It`s almost time for the greatest WWE PPV of the year--take that, Wrestlemania. The Royal Rumble is coming to the WWE Network and to pay-per-view on Sunday, January 27. Chase Field in Phoenix, Arizona will host the event, and it should be a good one, mainly because the two Royal Rumble matches are the driving force of the PPV.If you want to watch it for yourself, tune into the WWE Network this Sunday at 7 PM ET / 4 PM PT, but keep in mind that a Kickoff Show will begin airing two hours prior, and there are normally a couple matches on that show.Every non-Rumble match on this card is a title match, and we`re bound to see at least a couple of title changes, right? A wild Brock Lesnar appears to defend--and hopefully lose--his Universal Championship. If you`ve forgotten, the Universal Championship is the red one which shows up on TV four times a year. Additionally, there are two women`s title matches that should be a blast to watch, especially the Smackdown bout as it`s Becky Lynch vs. Asuka. Check out the match card below.Royal Rumble match card:Buddy Murphy (c) vs. Akira Tozawa vs. Kalisto vs. Hideo Itami (Cruiserweight Championship)The Bar (c) vs. The Miz & Shane McMahon (Smackdown Tag Team Championship)Asuka (c) vs. Becky Lynch (Smackdown Women`s Championship)Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Sasha Banks (Raw Women`s Championship)Rusev (c) vs. Shinsuke Nakamura (United States Championship)Women`s Royal RumbleMen`s Royal RumbleDaniel Bryan (c) vs. AJ Styles (WWE Championship)Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Finn Balor (Universal Championship)Obviously, this won`t be the final card for the show, and the matches listed above may not appear in the order listed.
