Because of interference from Ric Flair and Paul Bearer in the Title bout between Hulk Hogan and The Undertaker at Survivor Series (1991), then-acting WWF President Jack Tunney declared the title vacant the next night and put it up for grabs at the Royal Rumble (1992).
First WWF PPV appearance for Barry Darsow since WrestleMania VII earlier in the year, and his first one as The Repo Man.
Jake Roberts said in an interview that Elizabeth's family members were very upset with Randy Savage for allowing her to be put in harm's way, after she was slapped by Jake.
Randy Savage returned to full time wrestling since WrestleMania VII (1991) at this event against Jake Roberts, although he had wrestled at house shows (as the masked character Mr. Madness) and in Japan during this time.
The lines, "Cold as razor blade, tight as a tourniquet, like the skin on a dying man" in Jake Roberts' promo are taken from the Pink Floyd song "One of My Turns."
