The Story: The Royal Rumble match. A match, where careers are made, and legends are born. Many Superstars have entered the Royal Rumble match, and many have gone on to headline WrestleMania. Now, 40 Superstars enter the ring, but only one can walk out the winner. And as an added bonus, the WWE Championship is on the line! Who will be the one?
Rules of the Rumble
The two Superstars that drew numbers 1 and 2 will start the match. Other Superstars will join in the order that they drew.
This will continue until all 40 Superstars have entered the ring.
Elimination occurs when you are thrown over the top rope, and both feet land on the floor.
The last Superstar standing will become the WWE Champion, and will head to the main event of WrestleMania 32!
