WWE Returning to Atlantic City for Live TV Events

After nearly two decades, the stars of the WWE are returning to the boardwalk at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall for two live televised events when Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown make a stop in Atlantic City.

Monday Night Raw airs Mondays on Netflix, and SmackDown airs Fridays on the USA Network.

A Historic Return to Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall

The last time WWE aired a live TV event from the boardwalk was a SmackDown in 2008.

“WWE’s return to Atlantic City marks another exciting chapter in our city’s ongoing evolution as a premier entertainment destination,” said Gary Musich, President and CEO of Visit Atlantic City. “From legendary WrestleMania moments to today’s world-class performances, Atlantic City continues to deliver dynamic, year-round experiences for visitors. Hosting Monday Night Raw at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall underscores our commitment to bringing globally recognized events to the destination and reinforces the energy, excitement, and nonstop entertainment that define Atlantic City.”

Atlantic City’s Storied History with WrestleMania

Boardwalk Hall, which was previously Atlantic City Convention Hall, has a long history with big WWE events, having hosted both WrestleMania IV (1988) and WrestleMania V (1989).

WrestleMania IV featured a 14-man tournament and a 20-man battle royal.  The very next year, in WrestleMania V, the main event featured Hulk Hogan defeating Macho Man Randy Savage for the WWF Championship.
