Yea I think rare house shows; last time I think was 2017 or 2018
The killer would be if WWE for some reason decides to return to Chicago for Survival Series this year…but bring it to the UC instead. I wouldn’t be mad, would lowkey love it! Allstate would be mad, but they won’t have shyt to say about it
Yeah I remember they had started doing house shows there either for Black Friday or after Christmas. I thought it’d become a yearly thing but I guess notYea I think rare house shows; last time I think was 2017 or 2018

Iirc it was because Rocky Wirtz or whoever ran the UC at the time was cool with someone in WCW and giving them a cheaper rate, Vince took it personal and the rest is history.I dont think WWE has been back to the United Center since opening it with Summerslam 94. Must be something to do with the rental price. WCW and AEW did it and were happy to spend the money.
Edit: Just saw they did one house show in 2018, which is ironic cause thats when house show business was down and that had to be a loss maker. Read some stuff now about it being expensive but Im surprised they didnt run a PPV or a Mania there during the Attitude or Ruthless Agression era.
