Update*** Philly.com has confirmed that Philadelpha will be hosting the 2018 Royal Rumble. The date will be January 28, 2018 and will also feature an NXT Takeover event the day prior.
Our take: Philadelphia was rumored to have just missed out on hosting Wrestlemania 34 (which instead went to New Orleans). This could easily be the cities consolation prize for missing out on the big event. The Rumble was held in Philly back in 2015 where the fans booed Roman Reigns out of the building. Maybe WWE wants to right their wrong for the fans and put on a great event? Could easily see this being the case. The Philly fans are usually very passionate and a good wrestling crowd.
