Welcome to the second ever Royal Rumble Stat Pack. This blog covers all of the stats, facts and figures from all of the Royal Rumble PPV’s prior to 2024. With Royal Rumble 2024 only a few days away, get in the mood for it by taking 5 minutes out to learn a thing or two about a PPV considered one of the big four that has been a yearly tradition since 1988. It’s worth noting that I have not included The Greatest Royal Rumble Ever event in this Stat Pack.
