The event will mark WWE\u2019s debut at Minute Maid Park and the second time the Royal Rumble has been held at a baseball stadium following this year\u2019s event at Chase Field in Phoenix which took place in front of a capacity crowd of 48,193.<\/p>\n<p>Fans attending this Sunday\u2019s Elimination Chamber event at the Toyota Center in Houston will receive an exclusive pre-sale offer to buy tickets to the Royal Rumble before the general public. Details on ticket availability will be forthcoming. Additionally, fans in attendance will have the chance to win four tickets to the 2020 Royal Rumble by taking part in a special Twitter and Instagram sweepstakes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to bring one of WWE\u2019s biggest events of 2020 to Minute Maid Park,\u201d said Janis Burke, CEO of the Harris County &#8211; Houston Sports Authority. \u201cWe look forward to WWE fans from around the world descending on Houston for the Royal Rumble.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The event, which will stream live around the world on WWE Network, will feature a 30-Man Royal Rumble match, and a 30-Woman Royal Rumble match, with the winners of both matches receiving Championship opportunities at WrestleMania 36.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> It appears as though January&#8217;s event was not an aberration in that the Royal Rumble event has moved from arenas to stadiums. It&#8217;s arguably WWE&#8217;s second biggest annual event and thus it&#8217;s a logical move by the company.<\/p>\n<p><i>Check below for the new Pro Wrestling Boom with Jason Powell and guest Mick Karch discussing the AWA Appreciation event on February 23, Paul Heyman&#8217;s role in helping Mick land a longtime hosting position, his friendship with Nick Bockwinkel, Billy Robinson slapping a fan on live television, and much more.<\/i><\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-2148623116\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1199,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[147,101,991],"class_list":["post-52097","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsticker","category-wwe_news","tag-royal-rumble","tag-wwe","tag-wwe-royal-rumble"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
