One thing is clear by now: the Royal Rumble is made of Teflon. In the past decade, the collection of Rumble matches has been comprised of a few mild successes and several catastrophic failures. And yet, the underlying match concept is inarguably genius, has provided us with some of our favorite memories over the years, and it's very difficult not to get excited to watch this match no matter how many times it has let us down. The elevation of women in the WWE has also taken us to a place where we get two Rumble matches per event instead of just the one, and I'm definitely here for it.
Tonight's card features not only those Rumble matches, but some strong championship matches: Daniel Bryan (c) vs. AJ Styles; Asuka (c) vs. Becky Lynch; and Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Sasha Banks. (There's some other stuff too.)
The fun starts at 7 p.m. ET. Or, if you're bed-ridden with a debilitating illness and exclusively subscribed to the WWE Network and have no other TV options, you could watch the pre-show starting at 5 p.m.
