WWE & Chicago
One of the great wrestling cities of the United States, WWE unsurprisingly has a deep history with the Windy City. In addition to being the home of CM Punk, Chicago is also the hometown of Punk’s wife AJ Lee, Cora Jade, David Otunga, and The Final Temptation’s Scarlett.
WWE has held plenty of Premium Live Events from Chicago including one-third of WrestleMania 2 in 1986. WWE’s most recent PLE in the Windy City was Survivor Series 2019. The tri-branded show saw matches pitting Raw, SmackDown, and WWE NXT Superstars against each other with the gold brand coming out on top.
Let’s Play Ball!
John Cena recently made his Minor League Baseball debut as part of the popular Savannah Bananas comedy team. At the team’s venue, ‘Bananaland’ Cena showed up in uniform and delighted the fans at the event who are used to seeing wacky, random moments from the Bananas. Unfortunately for Big Match John, Baseball won’t be his next big break as he struck out at Bananaland.
