#1 & #2 Entrants:
Mike Mizanin & "R-Truth" Ron Killings
Awesome Truth exploded! Was wondering if Damien Sandow would be #2...no such luck.
Final Entrant(#30):
Dolph Ziggler
After drawing #1 twice previously, Ziggler was due for some better luck...too bad he didn't last very long.
Winner:
Roman Reigns(#19)
A rare middle-of-the-pack entry for the winner...wonder if they'll get to the point where every number has won the Rumble at some point?
Runner-Up:
Alexander Rusev(#15)
The last part of the Rumble played out oddly with Reigns eliminating Show and Kane, Rock making the save when they attacked him, and THEN Rusev reviving on the floor after he'd practically been forgotten about. It even fooled the timekeeper as I'm pretty sure I heard the bell ring after Show and Kane's eliminations.
Endurance Mark(per Wikipedia):
Bray Wyatt(46:58)
Honorable mention to Rusev(35:17).
Most Eliminations:
6(tie between Wyatt, Rusev, and Reigns)
They made a big deal out of Kane getting the cumulative elimination record with his run near the end of the match. He had been right behind Shawn Michaels, but he passed his mark with his four eliminations(most of which were assisted by The Big Show). Kane holds the record for the most Royal Rumble appearances with 16...make it 18 if you count Dr. Isaac Yankem, D.D.S. and Diesel The Second.
