Elimination Chamber 2025: WWE visiting Rogers Center after two decades
Elimination Chamber 2025 will mark WWE’s first visit to the Rogers Centre in over two decades. The last time WWE held an event at Rogers Centre (formerly known as SkyDome) was WrestleMania 18 in 2002. The headliner match of that evening was the iconic “Icon vs. Icon” match between Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Hulk Hogan. WWE also hosted WrestleMania VI in 1990 with the historic main event match between Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior.
Canada has been getting some back-to-back WWE premium live events for the time being. Before Elimination Chamber 2025, the Rogers Place in Vancouver hosted Survivor Series 2024, last weekend whereas in July, Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena hosted Money in the Bank PLE.
