WWE’s commitment to expanding its global reach is evident in its recent plans for international events. Following the announcement of hosting its first major PPV event, the Bash in Berlin, in Germany next year, further reports from Fightful Select suggest that WWE has its sights set on Paris for another significant event.
In addition to their scheduled events in Saudi Arabia and the Elimination Chamber in Australia, reports indicate that WWE is considering hosting a premium live event in Paris. Internal discussions within the company hint at the possibility of the Backlash event being held in France’s capital next spring. While the name of the event might be subject to change, it’s evident that this proposal has gained traction among WWE officials.
For those familiar with WWE’s history in France, this development is not entirely surprising. WWE has previously held live events in the country, notably at the Bercy Arena in Paris. Specifically, a SmackDown live event took place on April 24, 2007, with an attendance of over 12,000 fans. Following its success, WWE returned to the same venue on September 28, 2008, for another event that drew a similar crowd.
These past events in France not only highlight WWE’s dedication to its French audience but also underscore the country’s significance in WWE’s international strategy. As fans worldwide await more details and official announcements regarding the upcoming international events, WWE’s potential return to Paris is sure to be met with much enthusiasm.
