Divas Champion Charlotte will meet Becky Lynch, Alberto Del Rio will put the United States Title on the line against Kalisto, and Tag Team Champions The New Day will fight The Usos.

Charlotte beat friend-turned-enemy Lynch on a recent episode of Smackdown to retain her title thanks to an assist from her father, WWE Hall of Famer, Ric Flair, but Lynch has since goaded Flair into accepting a rematch.

Del Rio, meanwhile, lost and regained the United States Championship in the space of a week following matches against Kalisto, shipping the strap to the masked wrestler on Raw before claiming it back on Smackdown after help from King Barrett.

New Day competitors Big E and Kofi Kingston retained the WWE Tag Team Titles at TLC in December during a pulsating Ladder Match versus Kalisto and Sin Cara, and The Usos.

Kalisto's singles pursuits and an injury to Sin Cara have put the Lucha Dragons' tag-team challenge on hold but Jimmy and Jey Uso have continued to target The New Day and will be aiming to win the twin belts for a third time at the Rumble.

The Divas, United States and Tag Team Championship bouts have been added to card that already features a Last Man Standing Match for the Intercontinental Title between Dean Ambrose and Kevin Owens, and the Royal Rumble Match itself.

WWE World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns must defend his strap against 29 other men in Sunday's showpiece match, with The Big Dog's hopes of success dented on Raw after he was announced as the No1 entrant.

You can watch the 2016 Royal Rumble pay-per-view live on Sky Sports Box Office from 1am on Sunday, January 24 (Monday morning). We will also be running a live blog of the event on skysports.com/wwe.
