THE HISTORY OF THE NUMBER ONE CONTENDER BATTLE ROYAL(Part 5 in the series of title histories; beginning in 1991, every other year, following Wrestlemania, WWF has kicked off its new cycle with a 30 man battle royal. A battle royal was held in 1996, and the event is now in even numbered years. In 2004, the battle royal was held after Summer Slam, as will be the case in 2006. In an ideal Counterfactual, this event would be called the Royal Rumble – and the Royal Rumble event would be called Justice Sunday. However, to avoid confusion, we do it like this.)
