The 1 hour and 5 minutes spent in tonight's
#GauntletMatch
by
@WWERollins
is the longest amount of time any Superstar has spent in match in
#RAW
's 25+ year history.
When this match starts,
@BraunStrowman
will become the first Superstar in history to challenge for both the
#USTitle
and a
@WWE
#TagTitle
on the same edition of
#RAW
.
It never happened on WCW Nitro either, making him the first person to do it on Monday Night... ever!
At the age of 78, Hall of Famer Pat Patterson is now the oldest person in
@WWE
history to hold a championship; the 24/7 Championship, which he won tonight on
#RawReunion
.
R-Truth (
@RonKillings
) is now a... wait for it...
FORTY-time
@WWE
24/7 Champion.
His 45 title reigns are the most in
#WWE
history for any Superstar.
#WWEClash
In 2009,
@reymysterio
won the Intercontinental Championship twice in the same year; his first two reigns with that title.
In 2019, 10 years later, Mysterio has now won the
#USTitle
twice in the same year; his first two reigns with this title.
#RAW

@MATTHARDYBRAND
's first match on
#RAW
in 2019.

@WWE
Raw was in May of 1994, meaning his presence on the red brand has spanned 25 and a half years.
The first time
@reymysterio
and
@AJStylesOrg
competed at the same event was when they both had matches on the same episode of WCW Thunder in February of 2001.
Nearly two decades later, they get their first televised 1-on-1 match on
@WWE
#RAW
, with the US Title on the line.
History made on
#RAW
:
With her entry in tonight's
#GauntletMatch
,
@MickieJames

@trishstratuscom
.

@RonKillings
) is now a...
- 45-time
@WWE
24/7 Champion
- 1-time Tag Team Champion
- 2-time Hardcore Champion
- 2-time United States Champion
... making him the FIRST 50-TIME titleholder in
