Battle Royale 2016 will be the 4th annual Battle Royale event. It is to be held at the Termina arena with an attendance of over 7,000 planned. The event will be held on January 22nd 2017.

Background
The Battle Royale (Royal Rumble) is held every January at the Battle Royale event. Multiple characters have claimed their victory this year including Uub, Jorian, Evan, Goku and Sora.

In July 2016 at the Brawl event, Android 17 cashed in his Money in the Bank contract on the then WMAZ champion, Naruto. Later on, Dr. Gero would win control of the WMAZ and the Red Ribbon faction would take control of the company. In December 2016, 17 would try to distance himself from Dr. Gero out of fear that he looked weaker by working with the CEO of the company and began left the group. After nearly loosing to Zamasu on the December 19th episode of Raw, Mikey criticized him and said that without the Red Ribbon, he's nothing. Later that, during Mikey's match with Gohan, he was attacked by 17. The next week, Mikey asked him for a match at the Battle Royale which he declined until 2 weeks later where he accepted after being called a weakling by Dr. Gero.

On December 26th 2016, PBG was out giving a "Thank you message" to open the show when he was attacked by Shadow. Shadow was angered by the fact that someone as weak as PBG was the champion and said that it needed a better model for the champion. Shadow would go and start attacking PBG over the weeks until Dr. Gero made a match for the two at Battle Royale.

Erdrick and Cloud had been going at it since Money in the Bank 2016 when Edrick won the contract.
