The road to WrestleMania begins today at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT at Royal Rumble, and the stakes are higher than ever heading into this year’s men’s and women’s Royal Rumble Match. Each bout will begin with only two WWE Superstars in the ring and every 90 seconds a new one will enter. Elimination only occurs when a Superstar has gone over the top rope and both feet have touched the floor. This continues until only one man or woman is left standing as the winner of the Royal Rumble Match, who will earn a guaranteed World Championship match when WrestleMania 40 comes to Philadelphia on April 6-7. Follow live updates and results from the wrestling event.
Also in the match card of the first WWE Premium Live Event (PLE) of the year and one of the four most important events (five, if you count Money In The Bank), the Undisputed WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns will put his title on the line against Randy Orton, AJ Styles and LA Knight in a Fatal 4-Way Match. Can The Tribal Chief overcome the odds and walk out to continue his historic reign of over 1421 days on The Road to WrestleMania? Also, the United States Champion Logan Paul will defend his title for the first time against former champion Kevin Owens.
WWE Royal Rumble 2024 will be exclusively livestreamed on Peacock on the US. While some live cable providers will offer a pay-per-view package to watch the fights, Peacock subscribers can tune into the first WWE’s Premium Live Event of the year for no additional cost. Another option is WWE Network, the streaming platform of the wrestling company for the rest of the world.

What to expect at today’s Royal Rumble 2024?
The annual Royal Rumble event serves as the starting point for the Road to WrestleMania, kicking off the best feuds and storylines on Raw and SmackDown. There are a dizzying amount of storylines to follow these days in WWE, and this event will serve as the stage to see them all in real time. The respective fields for the men’s and women’s top rope matches are more wide open than ever.
On the men’s side, CM Punk, who recently made his shocking return to WWE after nearly a decade absence, is aiming to win the Royal Rumble and move on to the main event at WrestleMania. However, Cody Rhodes is looking for his second win in as many years as he attempts to once again “finish history” and finally win a WWE World Championship.
While those two Superstars may seem like the heavy favorites to win the Rumble, there will be 28 other men vying for the opportunity to enter the main event at WrestleMania and, as we all know, there are sure to be some surprises that may overtake the rest of the roster.
