Adam Pearce explains the Royal Rumble qualifying rule Submitted by Aaron T-Bar Rift on 01/20/2021 at 02:33 PM
WWE official Adam Pearce commented on why some WWE stars are allowed to "declare" themselves for the Royal Rumble match while others have to qualify:
It’s actually pretty simple: Those that have been granted the ability to simply declare entry into the Royal Rumble *by management* are free to do so. Those that haven’t must qualify. I don’t write the rules, I enforce them. 🤷♂️
