Nineteen years ago, WWE held its most recent major event in the United Kingdom when Insurrextion took place at Newcastle’s Telewest Arena. To many wrestling fans, that night has long seemed like ancient history, which is why the news that WWE would be returning to Britain once again in 2022 was celebrated by everyone from squires to scribes, and carpenters to court jesters.
On 3 September 2022, Clash at the Castle, a brand-new WWE pay-per-view almost 20 years in the making, will take place at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium. After 2 decades of waiting, tickets are expected to sell quickly, meaning that the colossal 74,500-seater arena could be packed to the ramparts when the time for combat arrives.
Of course, all great medieval tournaments need competitors, but luckily, WWE’s roster is full of brave warriors and treacherous villains. Armed with a “Spear”, Roman Reigns will be a formidable opponent for anyone who steps in his way, as will the first-ever British WWE Champion Drew McIntyre – a proud Scot who expects to have the home crowd on his side.
"The city of Cardiff is ready for Clash at the Castle, and I know that everyone in Wales, across the UK and around the entire world is ready to make history with us, too," McIntyre said when news of the PPV was announced. "Get your tickets and be part of the magic. I can't wait to hear just how loud Principality Stadium can get."
Tickets for Clash At The Castle start at £39.40, with seats closer to ringside available for £168.75. For those looking to enjoy a weekend befitting a monarch, WWE’s exclusive, official packages begin at £700, and include a variety of perks, such as premium seats, meet and greets, and hotel stays. For instance, with the 360 Front Row WWE Superstar & Premium Hotel Experience, fans can enjoy front-row seats, a 2-night stay at a 5-star hotel, photo opportunities, a Q&A session, a £100 merchandise voucher, and more.
Combining action, artistry, and passion, Clash At The Castle is sure to be a night worthy of any tapestry, so why not make the pilgrimage, cheer your favourites and Bayeux the bad guys, as the noble men and women of WWE put on a show for the (Middle) ages.
