Excitement is building as WWE announces its upcoming live show set to hit Bologna, Italy, with a star-studded lineup that promises an evening of adrenaline-pumping action. However, amidst the anticipation surrounding this event, questions loom over the contractual status of Drew McIntyre.
Scheduled for May 1, 2024, WWE Live will descend upon the iconic UNIPOL Arena in Bologna, Italy, treating fans to a spectacle featuring their favorite WWE Superstars from Raw and SmackDown.
In an official statement released by WWE, names like Cody Rhodes, Bianca Belair, Randy Orton, and the reigning WWE Women’s Champion IYO SKY are confirmed to appear. Notably, Drew McIntyre’s inclusion in the lineup raises eyebrows, given the uncertainty surrounding his contract renewal with the company.
Tickets for WWE Live in Bologna, along with exclusive VIP packages offering fans the chance to meet their favorite WWE Superstars, will go on sale starting Friday, February 16. For further updates and ticket information, stay tuned to WWE.com.
The show in Bologna precedes WWE Backlash France, slated to take place at the LDLC Arena in Lyon-Decines on May 4, 2024.
As McIntyre’s current contract edges closer to its expiration, rumored to be shortly after WrestleMania 40 in April, speculation mounts over his future with WWE. Despite being advertised for future events, including Bash In Berlin in August, McIntyre has yet to confirm his continued tenure with the company.
McIntyre’s ongoing storyline, particularly his brewing feud with CM Punk, hints at a prolonged stay with WWE. However, physical confrontations between the two may be delayed until Punk fully recovers from injury, a process expected to span several months.
In the meantime, fans can catch Drew McIntyre in action as he prepares for an Elimination Chamber match on February 24, 2024, in Perth, Australia. Competing alongside formidable opponents such as Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, and LA Knight, McIntyre aims to secure a shot at Seth Rollins’ World Heavyweight Championship at WrestleMania 40 in April 2024.
The stakes are high, and the anticipation is palpable as WWE gears up for another thrilling chapter in its storied history.
