It appears that wrestlers are allowed to use weapons if they enter at their allocated number However, any early involvement in the ring action could potentially result in subsequent disqualification Didn't even know that this remain complex as in 2003 Christian was involved in Chris Jericho's scheme to distract Shawn Michaels early on in the match and Christian was still allowed to Re-enter the match when his time came this could likely be explained that because Christian in physically enter the ring Then he didn't count as an attempt to enter the annual matchup number seven. You can enter at your own Yeah, I mean I guess if you want to you know, I guess you can say that It's crazy because they have used weapons before but I do remembered Finley using that Shalely Got disqualified Pleasure it's often the case that wrestlers charge to the ring when their music hits yet This isn't a set rule that wrestlers must follow over the years Wrestlers have smartly taken their time to enter the matchup and some of them have even decided to rest on the outside or even to live a commentary In 1991 it was mentioned in passing that a wrestler has until the next entrant to make his way into the ring Yet this was never enforced in any subsequent years and obviously this rule implies that the number 30 entrant had an entire Calendar year to enter the matchup To limit these kind of spots every wrestler just rolled on the outside of the ring It would make for an awkward and bizarre matchup Yeah Nevertheless, it's an indeed a rule that wrestlers don't have to immediately enter the action No number six if you're sick, you don't get replaced if a wrestler is injured on the day of the show They will usually be replaced. However, it looks like different rules apply to illness in 1994 Bastion Booga was set to make his entrance yet. He never showed up It was later explained that Booga had food poisoning in reality WWE didn't replace Booga as the roster was unbelievably thin and Booga legitimately no showed the event However in the cafe world of wrestling They seem to imply that the illness means that the rest of the spot remains open just in case they can make the very last second Number five. Can you actually replace you nowadays because they have plenty of people they can put in that spot even if it's even if it's a person that Doesn't they didn't plan on having anything prominent for them to do in the Royal Rumble They will find a random fucking J.A.G. In the back to put in that spot if you're not able to go the only time they'll have to really do some Moving around as if it's someone that they had plans for within the Royal Rumble Or maybe like the last few competitors or maybe even the winner Then they're gonna have to do some some major moving around and plans will change Play eliminate yourself over the years numerous wrestlers have eliminated themselves in order to attack an arch rival Explicitly stated that wrestlers aren't permitted to do this in 1992's Rumble Macho Man Randy Savage jumped over the top rope to attack Jake Roberts and the commentary team stated that Savage had been eliminated However, this was a botch and Savage wasn't actually supposed to be eliminated This meant that WWE had no choice but to call it an audible and literally changed the Rumble rules as they went along The WWE commentary team would then declare that because Savage wasn't literally thrown over the top rope He was able to return to the match. It was very confusing and hasn't been applied since Number four there can only be one winner The 1994 Royal Rumble was historic as it saw two wrestlers win the Royal Rumble for the first time ever Both Bret Hart and Lex Luger fell out of the ring at the same time and as a result It was declared that both men would be heading to WrestleMania However over a decade later at the 2005 Rumble when both John Cena and Batista fell out of the ring at the same time It was ruled that the match needed to be restarted as only one man could win and headline WrestleMania The cave-abe explanation of this rule is that it's down to the president of the company at the time of the incident It's not buddy, but just seeing Vince Vince McMahon Sitting in the ring because he tore his quads getting in the ring, bro, and he had to sit there and bark orders sitting It's it's a crazy visual, bro For instance in 1994 WWE president Jack Tony made the executive call to have two winners then in 2005 It was chairman Vince McMahon's call to restart the match up So whilst in theory the rule is only one wrestler can win a history shows that the showrunner has ultimate authority in this regard in 2012 at WWE released a list of rules that fans weren't aware of and in the rules They outright stated if two men win the Rumble then the acting authority figure doesn't just have the power to crown one of both Men as a winner. They can restart the match with all 30 competitors There always must be a winner in the Royal Rumble match But what if the last two participants are eliminated at the same time two specific incidents in Rumble history caused WWE to insinuate a peculiar contingency plan to give the general manager or commissioner more Flexibility when tasks were making a very tough call while it's proven to be a rare occurrence There's no doubt this kind of scenario creates a lot of confusion and leaves one superstar thinking he may have been robbed of a victory What better way to assure even odds and keep the WWE universe on its toes than to make the final two participants fight 28 other superstars over again after all who wouldn't want to witness double the Royal Rumble match madness in one night Now that's people power number three no Restart the match with these last two and get it over with You can build a story off of that. You can literally build a story off of that Just off that alone Someone can have a gripe like bro. We fell out at the same time I think I fell first only for them to restart the match and then he throws me over You know make some excuse you could build off of that. You can literally build off of that. Don't don't restart the match. Hell, no No, you gotta get everybody back out there. No free You can use anything to avoid elimination one of the most exciting elements of the Royal Rumble match is seeing how wrestlers avoid Elimination names such as Kofi Kingston and Naomi have made lasting memories avoiding elimination in some of the craziest ways imaginable And the best thing about these spots is that they're totally legal Wrestlers are permitted to use any weapons or objects around the ring area to avoid elimination And they can seemingly also use outside wrestlers for help to stay in the ring number two you can legally attack No more Kofi spots. I think we the Kofi spots need to be retired Maybe someone else does it the past few years. They haven't been he hasn't been able to really do them So I think the Kofi spots you can retire them. They've been a novelty for many many years I think it's time to retire the Kofi saving himself spots a Royal Rumble participant Being part of a Royal Rumble is a huge opportunity for a WWE wrestler Yet in kayfabe a wrestler can legally have their spot in the Rumble taken away from them Yeah numerous instances of this have occurred over the years notably in 1999 when head banger Marsh was about to make his entrance He was attacked backstage by Mabel Mabel then simply walked out of the backstage area to the ring and WWE even played Mabel's theme Thus applying he was illegally allowed and a wrestler can be attacked backstage replaced by their attacker a truly crazy rule If you think about it a similar incident occurred in 2004 when test was laid out backstage by Mick Foley this time Stone Cold Steve Austin directly ordered Foley to get in the Ring and replace tests and this seemed to imply that it's a condition that the attacker must replace the original Royal Rumble Identical rules apply when it comes to stolen numbers as in 2005 Kurt Angle simply stole Nancy's number backstage and this was legally allowed despite Angle already having a world title match on the show Same thing happened with our truth. He got attacked by Nia Jackson. She just took his spot in the men's Royal Rumble match Imagine you you get excited you got your number. You're about to go out there and someone says hey you pal You turn around and they throw a steel chair at your face Now you can cussed and then they play their music as They walk down the ramp and you just shit out of luck and a lot of times Nothing happens they for people that get attacked and can't go into the match nothing happens They just forget about it that that same day the next day. They don't even remember Like they don't even try to get the revenge. I'll be thinking that's a perp a great story set up You took my Royal Rumble spot You didn't even do nothing with it You took me out the match before I can get in the match I'm about to beat the crap out of you most of them. They just oh well Okie-dokie That's a crazy rule, bro. Such a crazy thing one you can outright request to replace an injured wrestler in 2019 as an injured Lana was hobbling to the ring Becky Lynch came out and requested that she should be the one to replace Lana in the match This was then approved by Finley and Lynch was allowed to enter the match and she went on to win the whole thing However, what would happen if multiple wrestlers began to fight for the spot would Finley have to just pick one at random Yeah, what happened if Lynch simply attacked Lana interestingly at the same show Nia Jax attacked our truth on the entrance ramp and she proceeded to enter the match This obviously implied that wrestlers can still be attacked and subsequently replaced even when they're entering the match However, if Jax went on to win the match the official status of a win would be up for debate And the imaginary WWE rulebook would have to surface They have a Rulebook, bro. It's really imaginary. It's not fucking a real thing once again. You can attack someone On the way to being in the match and then you get replaced you please take their spot Or if someone is just injured they can't even get in the match. Hey, I'll take her spot You know what go ahead take her spot What there's no fucking rules, bro Oh my god, man, that's that's hilarious, man. Comment down below.
