Looking forward to the trip over, way too early to speculate on the card but hopefully it will be semi decent

Expect a record attendance at the Cardiff stadium.

Tickets will sell out ASAP.

Both of these statements are inaccurate.

How'd you know?

Joshua sold it out and he was fighting some bum.

There will be people from all over Europe interested in this, plus who actually cares if it sells out anyway!

If anything good sales might encourage AEW to book a stadium show in the UK a bit sooner.

Hopefully it will be a major show, and fans like PTH will get to gloat about seeing this generations Bret vs Bulldog.

Dude, its WWE in 2022. That's how he knows. Have you watched the show lately? And yeah, When AEW does do a UK tour, I say this as someone who is meh on AEW, They WILL sell out.

Haven't watched wrestling consistently in years but might have to head to this.

You're using a British heavyweight world boxing champion first defense as a comparison? Already clutching.

I know it won't sell out because nothing WWE does sells out anymore, Steve Austin barely added ticket sales to wrestlemania, the garden was empty, and they can't even fill Saudi Arabian seats with the royal family paying.

I want to be excited about a WWE pay per view that I could go to and be home for Sunday mass, but the creative doldrums and the fact that WWE have refused to build anyone who isn't reigns or Lesnar (because who needs a mid card) means I'd travel to cork just to be further away from it.

Was going to go but the accommodation prices are shocking. Ryanair are only flying in on the Friday so it's a two nights as-well.

This will be a sell out and probably a great atmosphere.

Could fly to Bristol and get the train to Cardiff. Will wait on a card before booking anything anyways.

CastorTroy

Is it part of a European tour? I won't be going but curious if they might have Raw there as well. Though since it's on Saturday they may fly back to the US for Monday.

Assuming they tape raw and smackdown together on the Monday, that'd leave 4 days before the show, can't see them diluting ticket sales with house shows.

Drew to headline probably, tbh he deserves a decent title match in front of a crowd, I'd love Sheamus to have another reign

Bots at it yet again...

Baron Corbin vs Butch main event then if tickets are looking likely to sell well

with the pre sales interest at 59,000 people this looks like it will sell out very quickly.

We'll see, not like WWE would lie about numbers.

Necro

Looks like this is a no go for me anyways, and tickets haven't even come out yet. Hotels already charging about 350/400 per night for rooms in Cardiff that weekend.

I love my kid and like making them happy and all that but I'm also not made of money despite what he thinks 🤣

Hello 2D Person Below

Incredible interest for the event, 59,000...WOW.

PTH will need us all up bright and early to help secure tickets.

CastorTroy

Bots could actually come into play. In this case scalper bots.

I'll fight like a pitbull to get my ticket ha

Yeah the hotel prices are some joke and luckily I got ahead of the game when the venue and date was leaked a few weeks ago. Still a rip off but got the Ibis Central for £240 for the weekend. Ryanair also have upped the prices for Dublin-Cardiff. From looking at some UK wrestling fourms they say Cardiff already lacks hotels

El Gato De Negocios

Had my stag in Cardiff a few years back, great little City and the people we met couldn't have been nicer.

Is SD or Raw coming to Dublin as part of the WWE European tour? Whose your kid's favourite @Necro

cena

Can you fly in and out the same day from Cardiff??

PTH2009

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118933032#Comment_118933032

Don't think so, Ryanair only have 4 services per week from Dublin-Cardiff and back

Possibly ferry to Pembroke or Holyhead might be the best option for day trips but not sure how far Cardiff is from those ports

At the event, Reigns retained the unified WWE Universal Title against Drew McIntyre in the main event. This is a match that McIntyre recently pushed for at the upcoming UK show on Saturday, September 3 at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, which marks the first major PPV event in the UK since 1992

It's a 2 hour train journey from London Paddington so you can easily do early flight to London, get the Heathrow express and get the train.

I've booked hotel anyway for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. WWE product might be crap/meh nowadays but this is still a PPV/PLE in the UK so definitely going to try and get tickets.

ShagNastii

I’d definitely be of that mindset. WWE hasn’t been producing blockbuster stuff lately (or for some time) but this is surely going to be something special.

Can’t even imagine how white hot the crowd will be.

JP Liz V1

Might Tyson Fury be enticed

That's a good shout, doubt the money would be anywhere near the Saudi deal but he might be up for it if he's genuinely retiring.

PTH2009

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118968075#Comment_118968075

he could be special guest ring enforcer or something like that

How about Roman vs Fury ?
