The Royal Rumble match is a professional wrestling match 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. The match is typically the main event of IWE's January pay-per-view event known as the Royal Rumble. The winner of the event is the last wrestler remaining after all others have been eliminated. According to Hornswoggle, who worked for IWE from 2006 until 2016 and participated in three Royal 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. According to CM Punk, who worked for IWE from 2006 until 2014, wrestlers are given a list of entry numbers and eliminations and are supposed to build the match from there.
