Royal Rumble 2024 is WWE's next premium live event, set to broadcast on Saturday, January 27, 2024, at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. The event already seems set to be memorable, especially after the recent announcement of Roman Reigns' Fatal Four Way match for this show.

For those unaware, The Tribal Chief is scheduled to defend his Undisputed Universal title against LA Knight, Randy Orton, and AJ Styles. This match resulted after the actions of The Bloodline in the main event of SmackDown: New Year's Revolution.

However, besides this, Royal Rumble this year will also feature its traditional battle royals, with both the men and women competing in their respective over-the-top rope matches, with the winner earning a title shot for WrestleMania 40.

As of writing, WWE has also announced big names for this match, which surely generates a significant buzz for the event. Talking about the Men's Royal Rumble match, this year, the traditional match will feature the winner of last year's Rumble match, Cody Rhodes. The American Nightmare will make another attempt to finish his story.

On the other hand, almost a decade later, CM Punk is set to participate in the Men's traditional match after his sensational comeback at Survivor Series 2023.
