WWE Royal Rumble is one of the most exciting pay-per-views on the calendar, and 2022 promises to be no different.
Wrestling fans get to see incredible action and drama. There are also insane surprises that occur during the two annual Royal Rumble matches.

Bianca Belair, meanwhile, was the winner of the women’s match. A total of 60 Superstars across the two matches will be looking to write their names in the history books this year.
The other highlights of this year’s card include three blockbuster WWE title matches. Roman Reigns puts his Universal title on the line against Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins. Brock Lesnar defends his WWE Championship against Bobby Lashley. Becky Lynch, meanwhile, is looking to retain her Raw Women’s Championship against Doudrop.
