## Background

The main match heading into the show is the Royal Rumble Match, in which the winner will be getting a WWF Championship shot at Wrestlemania 15.

For the first time ever, there will be a 10 Women Royal Rumble match in which the winner will get a Women's Championship shot at Wrestlemania 15

Dan Severn will defend his WWF Championship against The Rock. The Union managed to defeat Team Vince at Survivor Series which got Jim Cornette the co-ownership spot as well as the Survivor Series Briefcases, Severn got a WWF title shot due to it, The Union and The Corporation have tried being allies due to Vince and Cornette now being co-owners but the animosity is clear as Severn has attacked Rock multiple times and even knocked out Vince Mcmahon in one instance, Severn shockingly broke Rock's arm and won the WWF Championship at Judgment Day with a kimura lock, Rock returned and immediatly set his sights to regain the title as he beat up Severn and he will get his rematch tonight

Big Stevie Cool won a triple threat NO1 contendership to the European Championship and his BWO partner HHL managed to also enter the match making it a triple threat, tensions have been rising with BWO as some members don't like each other and it's unsure if they will help each other against Kurt Angle tonight

Undertaker and his Ministry of Darkness have been terrorizing WWF since 1996, with its main goal being to please the higher power, he started a feud with The Corporation at G1 Finals as they interfered in his WWF title match against Austin and made him lose, Vince Mcmahon explained that he knew The Rock could defeat Austin for the title but he wasn't sure if he could defeat Undertaker as he was a demon, Taker tried having a match against Vince which his son Shane Mcmahon refused, Taker sent Shane through a wall and threatened that if he didn't get Vince, he would simply kill his son. Shane requested a match against him to Vince but he immediatly refused, Shane was kidnapped and put on a dark alley and forced to sign a contract for a match between Shane and Taker, Taker completely brutalized Shane at Judgment Day to get the win. Shane wanted another fight against them and made Test, Steve Blackman, Shane and Gerald Brisco against Minstry of Darkness, Brisco got a heart attack because of this announcment and was removed from the match, former member of The Corporation Jeff Jarrett returned and asked to be the last member of the match which Vince agreed to even if he didn't agree with what Shane was doing

Mankind wanted to get revenge on Undertaker in a buried alive match against him at Fully Loaded but Kane interfered beating up Mankind wanting to be the one who buried alive Taker, Mankind and Kane started a really good feud as they kept brawling throught the weeks and going through crazier spots as Mankind threw Kane off a flight of stairs, Kane chokeslammed Mankind off the stage and more stuff, Mankind just wanted to face Kane but no one knew why, he revealed that he knew if he didn't defeat Kane, he would always be stopped by him as he tried to stop Undertaker, his main goal is to end Ministry of Darkness but with Kane having the goal of destroying Undertaker, he will never be able to do it. Undertaker said he could manage to get Mankind a match against Kane if Mankind joined Ministry of Darkness, he was about to do it until Vince gave him a hardcore match against Kane if Mankind joined The Corporation which Mankind accepted, Mankind has announced that Cactus Jack will come out tonight in what is sure to be a war against Kane
