AJ Lee opened the women’s Royal Rumble and made two eliminations before Rhea Ripley eliminated her. Drew McIntyre opened the men’s match, made one elimination, and was eliminated by Bobby Lashley.
The entry number is the same, but the two performances should be read in their own fields. Starting first tells us where the task began; it does not supply an exact duration. The published elimination records give a firmer comparison than guessing how many minutes either entrant spent in the ring.
