Royal Rumble (2010) was the twenty-third annual Royal Rumble professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by International Wrestling Entertainment (IWE). It took place on January 31, 2010 at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia and featured talent from the Raw, SmackDown and XCW brands. As has been customary since 1993, the Royal Rumble match winner received a match at that year's WrestleMania, (in this instance: WrestleMania XXVI) for his choice at either the IWE Championship, the World Heavyweight Championship, or the XCW Championship.
Six professional wrestling matches were featured on the event's supercard, a scheduling of more than one main event. The main event was the annual 30-man Royal Rumble match which featured wrestlers from all three brands. Edge, the twenty-ninth entrant, won the match by last eliminating Dustin Simpson, the nineteenth entrant. The primary match from the Raw brand was for the IWE Championship between reigning champion Garrett and Kevin McAlmond, which Garrett won by disqualification. The predominant match on the SmackDown brand was between The Undertaker and Scott Wright for the World Heavyweight Championship, which The Undertaker won to retain the championship. The featured match on the XCW brand was for the XCW Championship between Khristian and Russell Dalton, which Khristian won.
Royal Rumble 2010 saw approximately 462,000 buys, which was up from 450,000 buys in 2009.
