The Royal Rumble, a cornerstone in professional wrestling, captivates fans annually with its unique timed-entry battle royal format.

Since its 1988 inception, the event has grown into one of WWE's "Big Five" marquee spectacles, streaming globally on platforms like Peacock since 2022. Standing alongside WrestleMania and others, the Royal Rumble match is its centerpiece, traditionally a pulsating clash for the men's world championship, with exceptions like the historic women's Royal Rumble headlining in 2018.

This groundbreaking move has since become a staple, showcasing equality and limitless excitement on a global stage.
