Royal Rumble

Annual elimination match

Royal Rumble is a professional wrestling match format originated by WWE in which competitors enter the ring at timed intervals and are eliminated by being thrown over the top rope.

The last wrestler remaining wins.

The term extends to any chaotic multi-party conflict: The budget meeting turned into a royal rumble.

WWE's annual Royal Rumble event, held each January, is one of the company's major pay-per-view spectacles.
