The Road to WrestleMania in WWE is one of the most anticipated times of the year, and it is just near the corner. The road officially kicks off with the Royal Rumble. The Royal Rumble winner gets a guaranteed World Title match at WrestleMania.
However, previously it was a main-event match at WrestleMania, but sometimes such has not been the case. Often superstars have been involved in World Title matches, which have not been the main event of the PPV. The Road to WrestleMania consists of the Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, and Fastlane.

The first PPV of the journey is Royal Rumble. The PPV takes place every year in the month of January. The event consists of two Royal Rumble matches for both men and women, where 30 Superstars come out and compete against each other.
The matches tend to be extremely exciting due to their surprising nature and many current and former WWE superstars returning at the event, Brock Lesnar won the 2022 Royal Rumble match and faced Roman Reigns at WrestleMania.
Recently, during a boxing match between Montana Love and Steve Spark, Love got disqualified after throwing Spark over the top rope. Soon after this incident, Twitter went crazy and started reacting to it. Sports Editor Andreas Hale took to Twitter to share the clip and took reference to WWE Royal Rumble.
Montana Love wins the Royal Rumble!
Oh? It’s not wrestling? Lol.
Montana Love loses because you can’t throw your opponent over the top rope.
Who knew?

The moment was indeed hilarious, and somewhat confusing for new boxing fans. In boxing, throwing your opponent over the top rope leads to disqualification. And, thus, Love lost the match, instead of winning, like what happens in a Royal Rumble match.

Guess it’s the reverse of old wrestling rule. Couldn’t happen to a guy with a better wrestling name. 😂 Triple H needs to sign this man.

But apparently, still a poor decision by the ref. This is as you say, boxing, not wrestling.

Although in boxing the fighter gets disqualified after throwing their opponent over the top rope, in Royal Rumble something opposite happens.
