7 Things You Should Know About WWE Royal Rumble 1993

The 1993 Royal Rumble was a bit of a transitional event for WWE. The roster was very different from a year earlier because some of those guys were on short term deals while others were gone because WWE had to clean house due to the steroid investigation trial they were involved in. It was a year where Bret Hart walked into the show as the WWE Champion. A year earlier he was in the IC Title picture. He won the WWE Title for the first time in September 1992 and the company was ready to build around him as the new WWE Champion. Yokozuna went into the Royal Rumble match as a heavy favourite. He only debuted in WWE a few months earlier and had one PPV match before the Rumble. Just based on his size, people just knew he was going to be a big deal in WWE. This was a show full of old rivalries renewed, new stars debuting although we knew some of them from WCW and even an older former WWE Champion like Bob Backlund having a good showing after making a comeback.
