World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) will host its flagship show “RAW” at the Videotron Center in Quebec City for the first time in its history on Monday, August 21st.
Wrestling enthusiasts from the old capital and surrounding regions who can purchase tickets now can witness the exploits of several household names, including Quebecers Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn, who became WrestleMania 39 tag team champions over the weekend in early April . Joining the Belle Province duo are Cody Rhodes, Becky Lynch, Seth Rollins, Gunther, Braun Strowman, Ricochet and Matt Riddle, not to mention veteran Natalya. Tag team champions Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez and The Judgment Day should normally be in action.
Our expert Pat Laprade spoke about it on Thursday’s show JiC (watch the video above).
The event planned for Quebec will take place approximately two weeks after the presentation of SummerSlam, one of the signature galas on the WWE calendar, which will take place in Detroit on August 5th. The association will also stop at the Canadian Tire Center in Ottawa and Place Bell in Laval on August 19th and 20th for non-televised performances.
WWE’s recent visits to Montreal have been successful, with the Bell Center packed with fans for two “SmackDown” shows on August 19, 2022 and February 17. Then the next day, Metropolis hosted Elimination Chamber, a first premium gala (once dubbed an ‘a la carte event’) in 14 years.
