Nick Khan reveals France will host a WWE PLE in 2025
This story has been updated.
WWE will continue their international presence when it comes to premium live events in 2025 with the company’s leader providing the name of at least one country that will host one.
WWE president Nick Khan appeared at a Las Vegas tourism event Thursday and during a “fireside chat” he took part in, he referred to Paris, France, hosting a PLE that has yet to be announced.
Our report initially included Germany, but Khan was using that in reference to an event held there last year and not necessarily for this year.
Last December, TKO’s Mark Shapiro said to expect more international PLEs this year coming after a 2024 in which eight out of 12 were hosted outside of the United States (two each in Saudi Arabia and Canada and one each in Australia, France, Scotland and Germany).
To this point, WWE has announced four PLEs for this year with one thus far outside the United States: March’s Elimination Chamber in Canada.
Here are some additional notes from Khan’s talk:
- The WWE World fan fest will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center from April 17th-21st.
- Both the pre-WrestleMania SmackDown on April 18th and the post-WrestleMania Raw will be held at the T-Mobile Arena.
