For the first time since 2020, WWE Royal Rumble will take place inside an arena with fans.
On January 29 inside The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, WWE’s main event takes center stage.
The annual event is traditionally one of WWE’s biggest and most anticipated shows of the year, with a men’s and women’s Royal Rumble featuring 30 participants in each match and the last person standing winning a championship at WrestleMania 38 in April. This year, there will be some guest appearances in the form of Johnny Knoxville and Impact Wrestling Knockouts World Champion Mickie James.
Outside of the Royal Rumble, grudge and title matches will take place. Edge and Beth Phoenix take on The Miz and Maryse in a mixed tag team match to kick off. Roman Reigns defends the WWE Universal Championship against Seth Rollins, while Becky Lynch defends the WWE RAW Women’s Title against Doudrop. Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley finally square off for the exes’ WWE Championship.
There may still be matches added to the card. Keep checking back here on Sporting News for the updated card and coverage of the Royal Rumble.
