The 2015 Royal Rumble was a professional wrestling event produced by WWE. It was the 28th annual Royal Rumble and took place on January 25, 2015, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, marking the second Royal Rumble held at this venue after the 2004 event, when it was formerly known as Wachovia Center; the arena changed its name to Wells Fargo Center in 2010. The event aired via pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming, which made it the first Royal Rumble to livestream on the WWE Network, which launched in February 2014. As has been customary since 1993, the Royal Rumble match winner received a world championship match at that year's WrestleMania. For the 2015 event, the winner received a match for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 31.
