Royal Rumble 2018: Time, TV schedule, and matches for WWE PPV event

Competitors from both brands are fighting for a spot at Wrestlemania.

The Royal Rumble is here — which means wrestlers from both Raw and SmackDown will compete in a 30-man over-the-top-rope match for a chance to headline Wrestlemania 34. Also, the women from both brands will collide in the first-ever 30-woman Royal Rumble bout for a chance to compete for a championship at Wrestlemania. The 31st edition of the Royal Rumble will take place at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia at 8 p.m. ET, but the pre-show will kickoff at 7 p.m. ET.

As always, fans can only watch the Royal Rumble exclusively on the WWE Network. If you haven’t subscribed to the network, try to do so immediately. New subscribers won’t have to pay anything for the first month. But after that free month is up, you only have to pay $9.99 each month.

You can access the WWE Network through your phone, laptops, and many other devices.
