Location For The 2017 Royal Rumble, Gail Kim On If TNA Should Rename The Knockouts

According to Dave Meltzer the 2017 Royal Rumble will take place in San Antonio, TX. The event will mark the 20th anniversary of the 1997 Royal Rumble which took place at the Alamodome. The event was attended by 60,525 fans and it featured Shawn Michaels vs. Sycho Sid for the WWF Championship as well as Steve Austin’s first Royal Rumble win.

Gail Kim recently spoke to USA Today’s For The Win to promote Bound For Glory on Sunday and more. You can check out the full interview here along with some highlights below.

If the Knockouts should change their name: I feel like it’s great and I don’t think we need to change it. I could see where people don’t like diva because the idea that it comes with a certain attitude so I can understand why the WWE did that. I do hope for the WWE’s sake, that means the genders will be equal. But for us, I feel like the girls should still have a name and be special. I feel like it’s established and people know us as the Knockouts.

The TNA sale situation: I think change is always scary but also always good. We were at a point where the talent never really knew everything that was going on and you hear rumors, but as of the last (TV) tapings, we had a clearer direction …

The roster — whoever was there and no matter how many changes — has always been a family. Whether morale was high or low, you had to put in the work and nobody gave less than 100%. That’s never changed from the first day to now.
