Joey Styles posted the following on his Twitter today: "This year, there will be 40 participants in the Royal Rumble Match instead of 30. It will be the biggest Royal Rumble Match in history!"

As noted earlier, the WWE has changed this year's Rumble match to include 40 participants. They noted on their website that, "an unprecedented 40 Superstars will have the ultimate opportunity to realize their dream of performing in the World Championship main event match on this now aggrandized stage for the most brilliant competitors."

Source: WWE
WWE announced today on their Facebook and on their website that this year's Royal Rumble has been expanded to include 40 participants, the most ever.

The very first Royal Rumble on January 24, 1988, won by "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, had only 20 participants. Since then the Rumble has always had 30 competitors.

UPDATE: WWE has confirmed that the wrestlers will enter every 90 seconds



Erm so its like really Impossible to win from number 1 or 2

Hope this won't be the biggest Royal Rumble ever.
I hope to see a great show, considering that Royal Rumble is the biggest PPV (obviously after Mania).
And if someone will spoil the final winner, I will go to Canada and praying CM Storm to destroy the IP of that guy :D

This sounds pretty cool, but it wont be the biggest ever. In my opinion that was the 1992 Rumble... the lineup was amazing.

This is insane. It worries me a bit also. This will be a defining Royal Rumble. The winner of the first ever 40 man Royal Rumble. Whoever wins this, it will surely be made a bigger deal then any of the 30 man RR winners. They can choose to sky rocket a younger talent who hasn't won a Rumble yet, or give this away to an already established name (Cena, Orton, HHH, Jericho).

All due respect, this is the perfect time to cement CM Punk as RAWs leading heel. The true psychotic, manipulative, genius character that he is should manage to do this with the Nexus behind him. I hope to God he wins. (How great would it be if he entered at number 40? I'd die. :P

I also hope this doesn't become a yearly trend. 40 really is just too many people.

Once an asshole..always an asshole.

I think they have decided the winner and i think the one who is winning needs to be elevated more. Maybe that's why they are having 40 man rumble.
And of course we will see big returns : HHH , Bourne.
Hope to see Jericho.
And i think there will be two women:
Beth and Kong.
And Kong will eliminate Beth so they can feud over SD.

All due respect, this is the perfect time to cement Wade Barrett as Smackdown's leading heel. The true psychotic, manipulative, genius character that he is should manage to do this with the two members of Nexus that left behind him. I hope to God he wins. (How great would it be if he entered at number 40? I'd die. :P

Fixed. :P

I think neither John Cena or CM Punk will win the royal rumble
I think young guy will win or some returning superstar
