WWE Royal Rumble 2023 takes place on Saturday, Jan. 28, different from the company&#8217;s usual Sunday schedule.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Thus far we know five matches that&#8217;ll take place on the show. First, there are the two Royal Rumble matches themselves: one for the men, one for the women. It&#8217;s anyone&#8217;s guess as to who will win these bouts and punch their ticket to a title match at WrestleMania. On the men&#8217;s side, possibilities range from Cody Rhodes to Dwayne &#8220;The Rock&#8221; Johnson, who&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fightful.com\/wrestling\/report-rock-appearing-royal-rumble-has-been-talked-about\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-component=\"externalLink\">long been rumored<\/a> to be wrestling Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Reigns, he&#8217;ll be defending his WWE Universal Championship titles against Kevin Owens &#8212; a reprise from their match at the <span section=\"shortcodeLink\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnet.com\/culture\/entertainment\/wwe-royal-rumble-2021-results-edge-wins-analysis-and-full-recap\/\">2021 Royal Rumble<\/a><\/span>, when Reigns&#8217; title run was in its infancy. It&#8217;s crazy to think that Reigns has held the Universal Championship for <em>well<\/em> over two years &#8212; and even crazier to think that Owens has a chance of ending that run at the Royal Rumble. But as telegraphed as the winner is, it should be a fun match.<\/p>\n<p>More fun, for sure, than Bray Wyatt&#8217;s return bout, against LA Knight. People clamored for Wyatt to return to the company, but we&#8217;ll see how long that excitement lasts considering the goofy storylines his mystical character engenders. Wyatt and Knight will clash in a &#8220;lights out&#8221; match at the Rumble. Your guess is as good as mine.<\/p>\n<h2>Match card<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns (c) vs. Kevin Owens.<\/li>\n<li>30-man Royal Rumble match.<\/li>\n<li>30-woman Royal Rumble match.<\/li>\n<li>Lights Out match: Bray Wyatt vs. LA Knight.<\/li>\n<li>WWE Raw Women&#8217;s Championship: Bianca Belair (c) vs. Alexa Bliss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Start times<\/h2>\n<p>Royal Rumble 2023 takes place at San Antonio, Texas&#8217; Alamodome on Jan. 28. For those without a live ticket, it starts at\u00a0<strong>5<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>p.m. PT\/8 p.m ET<\/strong>. Grappling fans across the pond will have to stay up late, as the show starts at\u00a0<strong>1 a.m. UK time<\/strong>. In Australia, the Royal Rumble begins at\u00a0<strong>midday AEDT on Sunday.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>How to watch: Peacock, WWE Network, Binge<\/h2>\n<p>As you probably know by now, Peacock is the new home of WWE&#8217;s pay-per-views. The WWE Network has in essence\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/how-to\/wrestlemania-on-peacock-what-to-know-about-switching-from-wwe-network\/\">migrated to NBC&#8217;s Peacock streaming service<\/a>\u00a0and that&#8217;s where you&#8217;ll go to watch Royal Rumble 2023. Peacock has three tiers: Free, Premium and Premium Plus. To watch WWE content, you&#8217;ll need a Premium subscription. The good news is that&#8217;ll set you back $5 a month, less than the $10 for WWE Network.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Just like the WWE Network has been absorbed by Peacock in the US, it&#8217;s migrated to Foxtel&#8217;s Binge streaming service in Australia. WWE&#8217;s deal with Binge went into effect earlier this month, so Binge is where Australians should seek the Rumble, though the WWE Network is still operational for now.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re in the UK, you&#8217;ll watch Royal Rumble 2023 on the WWE Network as usual.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/culture\/entertainment\/wwe-royal-rumble-2023-how-to-watch-start-times-match-card-and-peacock\/#ftag=CAD590a51e\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Daniel Van Boom<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With all the drama surrounding Vince McMahon&#8217;s tumultuous, real-life return to WWE, it&#8217;s surprisingly easy to forget that the company&#8217;s second biggest pay-per-view event is around the corner.
