Whether it be Puerto Rico, the United Kingdom or France, WWE’s focus has shifted to bringing premium live events to more international markets in recent years.
With rumors of more new events in 2026, WWE are likely not set to slow down this approach any time soon.
Here are seven potential new WWE premium live event locations we could see soon.
7. Italy
Back in 2025, WWE took a European tour ahead of WrestleMania 41 that saw the company head to Bologna, Italy for an episode of Friday Night SmackDown.
The crowd was loud and vocal throughout the show, which could set the stage for a bigger show to head to the country.
Considering WWE are wanting to visit different countries, Italy has to be high on their list to bring a premium live event to.
After WWE President Nick Khan confirmed that the country will hold a PLE in the first half of 2026, it may be just a matter of time before the company announces its first ever major show in Italy.

6. Spain
Back in 2017, WWE visited Spain for a live event that showed just how much the fans were invested into the product.
Then during the aforementioned European tour ahead of WrestleMania 41, an episode of Friday Night SmackDown aired from Barcelona, Spain.
With the enthusiastic fans in attendance, Spain feels like a safe location to bring a future premium live event to the country.
WWE bringing one of their signature events to Spain would give the country a proper stage to showcase their love for the company and pro wrestling.

5. India
India has been a country that has shown a great deal of support towards the pro wrestling world.
Whether it be The Great Khali in WWE or TNA Wrestling expanding into the country, it seems like India has an affection for the industry that might be untapped.
WWE have held past events like the Superstar Spectacle in 2023 in the country and have had several stars make their presence known in the company.
WWE heading back to India would be an excellent way to highlight the country on a grand stage like a premium live event.

4. China
China is a country that many fans do not know has a strong base of fans who are fully invested into pro wrestling.
Back in 2019, WWE brought a live event to Shanghai, China, which was the fourth year in a row that the company held a show there.
Now that it has been over seven years since their last visit there, WWE could return to China in a bigger fashion in the near future.
The company bringing a premium live event to China would be great and showcase the investment that the country has into the WWE product on a massive stage.

3. Japan
Japan remains one of the biggest countries when it comes to pro wrestling.
Whether it be New Japan Pro Wrestling, STARDOM or Pro Wrestling NOAH, the companies in Japan are among the most notable in the entire industry today.
With WWE forming working relationships with the likes of NOAH and Marigold, it would be appropriate to see the promotion making their way to the country for a major show.
Japan hosting a WWE PLE would be fitting and make a formal announcement of their intention to expand some more into the country.

2. Brazil
In 2012, WWE took a tour of Latin America and made their way over to Brazil for a live event.
Heading over to Sao Paulo, the Brazilian fans showed just how much they enjoy the WWE on-screen product with their vocal responses.
While WWE has held several different tours around the world, Brazil has not hosted an event in the country in nearly 14 years now.
WWE heading back to Brazil would be a big deal and signal just how much they want to go to lesser visited countries for premium live events.

1. Mexico
Ahead of WrestleMania 41, WWE announced their official acquisition of the Lucha Libre AAA promotion in Mexico.
Since then, WWE has provided a great deal in the form of production and credibility to the AAA brand with the various events they have held in Mexico over the past year.
With their ongoing presence in the country, it only feels right for WWE to bring a premium live event to Mexico down the line.
Whether it be Mexico City, Tijuana or Puebla, WWE could hold a whole weekend of action with a major premium live event as well as a Lucha Libre AAA show in a city in Mexico within the next year or two.
