What are the rules for Royal Rumble and how does it work?
The Royal Rumble typically consists of 30 competitors, beginning with two people in the ring. Every 90 seconds, another superstar runs out and joins the match. To be eliminated, a superstar must be thrown over the top rope and have both of their feet touch the floor.
Once there are no more superstars to be added to the match, the last person standing in the ring wins.
