WWE to break Royal Rumble record with next year’s event

WWE is slated to hold the 2023 Royal Rumble event in San Antonio, Texas, at the Alamodome on January 28th.

The show has some buzz already as it will be the first Rumble under the Triple H regime, following Triple H taking over creative in July.

During the third quarter earnings call, WWE co-CEO Nick Khan noted that the show currently has a gross gate exceeding $4.6 million. 

While speaking on today’s Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted the show has already secured the second biggest advance in Royal Rumble history, and it’s tracking to be the biggest in the history of the show. 

“The Rumble’s got a $4.6 million advance, which is the second biggest… it’s the biggest advance at this stage for the Rumble in history. It’s the second biggest of all time for a Rumble, and they’ve still got another three months to sell tickets, November, December, and January. So it’ll be the biggest ever.” 

WWE’s next premium live event, Crown Jewel, takes place this Saturday, with the main event of Roman Reigns defending his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship against Logan Paul.
