Other interesting facts:
Miz, Ziggler, and Santino scored their first ever eliminations tonight.
Kharma is the third woman to enter the rumble, and the fourth time one has done so. Despite being the heaviest of the three, she also scored the least impressive elimination.
For the first time since 2004, the winner wasn’t predictable.
The first Rumble match to contain more washed up guest stars than a Tarrantino movie.
