About this Event

To the victor go the spoils.



Thirty Superstars will enter the Royal Rumble Match on Sunday, Jan. 24, to fight for the opportunity of a lifetime: a guaranteed WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match in the main event of WrestleMania.



Perhaps the single most anticipated bout of the year, the Royal Rumble Match is utterly unique for its scale, rules and major stakes. Prior to the match, all 30 competitors draw their entry number randomly. The Superstars who draw Nos. 1 and 2 begin the bout, and a new Superstar joins the fray every 90 seconds until all 30 Superstars have entered the ring. The only way to be eliminated is to be thrown over the top rope and to the outside, with both feet touching the floor.



The last man standing will not only be the 2016 Royal Rumble Match winner, but also the No. 1 Contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania. The following Superstars have declared they will enter the Royal Rumble Match so far:



- Big Show

- Curtis Axel
