Wrestling hasn’t been held at the United Center since WWE held a live event at the venue on December 29, 2018. There hasn’t been a televised event emanating from the United Center since WCW Thunder on November 8, 2000 (taped on November 6). That show drew roughly 7,000 fans and was headlined by Goldberg defeating Bam Bam Bigelow and Lex Luger.
Fightful will keep fans updated on the event as matches and segments are added.
