On the 2018 30-Man Royal Rumble match:
Thirty Superstars from Raw and SmackDown LIVE will fight for sports-entertainment immortality when the 2018 Royal Rumble Match invades the award-winning WWE Network as part of the 30th Anniversary of the winter extravaganza tonight with a special start time of 7 ET/4 PT.

The last Superstar in the ring will be declared the victor.
So far, the following the Superstars have been announced for the gigantic match:
1) John Cena
2) Roman Reigns
3) Finn Bálor
4) Randy Orton
5) Shinsuke Nakamura
6) The Miz
7) Elias
8) Baron Corbin
9) “Woken” Matt Hardy
10) Bray Wyatt
11) Aiden English
12) Rusev

14) Apollo Crews
15 Tye Dillinger
16) Big E
17) Kofi Kingston
18) Xavier Woods
On the first-ever 30-Woman Royal Rumble match:
History will be made at the 30th Anniversary of the Royal Rumble when the WWE Universe witnesses the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match tonight.
It was truly an emotional moment on the Dec. 18 edition of Monday Night Raw when Commissioner Stephanie McMahon made the monumental announcement, declaring that female WWE Superstars will compete for a championship opportunity at WrestleMania 34.
In the historic event, the same rules that apply to the Men’s Royal Rumble Match will apply to the Women’s. Thirty Superstars will enter, one at a time, at consistent intervals. An elimination occurs when a Superstar is sent over the top rope with both feet touching the floor, and the last woman standing will receive a Championship Match at WrestleMania.
With 30 spots available in the ground-breaking contest, the competition promises to be as fierce as it gets. 16 Superstars have officially declared so far including:
1) Asuka
2) Ruby Riott
3) Liv Morgan
4) Sarah Logan
5) Sasha Banks
6) Nia Jax
7) Bayley
8) Naomi
9) Natalya
10) Sonya Deville
11) Mandy Rose
12) Mickie James
13) Tamina Snuka
14) Lana
15) Carmella
16) Becky Lynch
17) Dana Brooke
18) Alicia Fox
