It'll be the first in a very long time I will watch the event at a reasonable time of the day. That's because the show is taking place from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia kicking off proceedings at 7PM GMT. That's a 10PM start time from the venue itself.
I've been thinking long and hard about the earliest time I've watched a regular Royal Rumble event. For some reason, I keep landing on 1997 (when the WWF shows were a week behind for some contract issue with Sky TV). If I am wrong, then I can confidently point to the 1994 Royal Rumble because I remember rushing home from my after school paper round to have my tea (that's what I called dinner back then!) and chores done before it started. I surmise it began at 6PM.
So, whether it's 1997 or 1994, it has been a very long time since I've watched a regular Royal Rumble show and been able to go to bed at a decent time afterwards.
