Like organize who throws who out? and at what point they throw them out? Who's gonna attack who when they enter? More so the timing of it all. Seems like chaos until the end.

Bruce Prichard outlined it 100% on one of the podcast like 2 months ago.

They start with the finish, decide specific issues or conflicts to address, the stagger surprises, and work the entire order and when people go out. Like "road Dogg goes out at 6, and you get eliminated after triple H comes out" etc. The specific who attacks who is only outlined if there are rivalries to be outlined in the match. It's fully outlined though.

So what about surprise returns? Like when Cena came back in 2008? From what I know, none of the wrestlers knew he was going to be there. Do they just tell them someone's coming at #30 and leave it at that?

Sometimes it's misdirection instead of cena they may say "big show is last out" and by show might not even come out

The visual of Pat Patterson creating the Royal Rumble and then explaining to Vince and booking and then laying out the match for the talent each year is :mjlol:

"Aye and then the big guy Big Daddy Cool he'a gonna come in and bam, fukk you, fukk you fukk you"

:dead:

As far as during the match, ringside refs and wrestlers are constantly communicating back and forth. Watch a recent rumble match and look at the guys laying on the mat, especially underneath or near the turnbuckles. Typically, you catch them getting directions from a ref while the ref is receiving directions from backstage through his earpiece.
