The Royal Rumble is full of more twists and turns than a rollercoaster designed by a toddler on a Spirograph. There’s only one way to start the Road To WrestleMania and that’s with an over-the-top-rope elimination match, which this year (for the second time in history) is for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
Of course, just because the overarching storyline has changed, that doesn’t mean we won’t see the in-ring action that has become customary at this time of year.

It seems the Royal Rumble-style list of characters lining up to sprint their way towards Mk X’s April release date is being handled expertly by developers NetherRealm so far.
A press release here, a live stream there – maybe an occasional glimpse of someone new in amongst a new trailer anywhere else – creator Ed Boon knows what the fans want, and is giving it to them on a whole variety of silver platters. Years ago after Deadly Alliance there were talks of major shakeups to the roster being implemented going forward, as understandably although Mk harbours some of gaming’s biggest icons, when you’re trying to continuously do new things with characters initially designed with less pixels than a Minecraft character model, it’s hard to update them accordingly.
So, following an initially very strong fan backlash the team bided their time, and now with Mk X...
