There's some good news for WWE about the upcoming Royal Rumble.
January's annual PPV is returning to San Antonio for the show at the Alamodome, where they were met with incredible success in 2017 for the show. The current gross revenue and ticket sale record for the Royal Rumble was that event, which is tracking to be beaten by the 2023 edition.
WWE sources confirmed that over 25,000 tickets have been sold, a new record for the event as far as paid tickets and gross revenue for a first on-sale weekend for the show.
Thus far, the entire venue hasn't been opened up, but additional sources that we followed up on said that more areas could eventually become available. WWE sources that we heard from were very excited about the performance of the show.
