Join us at the Fifth Annual 80s Wrestling Con on Saturday, May 4th, at the Mennen Sports Arena in Morristown, NJ, featuring The Four Horsemen, Jake Roberts, and More! 80sWrestlingCon.com.
WWE Royal Rumble is quickly approaching as the show is just hours away from happening, and the planned match order has been revealed based on the internal production listing.
Road to WrestleMania
The show, which officially kick-starts the road to WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia this April, only has four matches confirmed thus far, including two title matches. It appears WWE is going forward with this number of matches without adding another bout despite typical PLEs under Triple H’s booking consisting of 5-6 matches, and there’s a good reason for that.
Both Rumble matches will likely go an hour, if not longer, and the other two matches are expected to get plenty of time.
Match card
According to Fightful Select, the current scheduled match order for tonight is as follows:
Women’s Royal Rumble Match:
Competitors confirmed this far: Bayley, Nia Jax, Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch
Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Match:
Roman Reigns (champion) vs. LA Knight vs. AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton
