The Royal Rumble logo.

The Royal Rumble is an annual professional wrestling pay-per-view event, produced every October by Wrestling Society X (WSX). The event's main feature is a Battle Royal-type match, entitled the Royal Rumble. The pay-per-view is part of WSX's "Big Four", along with WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series. The Royal Rumble is also one of WSX's more popular pay-per-views. The winner of the Rumble match has received a world title match at that year's Survivor Series.

History

Match

Before the match begins, the contestants draw spots in the Rumble. The match consists of thirty men, beginning with the two men who chose entry numbers one and two in the ring. At regular timed intervals, usually ninety seconds, one of the remaining 28 wrestlers enters the ring. Participants must eliminate all other opponents, and the winner of the event is the last wrestler remaining after all others have been eliminated.

A wrestler is eliminated when leaving the ring over the top rope, with both feet touching the floor. A referee, who is situated at ringside, must witness an elimination in order for it to be valid. A wrestler who is eliminated without a referee noticing may sometimes sneak back into the match. A wrestler who exits the ring without going over the top rope is not eliminated from the contest. It is also possible for a participant to be eliminated by acts of an external force (such as a previously eliminated participant) so long as the interference results in the legal elimination of the participant.

The winner of the Rumble has a choice of competing in a match for any of WSX's three world titles: the WSX Championship, Underground Championship, or the FCW Championship.

To pick the competitors for the match, 20 wrestlers from all three brands compete in singles matches against each other.
