WWE officially announced their annual Royal Rumble event today. As seen below it will be a 30 man Battle Royal to determine the next no 1 contender for WWE Championship:
To the victor go the spoils.
Thirty Superstars will enter theRoyal Rumble Match on Sunday, Jan. 24, to fight for the opportunityof a lifetime: a guaranteed WWE World Heavyweight Championship Match in the main event of WrestleMania.
Perhaps the single most anticipated bout of the year, the Royal Rumble Match is utterly unique forits scale, rules and major stakes. Prior to the match, all 30 competitors draw their entry number randomly.
The Superstars who draw Nos. 1 and 2 begin the bout, and a new Superstar joins the fray every 90 seconds until all 30 Superstars have entered the ring. The only way to be eliminated is to be thrown over the top rope and to the outside, with both feet touching the floor. The last man standing will not only be the 2016 Royal Rumble Match winner, but also the No. 1 Contender to the WWE World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania. Who will make history in the 2016 edition of WWE's over-the-top-rope melee?

WWE Superstar Injured?
WWE Superstar Darren Young noted on twitter before that he visited hospital after Raw. Apparently he has suffered a Quad injury. He tweeted the following:
W/ injuries your approach to the game changes only 4 the better. Quad size will come back. #work @ACLrecovery CLUB

He also tagged @ACLrecoveryCLUB in his tweet. Apparently he will join it for recovery. It's the same club he joined last year when he was out of action with a torn ACL.
