It seems WWE is covering all of its bases when securing the use of big venues for premium live events.
Brandon Thurston of Wrestlenomics recently took to social media to reveal an obtained copy of the contract between WWE and the state of San Antonio regarding the 2023 Royal Rumble.
Within the contract, it’s stated that the Alamodome was unable to run any other wrestling event from 90 days before the Royal Rumble event and an additional 60 days after.
You can check out the wording of the exclusivity period part of the contract in the embedded post below.
Because WWE withdrew its lawsuit, San Antonio released to Wrestlenomics their copy of the Royal Rumble 2023 agreement, which has a 3-page addendum not in the previously-published copy from the governor. The addendum includes an exclusivity clause.https://t.co/CahtkmyJUu pic.twitter.com/hmeX6qfKnx
