In addition to the Royal Rumble match itself, three title matches are scheduled to take place at the pay-per-view. Those matches are Umaga vs. John Cena, Mr. Kennedy vs. Batista and Test vs. Bobby Lashley. Rob Van Dam may be added to the ECW title match to make it a three way match. The Royal Rumble match itself is seen as the big draw and the show is a chance for the champ(s) to get a convincing win on the way to WrestleMania which is why you get the likes of Mark Henry, Bob Holly and now Test getting title shots.
