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.

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.

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.
