In recent years, we've seen WWE hold more Premium Live Events outside of North America. Saudi Arabia, Puerto Rico, and the UK have all been home to major shows lately, and it was recently announced that Elimination Chamber is heading to Australia in 2024.
Today, the company has revealed plans to hold Bash In Berlin, Germany's first-ever major PLE, next August.
This is a newly created event rather than a familiar show such as Backlash or Money in the Bank, though WWE did the same last year with Clash at the Castle in Cardiff, Wales. While this is obviously exciting for German WWE fans, it may not bode well for UK fans hoping the company might hold another PLE there next year.
Still, WWE is expanding in a big way overseas and that's great news for fans who have spent years of dreaming of going to shows like this one, only to be unable to do so due to the cost of travelling to the U.S. Unlike Elimination Chamber, though, Bash In Berlin will be an arena show rather than a stadium one.
Here's the press release from WWE:
WWE, part of TKO Group Holdings, today announced that Bash In Berlin, the first-ever major WWE Premium Live Event to be held in Germany, will emanate from the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany, on Saturday, August 31, 2024.
