WWE Royal Rumble 2023 reportedly set to be “all hands on deck”

WWE Royal Rumble weekend is scheduled to be a big one for the company.

The 2023 Royal Rumble premium live event is scheduled for Saturday, January 28 at The Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. It appears that WWE is putting all its cards on the table when it comes to that weekend's big event.

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, the 2023 WWE Royal Rumble weekend is being considered an "all hands on deck" weekend for the company. With the idea being that some talents will be brought in that weekend who aren't scheduled for the show in order to participate in media events and film content for the WWE Network.

Johnson stated that there have also been discussions about bringing in some of WWE's NIL talents as well.
