Brock Lesnar is the overall winner of the Royal Rumble 2022 for men. 19 years after his first victory (in 2003), the wrestler who lost his WWE belt earlier in the evening against Bobby Lashley won his second Royal Rumble. In addition to entering the closed circle of Superstars having won it at least twice, Brock Lesnar has set a new record.
Indeed, Brock Lesnar arrived at the 30th position to win the Royal Rumble Match. It took him about 2 minutes and 30 seconds before he eliminated the last participants and pointed his fingers at the WrestleMania 38 logo. So that makes him the winner of the Royal Rumble to have stayed the shortest time during the match. The one who held this record before last Saturday was Edge in 2010.
12 years ago, the Rated-R Superstar remained about 7 minutes and 37 seconds during the match by making his winning comeback in 29th position.
