Number of Participants and Women's Royal Rumble Rules Officially Revealed

RAW General Manager Kurt Angle confirmed tonight that the first-ever women's Royal Rumble match will have 30 Superstars, just like the men's match.

Angle also confirmed that rules for both matches will be the same as eliminations will occur when Superstars go over the top rope and both feet touch the floor.


As noted before, the winner of the match will challenge the RAW Women's Champion or the SmackDown Women's Champion at WrestleMania 34.

The only female Superstars confirmed for the match as of this writing are Asuka, Naomi, Ruby Riott and Natalya. Male Superstars confirmed are John Cena, Elias, Shinsuke Nakamura and Randy Orton.

It's truly a #RumbleForAll at this year's @WWE #RoyalRumble for both the men AND women...
