WWE has expanded its Premium Live Events internationally more than ever in 2024, with several events taking place outside of the United States. Japan could soon have one of its own.
In recent months, WWE has held Money in the Bank in Canada and Bash in Berlin at the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany. They also held the Elimination Chamber in Australia this past February.
WWE does this because of the high site fees countries will pay to host PLEs. WWE does the same in the US, with cities bidding on-site fees, which brings a significant local economic boost.
While discussing a potential host for next year’s Elimination Chamber PLE, WrestleVotes reported on the latest episode of WrestleVotes Radio on SportsKeeda’s Backstage Pass Patreon reported that there is a strong push within WWE about holding an event in Japan following the recent success of the Japan tour.
“I think Japan definitely gets something in the future. I know there’s a big push internally for the Japanese market. There’s a lot of Japanese talent on the roster. And I think the last tour they just had over there in Japan was very successful as well.”
