There’s no other event on the WWE calendar that consistently delivers like the Royal Rumble.
WrestleMania may be WWE’s biggest show of the year, but the Royal Rumble is foolproof in a way that even WrestleMania isn’t. While a lackluster card can make for a bad WrestleMania, the Royal Rumble is always worth watching. You know what you’re going to get every year. The men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches take up most of the pay-per-view and set the stage for the top of the WrestleMania card. The combination of anticipation, surprises and stakes makes the Royal Rumble the perfect pro wrestling concept.
The 2022 edition of the Royal Rumble will take place in St. Louis on Saturday night. The show always promises to be newsworthy, but it’s looking like that may be especially true this year. Rumors have been swirling that Ronda Rousey could soon be making her return to WWE, with an appearance at the Royal Rumble possibly being in the cards. If Rousey does show up at the Rumble, it would be the first time the UFC Hall of Famer and former Raw women’s champion has appeared for WWE since headlining WrestleMania 35 in 2019.
