The Royal Rumble is usually based on the classic Battle Royal match, in which some wrestlers (traditionally 30) aim at diminishing their competitors by tossing them over the top rope, with both feet touching the floor. The winner of the event is the last wrestler remaining after all others have been eliminated. According to Hornswoggle, who worked for WWE from 2006 until 2016 and participated in two Rumbles, participants may learn their eliminations by knowing the two wrestlers who are eliminated before them and which wrestlers are entering the Royal Rumble before and after their elimination.

The Royal Rumble game is for both men and women, and it is played for both. Royal Rumble game is a very popular game.

The WWE Royal Rumble 2019 will take place on January 27 in Phoenix, Arizona, and judging by last year’s Rumble Pay Per View, and it is as must-see as ever. Let’s see who could win the women’s and men’s Rumbles in 2019 when begins.

The two famous personalities, Shinsuke Nakamura and Asuka won the Royal Rumble last year, with Nakamura’s elimination of Roman Reigns being one of the limelight of a show that also comprised of Ronda Rousey’s WWE debut. WWE Royal Rumble 2019 promises to be just as action-packed, and I wonder how unpredictable it will seem once we approach the date.

As of right now, Roman Reigns is the Universal Champion, AJ Styles is the WWE Champion, Ronda Rousey is the Raw Women’s Champion, and Charlotte Flair is the SmackDown Women’s Champion. Only Rousey is a safe bet to remain the champion until WrestleMania 35, though it is more than plausible for Reigns and Styles to hold their titles at the Show of Shows.
