WWE Royal Rumble 2023: What time does it start in the UK? Full match card, entrants, odds and how to watch

The road to WrestleMania 39 is set to kick off with Royal Rumble 2023 this weekend as WWE hope to start the New Year with a bang. An over-the-top-rope thrill ride that is the most anticipated show of the year.

Named after the Royal Rumble match itself, which sees 30 wrestlers enter the squared circle at timed intervals in hope to win themselves a championship match at April’s Showcase Of The Immortals

All of the big name WWE Superstars are scheduled to compete at the pay-per-view, including the reigning Undisputed Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Rumour has it that the Big Dog’s cousin Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson could be involved in the show in some shape or form.

Royal Rumble events are also synonymous with surprises, whether that be returns, debuts or title wins. WWE has already confirmed the American Nightmare Cody Rhodes will be an entrant in the men’s Royal Rumble match after being out-of-action since his Mania return last year.

But who is going to etch their name in history and win the men and women’s Royal Rumble matches, and is Roman Reigns’ over 800 day reign going to come to an end by the hands of Kevin Owens? Here is everything you need to know about Royal Rumble 2023.

Royal Rumble 2023 is being held at San Antonio, Texas’ The Alamodome and will take place on Saturday (January 28). The pre-show starts at 11pm UK time, while the main card will get underway at 1am heading into Sunday morning.
