When WWE announced St. Louis as the host of the event, John P. Saboor, WWE Executive Vice President of Special Events, commented:
"WWE has a rich history in St. Louis and we are excited to bring Royal Rumble to the Dome at America’s Center, a venue that has hosted countless large-scale sports and entertainment events. We look forward to giving the WWE Universe an opportunity to experience all that St. Louis has to offer." John P. Saboor said. (h/t WWE.com)
The stadium event is part of WWE's new initiative to host more stadium events and move away from an arena-model with special events. WWE President Nick Khan noted:
"For the first time in our history, we're hosting at least four pay-per-view nights in a stadium in the United States. First, Royal Rumble on January 29 at the Dome at America Center in St. Louis, a Saturday night where there is no real competitive programming on the sports calendar. Typically, we have done Royal Rumble a week later during Pro Bowl weekend. This year, we wanted to support our NBCU partners and not go up against the Winter Olympics. Thus far, ticket sales are off the charts, track as well as this year's SummerSlam, where we ended up with a gate four times the gate of SummerSlam 2019, a clear sign of the value of bringing our tentpole events to major venues on the right night." Nick Khan said. (h/t Fightful)
