WWE recently confirmed a brand new international event for August 2024 with WWE’s Bash In Berlin, which will mark the first-ever premium live event in Germany. However, that might not be the last, as the company has been in negotiations with a lot of different city governments around the world regarding future shows, according to the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter.
The idea is that WWE wants to gain significant money for premium live events going forward, with Paris being one of the cities that have been in discussions. While it is not confirmed that an event will be taking place in France’s capital, there has been speculation that next year’s WWE Backlash event – which is typically the first PLE after WWE WrestleMania – might be happening in Paris.
WWE already has two overseas shows confirmed for 2024 with Bash In Berlin and WWE’s Elimination Chamber, which will be taking place in Perth, Australia. Meanwhile, it is expected that there will be at least one show taking place in Saudi Arabia as a continuation of the deal WWE has with their government, with the company continuing its worldwide growth.
These negotiations come off the back of several successful international events, with Clash At The Castle, Money In The Bank, and Backlash having all taken place outside of the United States in recent times. Nick Khan has been open in the past about wanting to expand WWE’s reach globally, with countries having recently paid for WWE to host events, with the popularity of them then giving back to the local economy in the form of hotel stays, restaurants, and local bars, making it mutually beneficial.

WWE announced first thing this morning that it will hold its first-ever premium live event in Germany next August. Bash In Berlin will emanate from the Mercedes-Benz Arena in the capital city. Pre-sale registration is now available for European fans and those willing to make the trip overseas from elsewhere, although no further on-sale information has been provided at this point.
This development comes in the wake of WWE expanding its international dates for major events of this nature with Clash At The Castle, Backlash, and Money In The Bank all traveling away from the continental United States as of late. It also marks the second overseas date that WWE has announced for 2024 with Elimination Chamber being hosted in Perth, Australia in February — and that doesn’t even take into account at least one expected show in Saudi Arabia.
WWE is in Germany for a live event tour which commences tonight, hitting Munich, Cologne, and Hamburg over the next few days and ending in Berlin at the same 17,000-seat arena where Bash In Berlin will be held. Nick Khan had previously teased the company was in talks with several international cities for 2024 dates, so this may just be the tip of the iceberg for what WWE has planned heading into next year.
Bash In Berlin will also be the second major wrestling event taking place across Europe next August. AEW had previously announced a return to Wembley Stadium for All In, which will occur just six days prior to the Bash.

On a recent edition of the “WrestleBinge” podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler shared an update on the progress of his recovery from the stroke he suffered this past February.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On his recovery: “I’ve had a bunch of different things and I’m still in rehab three times a week, and probably the main thing that’s drawing me back now, that you can probably tell as you hear me talk, my voice is not the same as it was beforehand. It’s slowly coming back, but it needed to come back a little more before I could make sense with my speech and vocabulary… I really don’t do a lot, just staying around the house and do three rehab sessions a week where I go into the hospital, and then I do some more at home here in Memphis, and that’s pretty much it.”
On working to regain his speech: “One [rehab session] is speech – that’s my main one. That’s three times a week. When I just started this, right after I had the stroke, I could barely talk. Now I go in and I sit down with this rehab lady and we just talk about different things. She has me read stuff, and all of this stuff has just helped me day in and day out getting my vocabulary better.”
On the stroke affecting his ability to sign autographs: “My right arm and my right leg and everything on my right side of the body, it’s not hurt me where I can’t walk around. I can still walk around, but I don’t have really good control of writing my autograph. I can write my autograph pretty good, but I’ve been so proud of my autograph and artistic ability to it, but that’s all sort of taken a while to come back.”
On thanking those who sent him messages of support: “I would like to say thank you for being concerned and worried about my upkeeping and what I’ve had going on. It’s just awesome to know that there are fans out there wondering what am I doing during my time off. It’s nice to talk to them.”
