History will be made on Sunday night with the first women's Royal Rumble match - and you can see it live on Sky Sports Box Office.

Thirty female competitors will battle it out for the chance to take on Raw women's champion Alexa Bliss or SmackDown title holder Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania.

Stephanie McMahon, who confirmed the match on a memorable episode of Raw at the end of last year, will be on special guest commentary for the historic event, which gets underway at midnight on Sunday night.

The men's division will also be competing for a Mania title shot and Roman Reigns will be looking to immediately return to the championship picture after losing his Intercontinental title to The Miz on Raw earlier this week.

Shinsuke Nakamura will also be competing and will see the Rumble as his opportunity to secure what would be a dream match against AJ Styles, but will face strong competition from wrestlers such as the highly experienced John Cena and the resurgent Finn Balor.

The prestigious WWE Universal title will also be on the line at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia as Brock Lesnar defends his championship in a triple threat against Braun Strowman and Kane.

It is Lesnar's first title defence since he beat Strowman at No Mercy in September and his first competitive action since a champion-against-champion victory over AJ Styles at Survivor Series.

If the latter are victorious, they will become rare co-champions but Owens appeared to suffer an injury on SmackDown this week, which could benefit the Phenomenal champ.

Both brands' tag titles will be on the line, with the somewhat reluctant partnership of Seth Rollins and Jason Jordan defending the Raw championship against The Bar and The Usos putting the blue straps on the line against Chad Gable and Shelton Benjamin.
