Ha!

Some will roll their eyes at this, but it's valid. It's also true that there's no "could be broken" about this - it will be broken, and WWE don't have a say in the matter. Whether they're allowed to sneak a small gathering of fans into Tropicana Field or not (socially distanced, of course), the Rumble will play before the smallest crowd ever.

Most Rumbles take place in cavernous surroundings. The pay-per-view is cherished, after all, and it's the kick off point for the exciting 'Road To WrestleMania'. Last year's event played before approx. 40,000 fans, which is why it's going to be so strange to see nothing but ThunderDome LED screens staring back opposite the hard cam in 2021.

The 2021 Rumble will have the lowest attendance of any supercard in the series yet. Again, even if WWE can sneak a smattering of punters in, there's no way it'll come close to the 10,000 at the 1995 event, or the 9,600 in 1996 (both the lowest to date).
