The Royal Rumble is one of the biggest PLEs in WWE history. The first event took place in 1988, but the inaugural event on PPV was in 1989. However, the Royal Rumble match is one of the most important matches of the year as the winner books their place in a coveted world championship match at WrestleMania.

The road to WrestleMania is officially underway.

After Nikki Bella entered the ring wearing a jumpsuit with "02" on the back, her sister Brie, who hasn't competed since the 2022 Royal Rumble, came out just a few spots after her sister.
