WWE's annual Royal Rumble event is taking over Indianapolis this weekend in a big way. It's so big that some streets have even changed their name to a more WWE-friendly street name.

The WWE has been on fire lately. Breaking box office records, and putting on some of the best shows we have seen in years. Many people have claimed that this new era, under the rule of Triple H, is very similar to the success that the company saw back in the 90s during the "Attitude Era." As a lifelong member of the WWE Universe, I love everything that is going on with Raw, SmackDown, and NXT as of late. In 2024, the WWE announced a partnership with Indiana Sports Corp for Indianapolis to host the 2025 Royal Rumble at Lucas Oil Stadium. However, the exciting news didn't end there. A future Wrestlemania and Summerslam would come to the home of the Colts too.

The Royal Rumble Takes Over Indianapolis

There will be so much going on in Indianapolis this weekend in honor of the Royal Rumble. It appears that more than 65,000 fans are expected to pack Lucas Oil Stadium on Saturday. It is set to be an attendance record for Lucas Oil Stadium and the Royal Rumble event itself. Between several wrestling shows, wrestling-themed dining options, and more, Indianapolis has really come prepared to welcome the WWE Universe!

Wrestling Matches That Could Win A Gold Medal If Professional Wresting Were An Olympic Sport

I belelive that these are some of the best matches of all time. No gimmicks, just a good old fashioned match that told a great story and left the crowd in awe of what they just witnessed.
