NICK KHAN SAYS FRANCE AND GERMANY GETTING WWE PLE'S

- WWE President Nick Khan revealed that both France and Germany will be getting premium live events this year. Khan spoiled the news at a roundtable discussion on Global Entertainment held in Las Vegas yesterday. Both countries got PLEs in 2024, with Backlash in Lyon and Bash In Berlin in Berlin. The Lyon show was originally supposed to be in Paris but due to the Olympics, it was not possible. Which cities will get the events remains to be seen, but WWE remains keen on doing a show in Paris. Last year's Backlash ended up being one of the most talked-about shows ever due to the rowdy crowd which chanted and jumped during the whole show, shaking cameras along the way. WWE held eight premium live events outside the United States in 2024, breaking several revenue records throughout the year.

RAW AND SMACKDOWN DURING MANIA WEEKEND TO BE HELD AT T-MOBILE ARENA

- Some additional information regarding the WrestleMania 41 weekend events in Las Vegas were revealed yesterday at Vegas Chamber’s Preview Las Vegas held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Mick Akers of the Las Vegas Review-Journal was present for the discussion with WWE President Nick Khan, who said that the Friday Night Smackdown on April 18 and Monday Night Raw on April 21 will both be held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It's the largest arena in the city and the home of the UFC for the major Vegas events. The WWE World fan convention will take place between April 17 and April 21 and will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center. WWE World replaces the Axxess convention and was introduced with last year's WrestleMania. The location for NXT Stand & Deliver has not been announced but it's likely taking place at the T-Mobile Arena as well considering WWE likes to push combo tickets for all their shows during Mania weekend. Khan also said that they sold more WrestleMania tickets in the first 72 hours than any other WWE event in history.
