Some of the most electrifying men and women in sports entertainment arrive in the UAE next month as WWE Live returns to Abu Dhabi.
It is the fourth time the WWE has visited the Emirates in the last five years and the first time since 2015 its packed star of rosters will enter the squared circle at Zayed Sports City Tennis Stadium since 2015, following the WWE’s visit to Dubai in 2016.
Roman Reigns headlines a roster bristling with talent to appear in Abu Dhabi on Thursday, December 7, with tickets available now via platinumlist.net and UAE Exchange outlets.
Reigns became only the fifth man after Hulk Hogan, the Rock, Triple H and John Cena to headline WrestleMania three times when he appeared in the main event in April.
It will be the second time that Reigns has appeared in the UAE, having competed in tag matches with his Shield stablemates Seth Rollins and Dean Ambrose in October 2013.
