The WWE Royal Rumble is an annual professional wrestling event that has been a cornerstone of WWE's programming since its inception in 1988. Traditionally held in late January, the event features the Royal Rumble match, a unique over-the-top-rope battle royal where participants enter at timed intervals, aiming to eliminate opponents by tossing them over the top rope until only one remains. The winner of this match typically earns a world championship opportunity at that year's WrestleMania.
