WWE’s Glasgow Shows Earn Praise from Venue Partner

One big thing: WWE impresses with professionalism in Scotland

The OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland, has lauded WWE for its “incredibly slick and professional” approach during recent events.

The details:

• WWE hosted SmackDown and Clash at the Castle at the OVO Hydro on June 14 and 15.
• James Bruce, OVO’s Head of Live Entertainment Programming, praised the partnership.
• The events were planned and executed on a tight timeline.
• WWE transformed the Scottish Event Campus into a full WWE event hub.

What they’re saying:

“We learned a lot by being partnered and working with WWE,” Bruce told Access All Areas.

Why it matters:

This successful collaboration could lead to more high-profile wrestling events in Scotland, potentially expanding WWE’s European presence.

By the numbers:

• 2 WWE events hosted (SmackDown and Clash at the Castle)
• 1 weekend of WWE programming
• Multiple areas maximized, including marketing and technical aspects

The bottom line:

The events were “a great success,” according to Bruce, with the OVO Hydro now looking to host “more shows of this style.”
