Royal Rumble 1991 took place on January 19, 1991, at the Miami Arena in Miami, Florida, and featured a night of high-stakes action with a patriotic theme due to the ongoing Gulf War.

The main event was the 30-man Royal Rumble match, where Hulk Hogan won for the second consecutive year, eliminating Earthquake to claim victory. This cemented Hogan's dominance and set the stage for his WrestleMania VII showdown against Sgt. Slaughter.

One of the most significant moments of the event was Sgt. Slaughter defeating The Ultimate Warrior for the WWF Championship, thanks to interference from Sensational Sherri and "Macho King" Randy Savage. This shocking title change made Slaughter, an Iraqi sympathizer character at the time, the most hated villain in wrestling.

Other highlights included The Rockers (Shawn Michaels & Marty Jannetty) vs. The Orient Express in a fast-paced tag team classic, and The Big Boss Man vs. The Barbarian, showcasing Boss Man’s power and agility.

Royal Rumble 1991 is remembered for its intense rivalries, shocking title change, and Hogan’s continued dominance, making it one of the most historically significant Rumbles of the early '90s.
