What are the rules for the WWE Royal Rumble and how does a competitor win the match?

When it comes to the WWE, there isn’t a match that offers quite the reward that the Royal Rumble does. While the match isn’t for a world championship, although it has in the past, it offers the opportunity to compete in the main event of WrestleMania.

Wrestlers dream of competing in the main event of the big event their entire careers. On Sunday, the Royal Rumble will take place and a winner will get to main event WrestleMania 33.

The concept of the Royal Rumble is a simple one. 30 wrestlers will enter the ring, with two starting the match. Every 90 seconds a new competitor will enter until the 30th superstar has hit the ring. A competitor is eliminated when he goes over the top rope and both feet hit the ground.

Once 29 wrestlers are eliminated and one stands tall, then there is a winner of the Royal Rumble. This year’s match is one of the biggest yet. The star power of this Royal Rumble rivals any in history and features the likes of The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar and Goldberg.

With the road to WrestleMania beginning here, the groundwork will be laid for the big event starting with this match. Kevin Owens and A.J. Styles are the current champions of their respective brands but they could easily lose their titles before the rumble even begins.

It’s hard to say who’s going to win the event with so many favorites in the match, but one thing is clear, the winner of the match will have earned it. All the surprise entrants, legends and rising superstars should create for a classic event that leaves everyone talking. Who will put their name in the history books and win?
