WWE Royal Rumble for dummies: 5 simple rules to decode the event

#4 The winner gets a title shot

Wrestlemania! Here I come

The primary reason Superstars go through this gruelling setup is because of what is on offer, a WWE universal title/ WWE World Heavyweight Championship title opportunity. To make the offer more mouth watering, one gets a title shot at Wrestlemania in what could well be the main event as well.

So, instead of going through the chain of hierarchy in your weekly shows and defeating Superstar after Superstar to land a title shot, the Rumble offers you a one-way ticket to go straight at it.

Irrespective of your status in the WWE, all Superstars are equal before the eyes of the Rumble and hence it is an ideal opportunity even for a Cruiserweight or a mid carder to go grab the limelight at Wrestlemania.
