Royal Rumble (2015)

Royal Rumble (2015) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming show made by WWE. It took place on January 25, 2015, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was the 28th Royal Rumble event held by WWE and the first to also stream live on the WWE Network.

Background
As is the case every year since the event's beginning, the event's main event was the 30-man over-the-top-rope battle royal, also known as the Royal Rumble match. The match started with two wrestlers and a new one was added every 90 seconds. To eliminate an opposing wrestler he must be thrown over the top rope and have both his two feet hit the floor, this continued until there was only one man left, who was named the winner. The winner received a WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania 31.
