WWE Adds Smackdown to O2 Arena in London Ahead of Money in the Bank
Due to strong response to pre-sale registration for Money in the Bank, WWE has added a second show to the O2 Arena in London: the pre-MITB Smackdown.
WWE Smackdown will emanate live during primetime from London for the first time ever this June. WWE announced in a press release Thursday that, due to "incredible early response for Money In The Bank ticket pre-registrations," the episode of Smackdown before the Money in the Bank PLE will also take place at the O2 arena. Located in Southeast London, the O2 Arena is the second-largest indoor venue in the UK and has hosted many massive concerts and events, including the 2012 Summer Olympics. The Arena seats about 20,000 people, and for WWE to add a second show, they must believe they can sell it out… twice!
