To many wrestling fans, the Royal Rumble is the most anticipated WWE event of the year. Forget the glitz and glamour of WrestleMania, forget the patented Biggest Party of the Summer, forget the lavish Saudi Arabia-set spectacles - for a whole lot of us, Royal Rumble is the biggest and best event on the pro wrestling calendar.

The Royal Rumble officially begins "The Road to WrestleMania." One of the most iconic pay-per-view events in the WWE, the Royal Rumble pits 30 participants against one another to determine who will be the last one standing in the ring. In 2025, Cody Rhodes will look to match "Stone Cold" Steve Austin's record of three Royal Rumble wins.
