The trend of WWE taking its premium live events international continues as Triple H announced this morning that they will be returning to Canada this summer for a main roster PLE and an NXT special.
In 2023, they held Backlash PLE in Puerto Rico and Money in the Bank in London. They will be going to the Optus Stadium in Perth, Western Australia, for Elimination Chamber, LDLC Arena in Lyon-Decines, France, with Backlash, and Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany, for Bash in Berlin.
SmackDown goes down on July 5, while Money in the Bank will take place the following day before NXT wraps up the weekend with Heatwave on Sunday, July 7th. All of these events will take place at the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
This summer, for the first time ever, Money in the Bank heads to Toronto and headlines a massive weekend at @ScotiabankArena.
