Brock Lesnar won the Royal Rumble in the shortest time

WWE Fun Fact: Brock Lesnar holds the record for winning the Royal Rumble in the shortest amount of time, with around 2 minutes and 30 seconds. Brock Lesnar has headlined five UFC pay-per-view events.

With Randy Orton (entry number 29) and Bad Bunny out of the picture, Brock Lesnar, McIntyre, McMahon, and Riddle were left in the final four. Before engaging in a staredown with McIntyre, the person who defeated Lesnar in the 2020 Royal Rumble, Lesnar defeated Riddle and McMahon.

Lesnar, who won the match and earned a world championship match at WrestleMania 38 by defeating McIntyre by throwing him over the top rope with an F5, became the fourth person to win from the No. 30 position (after The Undertaker in 2007; John Cena in 2008; and Triple H in 2016). With his first victory coming in 2003, Lesnar became the ninth person to win the Royal Rumble twice.

Per tapology, they combined for 5.2 million sales, meaning Lesnar averaged over 1 million PPV sales per main event for the UFC. There isn't a PPV draw even remotely close in the HW division, including Ngannou.

However, The PPV market has been dying well beyond then though. Illegal streaming is night and day since Brock has had most of those fights. You'll see UFC's numbers are WAY down, even though infinitely more people watch the sport now compared to 2008.
