Scoopage here from Philly.com’s Vaughn Johnson:

Philadelphia’s rich history of professional wrestling will get even richer in 2018: The city will host the WWE Royal Rumble at the Wells Fargo Center on Jan. 28.

…

Auxiliary events Raw, Smackdown Live, and NXT — the company’s developmental program that has morphed into its own thriving brand — will also also take place at the Wells Fargo Center Jan. 27-30 next year.

Oh hell yeah!

The Royal Rumble was just here two years ago and there was only a mild alleged parking lot incident with upset fans trying to block Fandango from leaving… so that wasn’t enough to keep the WWE away for good.

If Joel Embiid doesn’t make an appearance (NON-FIGHTING!) alongside Triple H, the whole event should be declared… a Philly screwjob.
