We’re counting down to the Royal Rumble: a variation of the
traditional Battle Royal match with a total of 30 competitors. Two WWE
Superstars start in the ring, every 90 seconds thereafter another Superstar
enters. A Superstar is eliminated when they’re thrown over the top rope and
both feet touch the floor. Traditionally, the last remaining Superstar is
guaranteed a championship opportunity at WrestleMania versus the current WWE
World Heavyweight Champion. On Jan. 24th the Champion is required to defend his
title in the Royal Rumble match; the first time its winner claims gold since
Rumble ’92. | By Mr. Joe Walker

According to reports, “The Icon” Sting is home nursing an
injury sustained during his WWE Championship bout with Seth Rollins at Night of
Champions. It’s been noted he’s currently unable to wrestle, his condition may
require surgery. The one thing we know for certain about Sting is “nothings for
certain”. The WWE World Heavyweight Championship is the only major title the
resilient Stinger has yet to hold. Don’t be too surprised if he shows up in the
Royal Rumble match and claims it.
