WWE in Mexico

In 2004, WWE made its first tour in Mexico with WWE RAW: Wrestlemania XX Revenge Tour at the Arena Monterrey in the city of the same name. The event, which was also the first house show of the Raw brand, took place on April 3 having as main event a match between Chris Benoit and Triple H, who were in a strong rivalry for the World Heavyweight Championship. After the great success of the Mexican fans, Raw returned in November of that same year.^[1]

On October 17, 2011, the Palacio de los Deportes would host a first live event for Raw.^[2] The event featured a tag team match between John Cena and Jim Ross against then WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio and Michael Cole. Attendance was 14,845. That same week on SmackDown brand, another event was held at the same venue, featuring a match between Sin Cara Azul and Sin Cara Negro; the attendance was 11,000.^[3][4]

WWE was scheduled to return to the country again in 2020, but the tour was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic that began in March of that year. After a two-year hiatus, the promotion returned to Mexico with two events in October 2022, which were both a success.
