We are officially on the road to Wrestlemania.
WWE is holding the Royal Rumble today, where 30 of the best men and women wrestlers in the world will compete for a chance to compete for a spot in a championship match in Las Vegas in April.
Today’s card certainly does feature the two matches that will set the stage for WrestleMania, but there’s also some huge matches that have nothing to do with WrestleMania. Well, other than the fallout.
We also have a championship match, as well as a match that could be the final one of one of the biggest stars in the industry.
We’ll be with you from the opening bell until the final bell as we get ready for the 2026 Royal Rumble.
