British wrestling fans will be excited to see WWE return to these shores as the company announced that Glasgow will host Friday Night SmackDown on June 14, followed by Clash At the Castle: Scotland the next night.
The event follows the record-setting Clash At the Castle which took place at Principality Stadium in Cardiff in September 2022.
Clash At the Castle: Scotland will be the first-ever WWE premium live event to be held in Scotland and it will take place a day later on June 15 at the OVO Hydro.
WWE President Nick Khan spoke of his joy to see both events staged in Scotland in a statement in which he also lauded the vocal fanbase in the country.
‘We are excited to bring both Friday Night SmackDown and Clash At The Castle: Scotland to our amazing fans in Scotland at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow this June,’ he said.
