The traditional 30-men over-the-top-rope battle royale promises plenty of excitement but it is the female wrestlers who will make history tonight at the very first women’s Royal Rumble match.
The likes of Asuka, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch will battle for a title shot at Wrestlemania 34 on April 8 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Legends from the past may also be included in both matches and rivalries will be formed ahead of the Showcase of the Immortals.
