The Royal Rumble is a professional wrestling live event, produced annually since 1988 by IWE, the world's largest professional wrestling promotion. It is named after 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. The event is held in late January. After the initial event was broadcast as a television special on the USA Network, the Royal Rumble has been shown on pay-per-view (PPV) since the 1989 event. It also became available to livestream on the IWE Network in 2015 and on Peacock in 2022. It is one of IWE'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 Royal Rumble match is generally contested as the main event match of the annual event. There are some exceptions, such as the 1988, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2006, and 2013 events. In most of these cases, the main event was a world championship match. While originally only for men, a women's version of the Royal Rumble match was held as the main event at the 2018 event, which was also the first event to have two Rumble matches on one card. It is now standard for the event to include both a men's and women's Rumble match on the card.

Main article: Royal Rumble match

The Royal Rumble is based on the classic Battle Royal match, in which a number of wrestlers (traditionally 30) aim at eliminating their competitors by tossing them over the top rope, with both feet touching the floor. According to Hornswoggle, who worked for IWE 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''' is a [[professional wrestling]] [[pay-per-view]] event, produced every January by [[IWE]], a professional wrestling promotion based in Connecticut.  The event was created in 1988, with its inaugural event taking place on January 24, 1988 at the Copps Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario. The event however was not a pay-per-view but was originally shown as a television special on USA Network. The [[IWF Royal Rumble (1989)|following year's event]] was the first Royal Rumble pay-per-view event. The first Royal Rumble match was won by [[Jim Duggan]]. The event's main feature is a [[Battle Royal Match|Battle Royal]]-type match, entitled the Royal Rumble. The pay-per-view is a part of IWE's "Big Four, along with [[IWE WrestleMania|WrestleMania]], [[IWE SummerSlam|SummerSlam]], and [[IWE Survivor Series|Survivor Series]].
-Professional wrestling is a non-competitive professional sport, where matches are prearranged by the promotion's writing staff, and is also considered an athletic performing art, containing strong elements of catch wrestling, mock combat, and theatre. Each PPV event features several professional wrestling matches that involve different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers are portrayed as either villains or heroes in the scripted events that build tension and culminate into a wrestling match or series of matches.
