The road to WrestleMania starts now but what do you need to know before the over-the-top-rope extravaganza? talkSPORT.com has you covered…
WWE Royal Rumble rules
30 superstars will compete in each of the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches which usually both open and main-event the PPV.
The winner of each match will get a world title shot at ‘The Showcase Of The Immortals’ while there will be a host of exciting matches on the bill too.
The Royal Rumble is always a special occasion with surprise returns and crossovers and ‘Jackass’ star Johnny Knoxville will be involved this year.
Edge and Bianca Belair claimed glory in the classic battle royal in 2021 with the latter bidding to become the first two-time women’s winner.
The rules of the Rumble are:
- Two superstars will kick-start the Rumble in the ring with a new competitor entering the match every 90 seconds
- A wrestler can only be eliminated by going over the top rope with BOTH feet touching the floor outside
- The winner of each Royal Rumble gets to choose the champion of their choice to face at WrestleMania
