to the upcoming Royal Rumble premium live event scheduled for this weekend in the very same city.
Advertised for tonight: WWE Champion Drew McIntyre and his latest challenger, Sami Zayn, will come face-to-face for a final confrontation before they square off at the big show.
Elsewhere, Cody Rhodes will take the microphone to make some kind of declaration ahead of his latest attempt to win the Royal Rumble for a third time, Ilja Dragunov takes on The Miz, Axiom vs. Johnny Gargano, and a whole lot more.
