WWE
An announcement has been made confirming that a WWE show is set to make its debut in an international location next year.
With rumors swirling about potential announcements to be made by Finn Balor and Becky Lynch ahead of Zuffa Boxing 10 in Dublin, a WWE Raw episode has now been confirmed for the city in Ireland.
Speaking on Ireland AM, with audio shared on Twitter, Becky Lynch confirmed that WWE Raw will emanate from the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland in early 2027.
Touting the event as the first time ever that Raw will emanate from Dublin, Ireland, Lynch would confirm:
“For the first time ever, Monday Night Raw will be in the 3Arena on 25th January (2027).
“Can’t believe it. It’s amazing. It’s amazing. As a kid, we would have never dreamed.”

Will O’Callaghan of Off The Ball – the outlet which teased that a massive WWE announcement for today – has since confirmed that Raw will head to the 3Arena in January.
While this will be the first time ever that Raw will air live from in Dublin, Ireland, it will be the second time a televised main roster show is held in the city overall, with the 3Arena previously hosting of the August 22, 2025 episode of SmackDown.
The Growth Of WWE On The International Stage
WWE events taking place outside of the United States isn’t a new phenomenon for the company, with international tours taking place throughout the year, bringing with it episodes of Raw and SmackDown and the occasional PLE.
This year alone has seen Night of Champions, Clash in Italy, and the Royal Rumble all take place on the international stage, with Cody Rhodes having previously revealed that WWE is “using the live events overseas as potential tests for can we go over there and do a huge PLE.”
For territories such as Ireland, the market for a televised event, be it an episode of Raw or a PLE, is very much untapped, with fans eager to see stars up close in a broadcast environment. WWE Live events are popular, and will continue to be so, but the real drama arguably happens on Raw, SmackDown or a PLE, where championships might change hands, returns could happen, feuds end and rivalries emerge.
