The Royal Rumble transcends wrestling. One of WWE’s showpiece events has arrived at its 36th edition and the Rumble is just as popular as ever.
Two 30-person Rumble matches will go ahead this weekend with contenders entering the ring one by one in a men’s match and women’s match.
The aim of the game is simple: remain in the ring. The last man or woman standing after all other superstars have entered and exited the ring will be crowned champion – a hallowed title in a hallowed event.
Cody Rhodes is being lined up for a big run at the crown, while Seth Rollins and Sami Zayn are also among the favourites to go all the way in the men’s match. Rhea Ripley is the overwhelming favourite in the women’s match but Becky Lynch will have a thing or two to say about that.
Reports suggest fans could be treated to an appearance from The Rock, who could return to action in the ring, while Stone Cold Steve Austin is also tipped for a return. Could there be an epic throwback showdown on the cards?
