WWE expands long-awaited Hawaii return to two nights after strong ticket demand
HONOLULU -- WWE's long-awaited return to Hawaii is getting even bigger.
WWE's return to Hawaii is set to become a two-night spectacle, following overwhelming ticket demand for the initial event. The company's first live show in the state since 2019 will now span two consecutive nights at Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu. The expanded tour marks WWE's 2026 Hawaii Live Tour, with the second night scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 17.
Hawaii holds a significant place in professional wrestling history, with a rich tradition of Polynesian wrestlers who have become major stars in the industry. This includes The Usos, twin brothers Jimmy and Jey Uso, and Jacob Fatu, a member of the renowned Anoaʻi wrestling family. Their presence on the upcoming shows highlights the deep connection between Hawaii and professional wrestling.
The decision to add the second night was prompted by the nearly sold-out response to the initial event on Oct. 16. Tickets for the Oct. 17 show will go on sale on Aug. 21, with an exclusive presale starting on Aug. 19. Additionally, WWE will host a talent tryout at Blaisdell Arena prior to the shows, providing an opportunity for aspiring wrestlers and athletes to showcase their skills in front of WWE recruiters, coaches, and executives.
