The road to WrestleMania 40 has officially begun. Florida will be the first of many stops as WWE presents the Royal Rumble on January 27. In Tropicana Field, the traditional event airs on Peacock in the U.S. and the WWE Network elsewhere.
The rules of the Royal Rumble match are straightforward: 30 wrestlers are assigned a spot in the match at random. The first two participants kick things off, and thereafter at one-minute or 90-second intervals, another wrestler comes out.
That process continues until all the competitors have entered the match. To be eliminated, a wrestler must be tossed over the top rope, and both feet must touch the floor.
The only way to win is by being the last person in the ring.
On the men’s side, CM Punk enters his first Royal Rumble since 2014. He’s joined by 2023 winner Cody Rhodes, Gunther, Damian Priest and Bobby Lashley.
The women’s Rumble will see former winners Becky Lynch and Bianca Belair involved. Joining them will be Bayley and Nia Jax.
Who will win this year’s Rumble and put themselves in the history books? Will there be any surprise appearances? We’ll keep you updated below.
