WWE’s 34th annual Royal Rumble event takes place on Jan. 31 at the WWE ThunderDome inside St. Petersburg’s Tropicana Field. As has been seen in the advertising, this year’s event has a classic comic book theme, and that was on full display when official poster for the show was unveiled this week. The poster prominently features Kofi Kingston, Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, AJ Styles, Charlotte Flair, Bianca Belair, Keith Lee, Asuka and Jey Uso.
So far only four matches have been confirmed for the show โ two world championship defenses by Roman Reigns & Drew McIntyre and the Men’s and Women’s Rumble matches. You can see the full lineup (as of now) below:
