The announcement follows the record-setting Clash At the Castle which took place at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, in September 2022. At the time, the event became the most-viewed and highest-rated international Premium Live Event in company history.
Scotland is home to several WWE Superstars including Drew McIntyre, Alba Fyre, Isla Dawn, Piper Niven, Nikki Cross, Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey, Wolfgang and Noam Dar.
Details on when tickets can be purchased will be released in the near future.
The last time the company hosted a Premium Live Event in the UK was Money in the Bank on July 1st 2023, which took place at the O2 Arena in London. Along with the two Money in the Bank ladder matches, the show also saw a surprise appearance from John Cena and Roman Reigns suffering a rare pinfall loss in the main event.
WWE Returns To The United Kingdom In June
The historic Clash at the Castle 2022 was the first stadium show to take place in the UK since SummerSlam 1992. Taking place at the Principality Stadium and with more than 60,000 fans in attendance, the show saw Gunther and Sheamus go to war in one of the best matches of the year and Drew McIntyre challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Championship in the main event.
In a new update, the tickets for Clash at the Castle will go on sale very soon.
According to a new report, there is no guarantee that Drew McIntyre will be at the show.
