Number 5: WWE Royal Rumble: 1988-Present
The event that has 30… now 40 superstars rumbling for the main event spot at WrestleMania. It has been held in 19 different cities. The prestige, the name, the classic bouts that occurred in the ring are so memorable. The name fit the billing, a colossal event that could only be determined each January. It is the kick-off to the road to WrestleMania, and creates some great finished. HBK, Stone Cold, The Rock, John Cena, and Triple H all have been previous winners who had fantastic main event moments only a few months later on the "Grandest Stage of them All." A rumble, a battle, and a battle royal rumble. They put two older ideas together to make the most exciting hour of PPV all year.
