WWE Universe, Heels, and Baby-faces alike gather round and listen to a tale of bravery and perseverance. Yes, the Royal Rumble is back with… count em… 2, 30 man/woman matches. What better way to celebrate than to completely obliterate your liver on a Sunday night. The Royal Rumble drinking game takes many forms and suggestions but the game I will soon explain is the granddaddy of them all. For those of you feeling nostalgic, here is last year’s game which I have tweaked slightly.

The Rumble

The Royal Rumble is a match starting with 2 men in the ring and adding another about every 90 seconds or so. A wrestler is only eliminated by being thrown over the top rope and both feet hitting the ground. This year there is the inaugural Women’s Royal Rumble so feel free to adequately adjust my pronouns. The match is complete when there is only one contestant remaining. Are you with me so far?

The Game (Ideally 5 or 6 players)

So here is where the extra fun comes into play. All you need is a 30-rack of beer and a marker. Begin by turning all of the cans upside down and labeling them 1 through 30. Turn them right side up and shuffle them. Each contestant will then choose their beers so that everyone has the same amount. The number at the bottom of your beers will correspond with the wrestler that enters in that order. For example, Seth Rollins enters at number 6 he belongs to the player holding the beer with the number 6 at the bottom. Once Seth is eliminated the player holding his number must drink the entire beer. Repeat until there is only one beer left and the winner may hand that out to any of the other players. The fun is in the randomness on both the can and wrestler end. You may find yourself cheering on someone like Jason Jordan simply because he is one of your assigned beers or rooting against one of your all-time favorites.

New Rule

If a player enters the ring with the word “Big” in their name that beer must be substituted with a tall boy. Sorry Big Cass and Big Show Fans

Drink Up!
