WWF Royal Rumble is a professional wrestling video game released in 2000 for arcades and the Dreamcast. THQ published the title for the Dreamcast while Sega released it for arcades. It is based on the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) professional wrestling promotion and its yearly Royal Rumble event. This game took its influence from the event's 2000 edition.[2] Yuke's, creators of the WWF SmackDown! series, developed Royal Rumble, which had several unique features including support for up to nine wrestlers on the screen simultaneously.[3]

The Dreamcast version was released to mixed reviews that faulted its small roster and lack of gameplay modes.
