www.pwmania.com/first-photos-of-the-2017-wwe-royal-rumble-stageEveryone send their condolences to the the wwe creative who are now blind. Like seriously what the hell?!? This is the 30rh anniversary in a stadium! If there is one thing that pisses me off with wwe it's their lack of designing in stages and titles. I swear if the Wrestlemania stage is the raw stage....

I am a little surprised by this since they are in a stadium. But they always go out just for Mania, and lately those are looking a tiny bit generic

I'm not surprised since they've been having these bland sets for awhile now.
For us old school fans it would of been cool if they gave us a retro Rumble 97 look since it's in the same stadium.

Hasn't every PPV since RAW 1000/RAW Supershow had a generic stage for the PPVs apart from WrestleMania? It's not really a shock they'd do it for Royal Rumble too as it looks like there's seating available behind the set too. With the Rumble being at the Alamodome, they're probably trying to fit in as many people as possible.

That's what happens when WWE isn't charging $59.99 for PPV's anymore, $10 for a PPV with a generic stage is good to me.

I mean it's just a stage, honestly Wrestlemania and Summerslam are the only ppvs that should have unique stages

Where previously they knew they'd have huge buy figures to build elaborate sets now they know for $9.99 your expectations might be slightly lower. It's the transistion from PPV mass appeal to niche entertainment subscription. |

They couldn't change it up for a night? It costs a lot of money so by them not spending too much on a stage, they earn a bigger profit from sales. Wrestlemania and I guess Summerslam are the only 2 that should have a special entrance stage. People don't pay money to see a stage anyways, they paid to see the wrestlers preform and that's exactly what they're getting. |

I'm not surprised since they only change the stage for Mania and sometimes Summerslam. It honestly would make sense to do a special stage for your 3rd biggest show of the year which happens to be in a stadium.

Eh the pay to see them perform part is true and it won't affect the biggest Rumble match in history imo. |

I was hoping considering this is in a big stadium that they would change up the stage a little bit.

I honestly cannot believe that some people are defending the WWE for using a generic and in all honesty boring as hell stage! they used to be so god damn creative with their stage designs and it really did help give each show its own personality....... personality something the current product is actually lacking from top to bottom.

The matches sell the PPV, not the stage. The current setup is fine. No one who missed the show is saying "I better watch the PPV cause I heard it had a cool stage".

I understand B show PPV's since we now pay 9.99 compared to 18-20 for PPV's but WWE at least have to go big on the Big 4 PPV's and maybe MITB. Doing this will show how important they are and how big they are compared to PPV's like Fast Lane and Backlash
