Per the press release from WWE:
“Due to the incredible early response for Money In The Bank ticket pre-registrations at The O2 in London on Saturday, July 1, WWE today announced that SmackDown will also emanate from The O2 the night before – Friday, June 30.
“This marks the first time ever that SmackDown will broadcast live and in primetime from the UK at 8pm local on BT Sport.”
Following the success of Clash at the Castle, this marks WWE’s return to the United Kingdom for a premium live event and the first time that a main calendar WWE event has been held in the United Kingdom since SummerSlam in 1992.
WWE has run UK-exclusive PPVs in the UK previously, including Rebellion between 1999 and 2002 and Insurrextion between 2000 and 2003.
Tickets go on sale on February 22 2023 and fans can preregister using the link in the above Tweet.
