Indy prepares for WWE Royal Rumble event February 1

Indianapolis is set to host the WWE Royal Rumble on February 1, 2025, marking the city's first major WWE event since 1992. This event is part of a landmark agreement with WWE, which will also bring SummerSlam and WrestleMania to the city in the future. The Royal Rumble is expected to attract over 65,000 fans, with significant economic benefits projected at around $40 million. The city plans extensive promotions, including street renaming and themed events, to create a vibrant atmosphere for wrestling enthusiasts. However, rumors regarding a potential WrestleMania in 2027 have been debunked, with WWE indicating that the next WrestleMania in Indianapolis is likely in the early 2030s. The partnership with Indiana Sports Corp is poised to enhance Indianapolis's profile as a premier host for WWE events.
