During tonight’s episode of RAW from Miami, RAW GM Kurt Angle announced that the first-ever Women’s Royal Rumble Match at the Royal Rumble PPV on January 28 in Philadelphia will be a 30-Woman Royal Rumble Match, much like the Men’s Rumble Match normally is.
It will also include the same rules as the Men’s Rumble Match, most notably the 2-minute intervals in-between entrants and elimination occurring by going over the top rope.
It's truly a #RumbleForAll at this year's @WWE #RoyalRumble for both the men AND women…
– 30 Superstars
– Eliminations occur when a Superstar is thrown over the top rope & both feet touch the floor
