2023 ROYAL RUMBLE PREVIEW

As I do every month, it’s time to look at this weekend’s Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View and see the history of all of the participants, as well as stats for 2023. If anyone wrestles multiple times, it would be at least the 57^th time that someone wrestled multiple times at the Royal Rumble & the 14^th year in row, with the last time someone did not wrestle multiple times being in 2009. To see the entire 35-year history of the Royal Rumble as well as the Royal Rumble Stats for anyone not announced, visit the Rumble History Page HERE & for the History of the actual Royal Rumble Match, go HERE. And for any feedback or comments about this, comment below or tweet me (@hbkid718). Thanks.

This will be the 4^th Royal Rumble event to take place on a Saturday after 1991, 1994, & 2022, & 1^st time 2 years in a row.

If they don’t have one, it will be the 2^nd year in a row that there won’t be a Kickoff Match & the 1^st PPV of 2023 to not have one.

The last Singles Match to main event the Royal Rumble PPV was The Rock VS CM Punk for the WWE Championship in 2013.

UNDISPUTED WWE UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: KEVIN OWENS VS UNDISPUTED WWE UNIVERSAL CHAMPION ROMAN REIGNS

Kevin Owens VS Roman Reigns will be the 1^st Undisputed WWE Universal Championship Match of 2023, the 52^nd WWE, World, or Universal Championship Match at the Royal Rumble, & 33^rd in a row. It will be the 1^st time since 2020 that there will be only 1 WWE or Universal Championship Match at the Royal Rumble. This will be Kevin Owens’ 8^th Royal Rumble PPV & 3^rd in a row. It will be his 4^th WWE or Universal Championship Match & 1^st since 2021. If he also wrestles in the Royal Rumble, it will be the 1^st time since 2016 that he wrestled multiple times at the Royal Rumble & would be his 4^th Royal Rumble Match & 2^nd in a row. In his 3 Appearances, he lasted 22 minutes & 38 seconds & eliminated 2 wrestlers. If he wins, he will be the 6^th 2-time Universal Champion & 2^nd in a row, the 1^st 1^st-time WWE Champion since Big E, the 5^th to be WWE & Universal Champion, & the 2^nd to also be an NXT Champion after Seth Rollins. This will be Roman Reigns’ 11^th Royal Rumble PPV & 3^rd in a row. It will be his 5^th WWE or Universal Championship Match at the Royal Rumble & 3^rd in a row, making him the 1^st wrestler in Royal Rumble History to defend a WWE or Universal Championship 3 Royal Rumble PPVs in a row. This will be Roman Reigns’ 5^th WWE Championship Defense, so if he loses, he will be the 1^st since Big E who lost to Brock Lesnar in a Fatal 5-Way Match at Day 1 on January 1, 2022 to lose in his 5^th Defense. As of the Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns’ WWE Championship Reign lasted 299 Days, so if he loses, he will be the 1^st to lose in 299 Days, which is the 12^th Longest of All-Time. This was Roman Reigns’ 26^th Universal Championship Defense, which is the most Defenses in History. As of the Royal Rumble, Roman Reigns’ Universal Championship Reign lasted 881 Days, which was the longest Reign of All-Time. This will be the 13^th 1-on-1 Match between them after Smackdown on October 29, 2015 (won by Reigns by CO), Raw on September 12, 2016 (won by Owens), a Steel Cage Match on Raw on September 19, 2016 (won by Reigns), Raw on November 28, 2016 (won by Reigns), Roadblock on December 18, 2016 (won by Owens by DQ), Raw on December 26, 2016 (won by Reigns), a No Disqualification Match at the Royal Rumble on January 29, 2017 (won by Owens), Raw on May 21, 2018 (won by Reigns by DQ), Smackdown on July 23, 2019 (won by Owens by DQ), a TLC Match at TLC on December 20, 2020 (won by Reigns), a Steel Cage Match on December 22, 2020 (won by Reigns), & a Last Man Standing Match at the Royal Rumble on January 31, 2021 (won by Reigns). So in their 12 previous matches, Reigns won 8 matches & Owens won 4 matches. This will be the 3^rd time they will be wrestling each other at the Royal Rumble, making it the 1^st match to take place 3 times at the Royal Rumble. This will be the 1^st time they are wrestling in a Non-Gimmick Match since Smackdown on July 23, 2019. The WWE Championship has never changed hands in 2023, with the last title change taking place at WrestleMania 38 on April 3, 2022, when Roman Reigns defeated Brock Lesnar. It has changed hands 145 times in WWE History. It has changed hands 10 times at the Royal Rumble, with the last title change taking place in 2022, when Bobby Lashley defeated Brock Lesnar, so if it changes hands, it would be the 1^st time since 2016 & 2017 that it changed hands 2 years in a row. The Universal Championship has never changed hands in 2023, with the last title change taking place at Payback on August 30, 2020, when Roman Reigns defeated Braun Strowman & Bray Wyatt in a Triple Threat Match.
