The Royal Rumble match is generally contested as the main event match of the annual event. There are some exceptions, such as the [[IWF Royal Rumble (1988)|1988]], [[IWF Royal Rumble (1996)|1996]], [[IWF Royal Rumble (1997)|1997]], [[IWF Royal Rumble (1998)|1998]], [[IWE Royal Rumble (2006)|2006]], and [[IWE Royal Rumble (2013)|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 [[IWE Royal Rumble (2018)|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.

The Royal Rumble is based on the classic [[Battle royal (professional wrestling)|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.

Signature match types Royal Rumble match

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.
