WWE held more international PLEs than ever in 2024, with shows in Canada, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, Wales, France, Australia, and Puerto Rico. The company is also slated to head to Germany for Bash In Berlin later this month.
WWE does this because countries will pay high site fees to host PLEs, which is the cases something they also do in the US, with cities bidding on-site fees, which brings a significant local economic boost.
WWE most recently returned to Italy for a live event in Bologna, the first WWE event in Italy since 2018. WWE previously held a tour in Italy, where they held Raw, SmackDown, and ECW episodes from Milian. Most fans will remember the debut of Santino Marella, who went on to win the Intercontinental Championship from Umaga.
@hashtagPWN, which has broken past stories, reports WWE is set to host a premium live event in Italy next year. This would be the first-ever PPV/PLE that WWE has held in Italy. Here is the confirmed WWE PLE schedule:
Saturday, August 31, 2024: WWE Bash in Berlin in Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany
