WWE has now revealed some names out of the 30 participants who will be fighting for Men’s Royal Rumble Match as well as for the Women's Royal Rumble Match. This year's Royal Rumble event will take place on Sunday, January 31, inside the ThunderDome at Tropicana Field in Tampa. There will be a lot of action filling out the rest of the event, including some potentially huge championship bouts. The show will stream live on the WWE Network beginning at 7 pm ET following a one-hour kickoff show beginning at 6 pm.

Royal Rumble Match (Men)

Daniel Bryan became the first one to declare he would take part in the Royal Rumble match, and plenty of names should follow in the coming weeks. Of course, as with every year, there will be plenty of surprise participants, so we will not know the entire 30-man field ahead of the event. However, you can expect most of those who perform regularly on Raw and SmackDown to join the field. One early surprise was Edge announcing his participation on the final pre-Rumble edition of Raw. Out of the 30 men who will be participating in the match, 16 names have been revealed so far.

Royal Rumble Match (Women)

For just the fourth time, the women will have their chance to earn a title shot by participating in a Royal Rumble. The first women's Royal Rumble took place in 2018, with Asuka scoring a victory in the match but failing to defeat Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania to win the Raw title. Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair won the following two years, both going on to win titles at WrestleMania. The Raw and SmackDown locker rooms should begin declaring for the Rumble in the coming weeks. 12 names have been revealed for the Female Category of the Royal Rumble Match. Here is the complete list.
