When is WWE coming to Cardiff’s Principality Stadium?
WWE has announced the special event is coming to the 74,500-seater Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales on September 3.
Mark Williams, Principality Stadium Manager, added: ‘We’re extremely proud that Principality Stadium has been chosen by WWE to host this major event, which is testament to the stadium’s reputation as a world class venue.
‘Principality Stadium is unique in its position at the heart of the city centre, which will undoubtably offer WWE fans an unrivalled event experience both inside and outside of the stadium and bring great benefit to the wider city of Cardiff.’
When was WWE last in the UK?
Although WWE returns regularly for tours – the stars later this month – this will be the first stadium-sized, premium live event since SummerSlam in 1992.
The legendary show took place at London’s Wembley Stadium, with Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart and the British Bulldog clashing over the Intercontinental Championship in the main event.
Discussing the Cardiff show, John Porco added: ‘The weekend will be filled with a variety of WWE experiences that we believe will leave a lasting memory, on par with SummerSlam at Wembley Stadium in 1992.’
