With just days until the 2018 Royal Rumble, we’ve got confirmation on the location of next year’s Rumble.
Chase Field in Phoenix, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks Major League Baseball team, will host next year’s Royal Rumble on Sunday, January 27th. The retractable-roof Stadium holds approximately 48,500 for baseball games.
John Saboor, WWE’s Executive Vice President of Special Events, told AZ Central, “We have an incredibly rich history and heritage of presenting WWE events in the Valley of the Sun. In many respects, this serves as an exciting opportunity to work with longstanding and new partners in Phoenix to create four nights of memories.”
The other WWE events during Royal Rumble 2019 weekend, such as NXT Takeover, RAW and SmackDown Live, will take place from the nearby Talking Stick Resort Arena:
- Saturday, Jan. 26: NXT TakeOver at Talking Stick Resort Arena
- Sunday, Jan. 27: Royal Rumble at Chase Field
- Monday, Jan. 28: Monday Night Raw at Talking Stick Resort Arena
- Tuesday, Jan. 29: SmackDown Live at Talking Stick Resort Arena
WWE held last year’s Rumble from the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. The show had an (announced) attendance of 52,020.
