Aside from knowing how to eliminate fellow wrestlers from the Royal Rumble, careful consideration should be made about choosing the right superstar for your stylistic preferences and their durability in a potentially long match. Naturally, wrestlers with the highest rating, such as Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes,Rhea Ripley, or Becky Lynch, will be best equipped for the challenges that come with the Rumble.

The fastest and lowest-energy method of eliminating combatants from the Royal Rumble is to simply clothesline them over the top rope. By doing this, you’ll avoid having to partake in any mini-games and, if the superstar has suffered a bit of damage, the elimination will occur almost instantly.
