If you happen to spot a WWE superstar like Asuka, Drew McIntyre or even the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns hanging around the USF campus for the next few months, well there’s a reason why.
News officially broke on Wednesday that beginning on April 12, the WWE will be taking residency at the Yuengling Center on USF’s campus, broadcasting their Monday Night Raw, Friday Night Smackdown and ppv events from the arena for the foreseeable future.
Unable to do shows in front of live crowds last year due to the global pandemic, the WWE unveiled the “Thunderdome” concept last summer, an interactive experience where the stage and ring is surrounded by LED boards that virtually bring fans into the arena.
