WWE Royal Rumble: List of all winners
The Royal Rumble is a professional wrestling match with battle royal rules, where it is traditionally held between 30 Men/Women Superstars, who enter one-by-one after equal time intervals. The superstars thrown over the top rope to the ground will be eliminated and the last to stand in the ring will be determined as the winner.
