The website for The United Center in Chicago, Illinois is now advertising WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar for the Road to WrestleMania Live Event on March 3rd, 2018.
This marks WWE’s first time holding an Event at the United Center since the company held SummerSlam 1994 at the venue when it first opened. WCW used to use the United Center regularly holding Nitros, Thunders, and Spring Stampede 2000 there from 1997 through the end of 2000.
The United Center and WWE released the following promotional video hyping their return to the venue:
WWE usually runs Events at the Allstate Arena, but Monster Jam has the Allstate Arena booked that entire week in March. This most likely lead to WWE to use the United Center instead.
Below is the Event advertisement for the Event which can be found on The United Center’s website:
WWE will return to the United Center for the first time in over 20 years on Saturday, March 3!
