The Royal Rumble:

Have both RAW and Smackdown Live have 10 Rumble spots up for grabs in qualifying matches. This also goes for both the men and women Royal Rumble matches. These qualifiers can be in single or tag team matches. The preference of those matches are at the discretion of the respective General Manager or Commissioner of that brand.

Examples:

RAW (Men Royal Rumble Qualifiers):

1. Bobby Lashley vs Curt Hawkins: Story is Bobby Lashley is trying to qualify for the Royal Rumble for the first time since the 2006 Rumble while Curt Hawkins wants to stop his losing streak which stands at 250 losses with no wins since 2016.
2. Finn Balor vs Mojo Rawley: Story is that last year Finn Balor was one of the last 4 men in the 2018 Rumble match, he wants to win it all this year.
3. Kevin Owens vs John Cena: This would be the main event one of the RAW shows on the road to the Royal Rumble. John Cena’s road to redemption to break Ric Flair’s all-time record of 16 World Title reigns start with getting to the Rumble. Kevin Owens vows to qualify to win the Rumble at all costs or else he will retire.
4. Bray Wyatt vs Dolph Ziggler: Story is that both these former world champions have never had a strong chance of winning the Rumble and both would do anything to get to the main event of Wrestlemania.
5. Drew McIntyre vs Zack Ryder: Both these former Intercontinental Champions have barely scratched the surface in their illustrious careers. Can either man make the jump to the next level?
6. Elias & Baron Corbin vs Heath Slater & Rhyno: Both the Drifter and the Constable want to pave an easy path to the Rumble, but is it wise by overlooking the former Smackdown Tag Team Champions?
7. Jinder Mahal vs Chad Gable: The former WWE Champion never had a shot to main event Wrestlemania but he going against a man he’s lost before in Chad Gable. Can the former Olympian punch his ticket to the Rumble?
8. Dean Ambrose vs Bobby Roode: Both these former United States Champions will do whatever it takes to win the Rumble at all costs.
9. Seth Rollins Open Challenge: Seth Rollins can qualify for a spot at the Rumble but only if he puts his championship on the line. This open challenge is for anybody who hasn’t qualified for the Royal Rumble.

The Elimination Chamber:

Qualifiers will be determined on which men and women will be squaring off in the Elimination Chamber. 6 spots will be up for grabs and the brand that didn’t have their respective superstar win the Royal Rumble will be hosting that Chamber. For example, if the Men’s Royal Rumble would have a RAW Superstar winning it, then Smackdown would be hosting the Elimination Chamber to determine who would face their champion at Wrestlemania. The same logic could also be said for the Women’s Elimination Chamber as well.

Example:

RAW (Men Elimination Chamber Qualifiers)

1. Kevin Owens vs Dean Ambrose
2. Finn Balor vs Dolph Ziggler
3. Bobby Lashley vs Jinder Mahal
4. John Cena vs Drew McIntyre
5. Bobby Roode vs Bray Wyatt
6. Last Chance Fatal Five Way Match (Involves all four participants who lost their respective matches) 

After these qualifiers are set, there would be two triple threat matches and the winners of those two matches will face off in the main event of the last RAW before the Elimination Chamber to determine who will be coming out last in the Elimination Chamber.

Smackdown (Women Elimination Chamber Qualifiers)

1. Asuka vs Peyton Royce
2. Carmella vs Lana
3. Becky Lynch vs Zelina Vega
4. Naomi vs Mandy Rose
5. Tamina vs Sonya Deville
6. Last Chance Fatal Five Way Match

After these qualifiers are set, there would be two triple threat matches and the winners of those two matches will face off in the main event of the last Smackdown before the Elimination Chamber to determine who will be coming out last in the Elimination Chamber.

Backlash (Tag Team Tournament)

After Wrestlemania concludes, there will be a Tag Team Tournament on both brands to determine who will face off with the brand’s respective champions at Backlash.
