ACW Royale Rumble

Royale Rumble is an annual CPV event from Anime Championship Wrestling. It is the first CPV of the year (depending on the CPV cycle.) Also, it is the CPV that begins the road to Animania, ACW's biggest event of the year.

The name is a play on of the WWE's Royal Rumble. Each year, the main event is a classic Royal Rumble match. Plus, all of the World Titles (Excel, Impulse, and Turbo) are defended in the CPV.

Royale Rumble is one of the "Big Four" events along with Animania, Fusion, and Anime Revolution.
