper (by Goldberg)
23. Goldberg (by Undertaker)
24. The Miz (by Undertaker)
25. Sami Zayn (by Undertaker)
26. The Undertaker (by Roman Reigns)
27. Chris Jericho (by Roman Reigns)
28. Bray Wyatt (by Roman Reigns)
29. Roman Reigns (by Randy Orton)

I love looking at stuff like this and you can set up all kinds of stats to go over. This might not have been the most entertaining Royal Rumble in history but at least there were some good performances with some surprising names doing better than expected. Orton winning opens a few doors and Strowman looked strong so it’s somewhat hard to complain.
