TORONTO — The WWE is returning to Toronto's Rogers Centre for the first time in more than two decades.
The professional wrestling promoter says it will hold its Elimination Chamber premium live event at the downtown ballpark on March 1. It will be the second consecutive year that Elimination Chamber is held outside the United States after Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia, held it this year.“Canada is an amazing place to host our biggest premium live events, with its passionate fans and rich history that spans decades,” said WWE chief content officer Paul Levesque.
This is WWE’s first event in Rogers Centre since WrestleMania 18 in 2002, which featured the “Icon vs. Icon” match between Dwayne Johnson and Hulk Hogan. Rogers Centre also hosted WrestleMania VI in 1990 that saw Hogan face The Ultimate Warrior in a winner-take-all match between the Intercontinental Champion and WWF Champion.
The home of the Toronto Blue Jays has undergone extensive renovations over the past two years to make it a baseball-specific stadium, but it still has the capacity to host other events like Taylor Swift's Eras Tour Nov. 14-23.Vancouver's Rogers Arena is hosting Survivor Series: War Games on Nov. 30.
