What is Royal Rumble?
Royal Rumble is a 30-wrestler match in which two wrestlers begin in the ring, and another enters every 90 seconds. A wrestler is eliminated when he or she goes over the top rope and both feet touch the floor. The winner is last wrestler remaining in the ring, and he or she earns a berth in a world championship match at WrestleMania 41 on April 20 in Las Vegas.

What is a Ladder match? Why are Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens fighting?
Cody Rhodes and Kevin Owens will battle for the Undisputed WWE Championship. This match arises from altercations over recent months.
On Oct. 5, Rhodes put aside past differences with Roman Reigns to compete in a tag team match. Owens considered this a betrayal and attacked Rhodes near his bus.
On Dec. 14, Owens and Rhodes battled. Owens pinned Rhodes after the referee had been knocked temporarily unconscious. After the ref recovered, Rhodes pinned Owens, retaining his Undisputed title. However, Owens delivered a banned piledriver and pinned Rhodes after the event, taking the Winged Eagle WWE Title belt − which Rhodes had brought out of retirement for one night − claiming the championship as his.
On Dec. 27, Rhodes challenged Owens to a Ladder match. The Undisputed and Winged Eagle title belts will hang above the ring, and the wrestler who pulls them down takes them.
