WWE To Hold Australian 'Global Warning' PPV In 2018?
A 100,000-seater show could be in the works for October.
WWE could be on the verge of announcing their first ever Australian pay-per-view event, according to a new report from Pro Wrestling Sheet.
As per the write-up, WWE have had "serious internal discussions" with regards to reviving their Global Warning brand in October 2018.
It'd be the first time the name has been used since 2002, when the promotion drew 56,734 fans to the Colonial Stadium in Melbourne. Essentially a super-sized house show, it was headlined by WWE Champion The Rock, Triple H, and Brock Lesnar in a Triple Threat match, and was later released on DVD and VHS. This time, WWE would aim to broadcast Global Warning on the Network and as a standard pay-per-view.
Pro Wrestling Sheet state that WWE want to eclipse the event's 2002 attendance, and they've reportedly targeted the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which holds just over 100,000 people. The original Global Warning remains the best attended wrestling event ever held in the country, so WWE will be out to break their own record.
A potential PPV held in the United Kingdom has also been speculated over the past few months, though this report suggests an Australian show is further down the line.
