Royal Rumble (2010)

Royal Rumble (2010) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view event made by World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE). It took place on January 31, 2010 at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. It was the 23rd Royal Rumble event held by WWE. 

As always, the Royal Rumble match winner got a match at that year's WrestleMania (in this instance: WrestleMania XXVI) for his choice at either the WWE Championship, the World Heavyweight Championship or the ECW World Championship.

Six professional wrestling matches were on the event's card. The main event was the annual 30-man Royal Rumble match which featured wrestlers from all three brands. Edge, the twenty-ninth person to enter, won the match by last eliminating John Cena, the nineteenth person to enter. The main match on the Raw brand was for the WWE Championship between champion Sheamus and Randy Orton, which Sheamus won by disqualification. The main match on the SmackDown brand was between The Undertaker and Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship, which The Undertaker won. The main match on the ECW brand was for the ECW Championship between Christian and Ezekiel Jackson, which Christian won.
