Paris, France could be the next major international city to host a WWE PLE.
Fightful is reporting that “some internal schedules in the company” have WWE Backlash 2024 as taking place in the city. While a deal has yet to be finalized, running the PLE from Paris is said to have been “discussed heavily.”
The news comes on the same day WWE announced its first-ever PLE in Germany will be Bash in Berlin on August 31, 2024, from Mercedes-Benz Arena. It also comes a month after WWE announced the 2024 Elimination Chamber will be held on February 24, 2024, at Optus Stadium in Perth, Australia.
Nick Khan has previously mentioned WWE is looking to secure more site fees from governments in order host WWE premium live events in their cities.
WWE received nearly $3 million in subsidies from the Welsh government for Clash at the Castle in September 2022. It received roughly $1.5 million from the Puerto Rican government for Backlash 2023 as well.
Additionally, an article in the Catalyst published on Tuesday revealed that the St. Petersburg/Clearwater, Florida tourism board paid $500,000 to bring the Royal Rumble to Tropicana Field next January.
