Two of tonight's Superstars are Missouri natives. Both Randy Orton and Evan Bourne are from St. Louis.

The WWE Raw match precedes the Royal Rumble, a 30-man, every-man-for-himself battle that will be on Pay-Per-View on Jan. 31. Tonight's match showcases stars like John Cena getting in some of their last ring time before that event.

"Ticket sales are going great, and we see a lot of last-minute buyers for these events," said Shannon Buford, marketing director for the Show Me Center. "Historically, we have large, enthusiastic crowds for the WWE Raw events, and with the lineup we have, this should be a packed house once again."

Tickets are still available for the event and can be purchased at the Show Me Center ticket office or any Ticketmaster outlet. The doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the event starts at 7:30.
