The 2024 Royal Rumble is the first stop on the road to WrestleMania XL, and while there's no match for the Show of Shows in terms of prestige, nothing compares to the pair of 30-person battle royals that have given this event its name. Cody Rhodes, CM Punk and Bianca Belair are amongst the superstars that have thrown their names into the squared circle, but WWE has left a lot of room for surprises, so be sure you know how to watch the 2024 Royal Rumble from anywhere with a VPN.

St. Petersburg's Tropicana Field looks like the perfect launchpad for AEW lynchpin Jade Cargill, who's made a smattering of low-key appearances since signing to WWE. She's being tipped by some as a potential winner, which would be a first for a Royal Rumble debutant, and there are also rumors surrounding Sasha Banks and Naomi.

Seth Rollins is one wrestler who definitely won't be involved, having recently suffered an MCL and meniscus tear, and the show is also likely to have come too soon for Raquel Rodriguez, who has been laid low by mast cell activation syndrome.

The award for each winner will be a championship match at WrestleMania, though those aren't the only prizes up for grabs on Saturday. Roman Reigns has laid his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship belt on the line in a fatal fourway against Randy Orton, AJ Styles and LA Knight, while Logan Paul and Kevin Owens will duke it out for the WWE United States Championship.
