WWE President Nick Khan told SportsBusiness.com that Italy
will be hosting a premium live event next year to coincide
with the television rights moving to Netflix Italy.
While Italy has hosted a few televised events such as Raw
and Smackdown, it will be the first PLE in the country.
Khan put over WWE’s international fan base, saying that
attendance and viewership for the international PLEs have
been significant.
WWE currently airs on Discovery+ and DMAX in Italy, the
station ironically owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, the
right holders of AEW television in the United States.
Khan did not announce any location, arena, or which show
will take place in Italy.
