The road to WWE WrestleMania 40 is about to open. WWE Royal Rumble marks the first event that truly gives the Showcase of the Immortals its shape, as the winners of the men’s and women’s titular battle royals cement themselves as championship challengers come April. WWE has supersized WWE Royal Rumble in recent years, holding it at larger venues, and 2024’s edition is no different. WWE Royal Rumble will emanate from Tropicana Field in Tampa Bay, a baseball stadium that seats over 42,000 in its stands alone. Considering the current free agent market and rumors surrounding the event, this year’s WWE Royal Rumble has plenty of surprise entrant potential.
