WWE Live hits the region again in full force with its line-up of superstar wrestlers, headlined by John Cena, entertaining fans in Abu Dhabi to action and drama this weekend.

– On The Radar, February 9-15: WWE LIVE, AGL action, NSL final…

Held at Zayed Sports City from Thursday, February 12 to Saturday, February 14, the event will feature big names like Cena, Seth Rollins, Dolph Ziggler, Dean Ambrose and more during the three days of show-stopping wrestling.

WWE Live was last in Abu Dhabi in 2013 after breaking records with its debut show in 2012. Now, with WWE’s popularity in the region at a high, the event is returning for a third appearance to once again bring entertainment to the fans.

“WWE is bringing our live events back to the UAE because our popularity with families and fans of all ages throughout the region continues to soar,” said Carlo Nohra, WWE vice president and general manager, Middle East. 

Each of the three days will have a  jam-packed card full of stars going head to head. On Thursday, Cena and Rollins meet in a street fight as the face of the franchise tries to take down the up-and-coming Mr. Money in the Bank.

In the other main events, Ambrose faces Rusev for the United States Championship, with Ziggler tangling with Bad News Barrett for the Intercontinental Championship.

On Friday, Cena and Ambrose join to fend off Luke Harper and Rusev, with Ziggler going against Rollins and Ryback facing Bad New Barrett for the Intercontinental Championship.

The final day will see Cena turn his attention to Bad News Barrett for the Intercontinental Championship, while Jack Swagger and Rusev meet for the United States Championship and Ziggler squares off with Rollins.

Some fan favourites will also be on hand during the weekend, including Sami Zayn, Bo Dallas and Gold and Stardust. The line-up is subject to change.

souvenirs. You can either secure your tickets online at www. ticketmaster.ae, by calling 800 TMUAE, or on location at Zayed
