While Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Brock Lesnar and Bobby Lashley are all slated to be on the card for the night, the premier events are the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches.

The Royal Rumble match is a unique take on the battle royal. In their respective matches, 30 men and 30 women will compete to earn a shot at the world title for their brands. The matches begin with two participants, and then after a certain amount of time, another participant will enter the ring. Competitors eliminate opponents by tossing them over the top rope and both feet hitting the floor.

The winner is the entrant who is last standing.

The Royal Rumble will begin at 8 p.m. ET and can be seen on Peacock and WWE Network.

Aside from the Royal Rumble matches, here’s what else is on the card.
