#6. Je’von Evans earned 2026 Iron Man status

Je’von Evans appears to have gained a lot of momentum since he joined RAW earlier this year. He entered the 30-man over-the-rope classic at number 8.

Although he didn’t score an elimination, the former NXT star proved his worth by lasting 40 minutes and 58 seconds before finally being eliminated by Randy Orton. Thereby, earning himself the status of this year’s Iron Man.

#5. Roman Reigns moves to second all-time in Men’s Royal Rumble eliminations

With his victory in the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns recorded his second Rumble win, this one coming 11 years after his first triumph in 2015.

Not just that, Reigns now has the second-most all-time eliminations in the Men’s Royal Rumble history with 41. Only Kane has more eliminations, with 46.

#4. Roman Reigns and Oba Femi tie with the most eliminations in the Men’s Rumble Match

Oba Femi was the first entrant in the Men’s Rumble match, scoring five eliminations. He tossed out Bron Breakker, Rusev, Solo Sikoa, Rey Mysterio, and Matt Cardona.

On the other hand, Roman Reigns, who joined at number 26, also scored five eliminations. His victims were The Miz, Jacob Fatu, Jey Uso, Logan Paul, and, lastly, Gunther.

#3. Charlotte Flair earns 2026 Iron Woman status

The 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble kicked off with a massive surprise as Charlotte Flair drew the unlucky number one, only to be joined seconds later by her own tag team partner, Alexa Bliss. Rather than trading blows, The Queen and The Goddess played it smart and waited for number three, Kiana James.

The duo worked together until the ring filled up and chaos took over. In a frantic attempt to eliminate the powerhouse Nia Jax, Charlotte’s momentum accidentally sent Bliss to the floor too.

Despite the heartbreak of being responsible for her partner’s elimination, Charlotte put on a legendary performance, fighting for nearly an hour. Her marathon run finally ended at 59 minutes and 49 seconds when she was ousted by Lash Legend.

#2. Lash Legend records the most eliminations in the Women’s Rumble Match

Lash Legend didn’t just show up for the Rumble; she completely took it over. Entering at the halfway mark, she turned the ring into a highlight reel, racking up more eliminations than anyone else in the field.

She wasn’t just picking off easy targets. Instead, Lash showcased scary levels of power by tossing out heavy hitters like Jordynne Grace, icons like the Bella Twins (Nikki and Brie), and the high-flying IYO SKY. Her biggest scalp of the night was undoubtedly Charlotte Flair.

It ultimately took the sheer force of Rhea Ripley to stop Legend’s warpath and send her over the top rope after 5 eliminations.

#1. Liv Morgan is the first superstar to win the Women’s Rumble Match from the number 14 position

Liv Morgan didn’t just join the ranks of Royal Rumble winners; she also made a little history by winning the match from the number 14 position, a feat no one had achieved before her.

The Miracle Kid has been riding on red-hot momentum since her return from injury late last year. By winning the Rumble, she is now set to face any champion of her choice at The Show of Shows.
