WWE to host an event in the UK after 30 years
United Kingdom will be seeing its first WWE stadium event in 30 years on September 3. The event will occur at Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales making it the first large-scale event in the UK since the SummerSlam 1992, which packed around 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium in London.
