WWE Royal Rumble weekend is already shaping up to be a big event, with WWE’s PPV, NXT show as well as EVOLVE Wrestling running their EVOLVE 53, 54 and 55 events in the area. EVOLVE, who frequently runs shows in the area, will be Ybor City (Tampa) on 1/22, and in Orlando the following two afternoons.
It was speculated that EVOLVE chose to run afternoon shows at the Orlando Downtown Recreation Complex, which is about a mile from Royal Rumble host Amway Center, to prevent a head to head with WWE and NXT in the area.
