The WWE Royal Rumble 2019 happens today, Jan. 27 in Phoenix, Arizona. Each year's Royal Rumble signals the start of "Wrestlemania season", which this year culminates with Wrestlemania 35 on April 7 in New Jersey. Just like last year, the 2019 Royal Rumble will actually showcase two battle royals: one each for 30 WWE female superstars and 30 WWE male superstars. Beyond the actual Royal Rumble matches, the card is really stacked with nearly every WWE title on the line today -- the Intercontinental title is the only one not up for grabs. Check out the specific start times as well as the full match card below.
