You can check out the complete statistics below:
* Jey Uso had the most time in the 2024 men’s Rumble with 50:55. This is the 19th longest time in Rumble match history.
* Cody Rhodes, who won the 2024 men’s Royal Rumble and tied Bron Breakker for most eliminations (4), was in the match for 43:21. This gives him the fourth-most cumulative time spent in Rumble matches with 4:05:14, behind Chris Jericho (4:59.33), Randy Orton (4:34:08) and Rey Mysterio (4:14:45). CM Punk, who went 21:45, is now 10th all-time at 3:09:56.
* JD McDonagh had the shortest time at three seconds. He set the fifth shortest time spent in a Rumble, behind Santino Marella, Warlord, Sheamus, and No Way Jose.
