Royal Rumble 1992 was the seventh Royal Rumble event produced by World Wrestling Federation which took place on 5th January 1992

## Background

The main match heading into the show is the Royal Rumble Match, in a turn of events Haku has decided that he wants a good challenge so he will put his WWF Championship on the line in this match so 29 other men will fight for the chance of a lifetime

At Wrestlemania 6, Texas Tornado debuted as he and Mr.Perfect joined up to form the second iteration of Ringmasters, throught 1990 they tried to get British Bulldog to join them but Bulldog answered with a lowblow at Summerslam 1990 after losing a Intercontinental Championship match, they feuded for a while until Bulldog realized at Wrestlemania 7 that his spot should be on The Ringmasters and joined them. At Summerslam 1991, British Bulldog defeated Randy Savage to win the Intercontinental Championship, Texas Tornado and Mr.Perfect issued their revenge as they beat up Bulldog replacing him for Bret Hart in their group. During the G1, Ringmasters started having issues which boiled up when Mr.Perfect eliminated Texas Tornado which led to their breakup as both men beat up each other and Bret joined in. At G1 Finals 1991, Tornado was scheduled to wrestle Bulldog for the IC title but Mr.Perfect took his spot and won it instead, Tornado would win the IC Championship from Perfect in an episode of RAW and now all 3 men British Bulldog, Mr.Perfect and Bret Hart want that title as we are having a fatal 4 way between masters of the ring.

Ever since the start of the year, Shawn Michaels and Marty Jannetty have been having issues with their teamwork, accidentally hitting each other and constantly losing matches even to rookie teams, Shawn walked out on Jannetty at G1 Finals 1991 and looked to start his singles career as he faced Jimmy Snuka in the first match of his farewell tour, Jannetty returned and tried to help Shawn win the match but it only distracted him making him lose, Shawn had grown more and more infuriated with Jannetty, they were both guests in The Barber Shop at This Tuesday in Texas where they made amends and hugged it out but Shawn turned heel and sweet chin music'd Jannetty and threw him through the barber shop window, Shawn claims that Jannetty was dead weight for his singles career and tonight they fight it off possibly settling who will be the future of WWF
