The road to Wrestlemania has already had its first stop at the Royal Rumble, and over the course of the evening, there were plenty of title matches and two huge Rumble matches, which determined the challengers for two Wrestlemania title bouts. There were plenty of surprises over the course of the evening, and you can check out the full results for the show below.

　　It is my favorite day of the year. Today, we celebrate our Royal Rumble day! One of WWE's longest-running PPVs delivers its 31st installment, and it should be a blast. Like last year's edition, there will be both a men's and women's royal rumble match, and there will be plenty of surprises during the evening.

　　Now Playing: WWE 2K19 - Mascot Royal Rumble Full Match Gameplay

　　This year's event comes to PPV and the WWE Network starting at 4 PM PT / 7 PM ET / 12 AM GMT (January 28); however, there is a Kickoff Show starting two hours prior. As of this writing, there will be two matches on the preshow: one for the Cruiserweight Championship and one for the United States Championship.

　　Aside from both Royal Rumble matches, there is a lot to look forward to for the January PPV. There are seven championship matches on the card, with only the Raw Tag Team Championship and Intercontinental Championship missing from the show. In total, there are nine matches on the card, and with the Rumble matches usually lasting more than an hour--and with two of them on the card--it's going to be one long evening of wrestling.

　　Brock Lesnar shows up to defend his Universal Champion against Finn Balor, the first person to win that title. Hopefully, Lesnar loses and we never see him again (That's just my hopeful prediction). Daniel Bryan vs. AJ Styles for the WWE Championship should be a fantastic and highly athletic match, but on the Smackdown side of things, Asuka vs. Becky Lynch for the Smackdown Women's Championship should be a barn-burner, as both Lynch and Asuka have been killing it on the Tuesday night show. Check out the full match card below.
