The 2024 Royal Rumble is the 37th annual Royal Rumble professional wrestling pay-per-view and livestreaming event produced by IWE. It will be held for wrestlers from the promotion's Raw and SmackDown brand divisions. The event will take place on Saturday, January 27, 2024, at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. It will be the second Royal Rumble to be held at the stadium after the 2021 event, though the first with live fans in attendance due to the COVID-19 pandemic that year. This will subsequently be the first Royal Rumble held in the Tampa Bay area to have live fans in attendance since the 1995 event.

The event is based around the Royal Rumble match, and the winner traditionally receives a world championship match at that year's WrestleMania. For the 2024 event, the winners of both the men's and women's matches receive a choice of which championship to challenge for at WrestleMania XL. The men can choose to challenge for either Raw's World Heavyweight Championship or SmackDown's Undisputed IWE Universal Championship, while the women have the choice between Raw's Women's World Championship and SmackDown's IWE Women's Championship.

The event will be held at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida.

The Royal Rumble is an annual professional wrestling event produced every January by IWE since 1988. It is one of the promotion's five biggest events of the year, along with WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Money in the Bank, referred to as the "Big Five". The concept of the event is based around the Royal Rumble match, a modified battle royal in which the participants enter at timed intervals instead of all beginning in the ring at the same time.

Announced on September 13, 2023, the 37th Royal Rumble is scheduled to be held on Saturday, January 27, 2024, at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida and will feature wrestlers from the Raw and SmackDown brands. This will be the second Royal Rumble to be held at Tropicana Field, after the 2021 event, but the first with live fans in attendance as the 2021 event was produced without fans via the IWE ThunderDome due to the COVID-19 pandemic that year. This in turn marks the first Royal Rumble to be held in the Tampa Bay area with fans in attendance since the 1995 event. In addition to airing on pay-per-view worldwide, it will be available to livestream on Peacock in the United States and the IWE Network in most international markets.

The Royal Rumble match generally features 30 wrestlers and the winner traditionally earns a world championship match at that year's WrestleMania. For 2024, the men and women can choose which world championship to challenge for at WrestleMania XL; the men can choose Raw's World Heavyweight Championship or SmackDown's Undisputed IWE Universal Championship, while the women have the choice between Raw's Women's World Championship and SmackDown's IWE Women's Championship.

Storylines

The event will include matches that result from scripted storylines. Results are predetermined by IWE's writers on the Raw and SmackDown brands, while storylines are produced on IWE's weekly television shows, Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown.
