WWE Unveils Historic SmackDown Episode in Berlin, Germany

WWE is making history around every turn, it seems, nowadays. Now, they are gearing up to make even more history in 2024.

Over the past year, WWE expanded its reach by hosting major events in various global locations. Fans are now seeing WWE in a global capacity, and that’s not going to change.

Those events outside the United States included the Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event in Canada and subsequent events like Backlash in Puerto Rico, Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia, and Money in the Bank in London. In 2024, WWE plans to continue this trend with significant shows scheduled for Australia, France, and Germany.

Recently, WWE revealed that due to an overwhelming response from fans during pre-registration for Bash in Berlin, the first-ever major premium live event in Germany, the go-home episode of SmackDown leading up to the event will also take place at the Mercedes-Benz Arena on Friday, August 30, 2024. This marks the inaugural occasion of SmackDown being held in Germany.

The two shows have already announced top stars, including Cody Rhodes, LA Knight, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Rhea Ripley, Gunther, and more. Fans can secure presale combo tickets starting on Tuesday, November 28, 2023.

WWE is just getting started with booking their 2024 schedule. Odds are, fans outside the United States will get even more chances to see the action by the time everything is announced. Keep checking back with us here at Ringside News for more.
