WWE Royal Rumble Saudi Arabia 2026
Since 1988, the Royal Rumble has been a yearly professional wrestling event. Instead of starting in the ring simultaneously, the competitors enter at predetermined times in this modified battle royal. Along with WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series, and Money in the Bank, it is one of the “Big Five” events that WWE hosts each year.
The main event of the yearly event is usually the Royal Rumble match. The 2018 event, which was the first to feature two Rumble bouts on one bill, featured a women’s Royal Rumble battle as the main event, despite the fact that it was initially exclusively for men. It is now standard to have both men and women events.
