2017 Royal Rumble is Coming To....

[Silkk]

Multiple sources since this morning have confirmed that the 2017 Royal Rumble will be held in San Antonio.

It would mark the 20th anniversary of the biggest Royal Rumble live event in history, the 1997 version that was held in San Antonio at the Alamodome, and drew 60,525 fans, with 48,014 paid, built around Shawn Michaels vs. Sycho Sid, with Michaels regaining the WWF title in his home city.

The announcement is expected to take place this coming week.

Steve Austin won that Royal Rumble, which had a heavy influence of AAA and Mexican talent, including legends like Mil Mascaras, Canek, Perro Aguayo, Perro Aguayo Jr., Latin Lover, Hector Garza, Pierroth, Fuerza Guerrera, Blue Demon Jr. and Octagon appearing on the show.

The 2017 Royal Rumble will be a combined-brand PPV, so presumably 15 of the wrestlers will be from Raw and 15 will be from Smackdown and the winner will challenge for his brand's title at this year's WrestleMania.

Now we won't have the risk of some stupid TV celebrity getting involved in an angle

'07 Rumble with Taker/HBK at the end was dope

Pretty sure it's a lock with Balor returning and winning.
or if not then maybe Bray can get his break.

Shawn Michaels appearance is a lock
Finn Balor winning was a lock the moment he was announced to be out for 4-6 months

Now that we have two titles Booman or HHH don't have to win, since they can have the Rumble winner's title match at WM before the actual main event
