The Royal Rumble marks the kick-off to WrestleMania season in WWE and is one of the most exciting times of the year.
Every year, fans wait to see which superstars will brave 29 other men or women to emerge as the winner of the Royal Rumble match. The Royal Rumble premium live event will emanate from the Alamodome in San Antonio, TX, on January 28. During the Rumble, two superstars enter the ring, and every 90 seconds, a new star joins the fray. A wrestler is eliminated when they are tossed over the top rope with both feet touching the floor until there is only one left standing.
This year, the stakes are higher than ever heading into the Royal Rumble as the winners of the event will can main event WrestleMania 39 at the SoFi Stadium in the heart of Los Angeles.
