WWE’s Super ShowDown took place on June 7 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and featured the largest Battle Royal in WWE history. It was advertised as a 50-man affair, but it turns out that 51 different superstars actually competed in this match.

The bell to end the match rang about one second after Elias’ feet hit the floor, so I included that additional second as part of Mansoor’s survival time.
EC3 was eliminated first but the moment his feet touched the floor was not shown, so his survival time is somewhere between 14 and 16 seconds.
There was a rush of tag team stars eliminated between 11m 05s and 12m 02s, including Otis, Woods, Rowan, the Usos, the Revival, and Matt Hardy.
Five different superstars received individual entrances before the match began. This includes Miz, Samoa Joe, Cesaro, Titus O’Neil, and Elias. Titus is the only one of these men who did not survive into the final three minutes of the match.
By my count this match included nine members of the 205 Live roster, and all nine members were eliminated in 2m 33s or less. This includes Samir Singh, Sunil Singh, Humberto Carrillo, Mike Kanellis, Oney Lorcan, Akira Tozawa, Brian Kendrick, Drew Gulak, and Tony Nese. At least the champ lasted longer than anybody else.
18 total superstars were eliminated in that time, including those nine performers.
What do you think about this, Cagesiders? Did the 205 Live roster get a raw deal at Super ShowDown, or is this exactly how the Battle Royal should have played out?
