WWE has revealed the host city for the 2022 Royal Rumble.

It was announced today that The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis will host next year’s Royal Rumble on Saturday, January 29, 2022. The pay-per-view will be headlined by the men’s and women’s Royal Rumble matches.

WWE noted that this will be the largest venue to host the Royal Rumble in the event’s 30-plus year history. The Dome at America’s Center was formerly the home of the NFL’s St. Louis Rams before the team was moved to Los Angeles. The St. Louis BattleHawks played at the venue in Vince McMahon’s 2020 XFL revival.

St. Louis has hosted the Royal Rumble once before, with the event being held at the Enterprise Center in 2012.

Tickets for Royal Rumble 2022 will go on sale to the general public at 11 a.m. Eastern time on Friday, October 15. WWE has also opened up registration for those interested in ticket pre-sale information.

“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,” said John P. Saboor, WWE Executive Vice President of Special Events. “We look forward to giving the WWE Universe an opportunity to experience all that St. Louis has to offer.”

“The City of St. Louis is thrilled to host Royal Rumble at the Dome at America’s Center in January,” said St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones. “St. Louis has the best sports scene in the country, and Royal Rumble will enhance it even more. This event is an incredible opportunity for our city, bringing WWE fans from across the nation to St. Louis and helping keep our downtown vibrant during the winter season.”

This is the second WWE PPV that will be taking place in January 2022. On New Year’s Day, the State Farm Arena in Atlanta will host “WWE Day 1.” That PPV is also being held on a Saturday.
