WWE claims 2017 Royal Rumble will not be in Los Angeles
WWE officials have contacted us to say that the stories that the 2017 Royal Rumble will be at the Staples Center in Los Angeles are incorrect.
The story came from the house show last night and reports regarding ticket sale dates and codes, although those codes were not announced to the crowd. Strangely, there were ticket codes allegedly for the 2017 Royal Rumble that popped up online following the alleged announcement. We had several correspondents who claimed the announcement was made to the live crowd.
The company has said that an announcement will be forthcoming soon regarding the location of next year’s Royal Rumble.
