The Royal Rumble match is one of the most uncertain matches in the WWE as 30 superstars compete for an opportunity to headline the "Grandest Stage Of Them All", WrestleMania. It is also one of the most exciting matches and generates a lot of intrigue within the WWE fans and critics alike.

Every year, 60-70% participants in the Royal Rumble match are pre-advertised while the remaining slots give WWE an opportunity to surprise and sometimes shock its fans by bringing unexpected competitors in the match.

At times, we see long retired WWE Superstars legends making a one-time appearance at Royal Rumble or NXT Superstars using Royal Rumble as a way to enter the main roster. Returning Superstars, who have been away from WWE programming for a while due to injury or for storyline purpose, also make a comeback much to the delight of the WWE Universe.
