What’s On announces WWE Live in Abu Dhabi featuring John Cena. World Wrestling Entertainment will be at Zayed Sports City in February 2015.


World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) will return to Abu Dhabi in 2015, bringing with it a host of the sport’s biggest stars.

John Cena, ‘Money In The Bank’ winner Seth Rollins, Intercontinental Champion Luke Harper, United States Champion Rusev, Dolph Ziggler, Dean Ambrose are part of the group coming to the region early next year, for three showpiece events at Zayad Sports City Tennis Stadium, February 12, 13 and 14.

It’s the first time WWE Live has visited the UAE since October 2013, when Randy Orton, Daniel Brya, The Big Show, The Miz and The Shield were among an all-star cast.

Tickets for the event go on sale at ticketmaster.ae on Wednesday December 10. They will be priced between Dhs300 and Dhs2,000, and there will be no age restriction.

“WWE is bringing our live events back to the UAE because our popularity with families and fans of all ages throughout the region continues to soar,” said organisers. “Earlier this year, WWE successfully held live events in Saudi Arabia for the first time, and we look forward to expanding our footprint in the region through live events and television programming with partners OSN and MBC.”

Earlier this year, WWE superstar Sheamus was also in town, at World Trade Centre, helping launch WWE 2k15 during Games 2014. There, he signed autographs and posed for photos with guests.
