Notes

• Ric Flair broke the record for longest lasting participant in a Royal Rumble match, lasting 59:26, beating the previous record, held by Rick Martel.
• This was the first and only time the WWF/E Championship (or any other championship) was contested in the Royal Rumble match. The championship was vacated in December 1991 after the controversial finish to the Hulk Hogan vs. The Undertaker match at the This Tuesday in Texas PPV event.
• According to the storyline resulting from the title controversy at This Tuesday in Texas, The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan were given "preferential treatment" for the Royal Rumble, as they both got to choose from the numbers 20 through 30 only.
• Nikolai Volkoff and Haku replaced Marty Jannetty and Brian Knobbs.
