“We are extremely delighted to be back in Shanghai and offer the ‘WWE LIVE’ experience to Chinese fans for the first time,” said Sweesin Wu, WWE’s Vice President & General Manager, Asia Pacific. “We look forward to showcasing our unique brand of family-friendly entertainment that only WWE can deliver.”

The tour is being branded the “first time” as it is under the ‘WWE LIVE’ banner instead of RAW or Smackdown brands.

This is the third trip for WWE to China after making their initial debut in 2010 at the Shanghai Expo at the Mercedes Benz Arena, a free show available to anyone who attended the expo. In 2012, the Smackdown brand returned for a show at the Oriental Sports Center.

Tickets are available via www.Ticket2010.com.

“Zayed Sports City is delighted to have WWE return to our facility this year. They are truly one of the world’s most popular entertainment brands as demonstrated by three successful shows last year,” added Zayed Sports City’s General Manager Barry Bremner. “The talent that has been lined up this year will be very popular with UAE fans and the show will be exceptional. I would encourage fans to buy tickets early to avoid disappointment.”

The shows will be held on Thursday, October 10, Friday, October 11, and Saturday, October 12, all with a 7PM bell time. Tickets went on sale today at Ticketmaster.ae.

WWE visited Abu Dhabi last year for the first time, setting attendance records for both a single event and a series of three entertainment events.

Following the success of the first WWE show in Moscow earlier this year, WWE announced that next year St. Petersburg will be getting their taste of WWE action along with Moscow on April 25 and 26 respectively. The show in St. Petersburg will be held at the Ice Palace while the Moscow show will be done at the DS Megasport.

The events are being promoted by a joint group of companies – SAV Entertainment and Russian Show-Center. No ticket details have been announced yet.

WWE will be working with Egyptian live events promoter, Creative Design, to bring WWE World Tour to local fans. Creative Design previously brought WWE to Doha, Qatar last year.

“WWE is one of the largest names in family entertainment, and it’s a great honor to hold such an enormous event in a wonderful country like Egypt,” said Assem Al Sheikh, Chairman of Creative Design.

“We’re thrilled to announce this three-day, live event tour in Egypt,” said Ed Wells, Managing Director and Senior Vice President of WWE International. “These shows in Cairo are further testament to the strength and popularity of the WWE brand throughout the MENA region and build on our efforts to expand our business internationally.”

Tickets for the three shows – on October 18, 19, and 20 – will go on sale on September 8 at Ticketsmarche.com or by calling the hotline +2 01008425387.
