Ladies and gentlemen…LEEEEEEEEEET’S GET READY TO RRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE! And now I owe Michael Buffer five bucks. Still, it’s worth it simply for the fact that one of the tentpole events on the WWE calendar kicks off this Sunday. Before Wrestlemania can arrive and highlight the showcase of the immortals, many a WWE superstar seeks to make a name in a ring where anything can and will go.

The rules have and always will be simple: Two superstars start out in the ring, with a new challenger entering every two minutes. The only way to be eliminated is to throw your opponent out of the ring and over the top ropes until only one man is left standing. The prize for the winner? A ticket to the Wrestlemania main event, to challenge for the title of their choice.

This year will see history made, as the women’s division will also hold their own Rumble. But hey! It’s not just top-rope ejection matches going down this Sunday! Here’s the rest of the match card for you to peruse through:

SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos vs. Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin (2-out-of-3-Falls Match)
Raw Tag Team Champions Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan vs. Cesaro and Sheamus
Universal Champion Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman vs. Kane (Triple Threat Match)
WWE Champion AJ Styles vs. Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn — 2-on-1 Handicap Match for the WWE Title
The first-ever 30-Woman Over-The-Top Royal Rumble Match
The 2018 30-Man Over-The-Top Royal Rumble Match
