WWE is bringing a pay-per-view event to Indiana this October.
During Tuesday’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show, it was revealed that Fastlane 2023 will be held at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Saturday, October 7. The show is set to stream live on Peacock/WWE Network.
Seth Rollins was supposed to be on The Pat McAfee Show to announce the news, but Paul Heyman ended up appearing instead. Rollins is defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Bron Breakker on NXT tonight.
