WWE is set to bring the excitement to Italy with a thrilling show scheduled in Bologna, as announced recently. Despite the buzz surrounding the event, Drew McIntyre’s contractual situation remains uncertain.
Mark your calendars for May 1, 2024, as WWE Live lands at the UNIPOL Arena in Bologna, Italy. The event promises to deliver top-notch action, featuring beloved WWE Superstars from Raw and SmackDown.
In an official statement released by WWE, fans can anticipate appearances from the likes of Cody Rhodes, Bianca Belair, Randy Orton, and the reigning WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY, among others. However, Drew McIntyre, a prominent figure in WWE, is notably included in the lineup, even as his contract status remains unresolved.
Tickets for this electrifying event, along with exclusive VIP packages offering Meet & Greet opportunities with WWE Superstars, will be available starting Friday, February 16. Stay tuned to WWE.com for further details.
The show in Bologna serves as a precursor to WWE Backlash France, scheduled at the LDLC Arena in Lyon-Decines on May 4, 2024.
While McIntyre’s contract with WWE is set to expire shortly after WrestleMania 40 in April, reports indicate that he has yet to finalize a new deal. Despite this uncertainty, he continues to be advertised for upcoming events, including Bash In Berlin in August.
McIntyre’s ongoing storyline, particularly his apparent feud with CM Punk, hints at his continued involvement with WWE. However, physical confrontations between the two might have to wait until Punk fully recuperates from injury, which is expected to take several months.
In the meantime, fans can catch Drew McIntyre in action as he gears up for an Elimination Chamber match on February 24, 2024, in Perth, Australia. Joining him in this high-stakes bout are notable contenders such as Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, and LA Knight. Additionally, upcoming qualifying matches featuring Logan Paul, The Miz, Kevin Owens, and Dominik Mysterio add to the anticipation surrounding the event.
The ultimate prize at stake is a shot at Seth Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40 in April 2024, making the Elimination Chamber match a must-watch for WWE enthusiasts.
