The road to WrestleMania starts with the Royal Rumble this weekend. The 35th staging of the event promises to be as spectacular as ever.

This season's build-up to WrestleMania kicks off with the 2022 Royal Rumble. The 35th staging of the event promises all the sensational drama and action it brings fans every year. No wonder it's one of the most-loved events on the WWE calendar.

Stuntman and Jackass star Johnny Knoxville is a surprise inclusion in the men's Royal Rumble, the headline event of the Rumble along with the women's Royal Rumble.

The Royal Rumble is arguably the WWE's second-biggest event following WrestleMania. The pay-per-view (PPV) event is also a favourite with fans as the main event sees 30 superstars tussle it out and try to throw each other over the top rope.

The other big match will be Brock Lesner defending his world title against Bobby Lashley.

When is the Royal Rumble?

This year's Royal Rumble pay-per-view event takes place in The Dome at America's Center in St Louis, Missouri on Sunday 30 January. The action kicks off at 11am AEDT.

Royal Rumble is a pay-per-view event, unlike regular WWE programming that was added to Kayo Sports and Foxtel Now a couple of years ago. You have options for catching all the action.

Stream Royal Rumble on WWE Network

If you're a wrestling fan then the WWE Network is your best bet. For US$9.99 a month you'll have access to every single new PPV as well as the biggest archive of WWE programming possible. No seriously, the WWE network has every PPV ever and loads of content from WCW.

WWE Network also has 24/7 programming with exclusive shows and documentaries. Unfortunately there's no longer a free trial available so you'll need to sign up to watch the Royal Rumble too.

You can watch WWE Network via iOS or Android devices, PC, Mac, Apple TV, AirPlay, Google Chromecast, PlayStation 3 and PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One consoles.

Watch Royal Rumble on Kayo Sports

But if you want to order over the phone you'll incur a $2 fee on top of the $29.95 PPV. If you have Optus TV featuring Foxtel, your only option is to order Royal Rumble over the phone and incur the fee.
