By Scott Rogust
The 2022 Royal Rumble will take place on Saturday, Jan. 29 and will serve as the official start to WrestleMania season.
It is the most exciting time of the calendar year in professional wrestling — it is WrestleMania season. The official start begins at the annual Royal Rumble, which will be the 35th edition of the event.
Of course, the event will be headlined by the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches, which will feature 30 wrestlers vying to earn a championship match at WrestleMania 38, live from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tx. The only way to win the battle royal is to throw your opponents over the top rope and be the last person standing.
Besides that, there will be some huge championship matches that will take place at the event, including Roman Reigns facing Seth Rollins for the Universal Championship and Brock Lesnar defending his WWE Championship against Bobby Lashley.
