10 Fascinating WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Facts

10. Every Tenth Rumble Has Been In San Antonio

San Antonio is the seventh-most populous city in the United States, yet it's not often regarded as one of WWE's top locales. The city is more known for their NBA dominance over the past few decades with Tim Duncan, David Robinson, and coach Gregg Popovich than it is a hotbed of historic sports-entertainment activity.

Yet in every year that ends in a seven, WWE brings the Royal Rumble to town. The 1997, 2007, and 2017 Rumbles (the tenth, twentieth, and thirtieth incarnations, it should be noted), have all taken place in "The Alamo City".

The 2017 event, just like 1997, was held in the spacious Alamodome, lending a bit of a WrestleMania-esque feel. In 2007, however, the event took place in the smaller AT&T Center, where Popovich's San Antonio Spurs have played since the building opened in 2002.
