Cardiff's Principality Stadium to host first major WWE event in UK for more than 30 years

Cardiff's Principality Stadium will host the first major WWE stadium event to be held in the United Kingdom in more than 30 years.

It's been announced that the home of Welsh rugby will play host this September to the first UK event since Wembley Stadium hosted the iconic Summerslam '92, headlined by Bret Hart and Davey Boy Smith. The event, which will see some of the world's biggest wrestling stars descend on the Welsh capital, is set to take place on Saturday, September 3, 2022.

An event in Cardiff's iconic stadium had been the source of speculation over the last year. Over the years, a number of different sporting events, including heavyweight boxing clashes, have been held at the stadium but perhaps few will have the global reach that World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc can boast - with their programming being seen in more than 1 billion homes worldwide in 30 different languages.
