WWE Royal Rumble Officially Set for St. Louis, Could Be Biggest Ever

WWE has announced that the Royal Rumble will take place on January 29th, 2022 at The Dome At America's Center in St. Louis, the seating capacity of which will make it potentially the biggest Royal Rumble of all time if it sells out, which it seems certain to do unless certain situations (like the coronavirus pandemic) change drastically.

Holding the Royal Rumble in St. Louis is a blow against AEW, who originally planned to hold Full Gear in the city in November, but due to a UFC PPV scheduled for the same weekend, instead moved it to Minneapolis a week later, on November 13th. Now disgruntled St. Louis AEW fans will be comforted by the loving embrace of WWE. Fans interested in attending the Royal Rumble can register for a presale here: https://www.wwe.com/rumble2022.
