WWE’s Big UK Gamble Isn’t Paying Off As Planned

WWE’s Big UK Gamble Isn’t Paying Off As Planned

Ahead of tickets actually going on sale, various WWE superstars, including Cody Rhodes, talked up how much demand there already was for the event. That may have been the case when Clash At The Castle was initially announced, but a lot of that interest quickly gave way to irritation and, in some cases, anger, over the cost of attending. Lack of sales momentum can’t be blamed on the talent at this juncture. WWE has put the majority of its media might behind turning Roman Reigns into a must-see attraction but expecting more than 70,000 people to shell out north of $200 to watch him wrestle is a huge ask.

Drew McIntyre will likely be featured heavily leading up to the show given that he’s from the United Kingdom, but prodigal-son-returns-home only goes so far when the cost is that high. Even if fans end up with a McIntyre vs Reigns main event at Clash at the Castle, is there any reason to believe that the hometown hero will go over in that fight? It just seems like another attempt at giving Reigns a financial feather to stick into his cap. For fans in the United Kingdom who’ve been waiting for this long for a major event, these ticket prices from WWE are a bitter pill to swallow.
