WWE Royal Rumble 2024 annual event will commence the Road to Wrestlemania 40 in full gear, early next year. If the latest reports are to go by then the event is expected to take place next January in Florida, although WWE is yet to decide on the exact location.
WWE is reportedly trying to choose between two locations in Florida for Royal Rumble 2024 which will be the first Premium Live Event of 2024. Back in May, the Orlando Sentinel reported that Orlando was indeed a frontrunner to host the show.

Update on Royal Rumble 2024 emanating from Orlando, Florida
Orlando is a familiar territory for the WWE as it plays home to the WWE Performance Center. Previously it hosted the 1990 Royal Rumble event which saw Hulk Hogan win the main event match. More recently, the city hosted WrestleMania 24 in 2008 and then Wrestlemania 33 in 2017.
According to the reports of PWInsider, Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida will also be in discussion for hosting Royal Rumble 2024. During the COVID-19 Pandemic era, this venue played host to the WWE Thunderdome concept from December 2020 to April 2021.
As a result, the 2021 Royal Rumble (where Edge and Bianca Belair respectively won the two Rumble matches) took place at the venue. For the time being, Tropicana Field remains the home of Major League Baseball’s Tampa Bay Rays with the capacity of hosting over 42000 fans.
The Royal Rumble 2024 show will be the 37th edition in the event’s history, and per the tradition, it will contain a Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble match. This will mark the seventh Rumble event to feature two Rumble matches on the card.
As for this year’s Royal Rumble, the event took place in the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley would respectively win the Men’s and Women’s Royal Rumble matches to go on to headline Wrestlemania 39.
