Arena Refuses To Do Business With AEW Due To WWE Relationship
Added 2020-02-17 00:26:09 +0000 UTCAEW's Cincinnati options are a little more limited than they'd originally planned.
We were told that the former U.S. Bank Arena, Heritage Bank Arena, wouldn't do business with All Elite Wrestling because of their relationship with WWE. The arena is one of the top in the Cincinnati area, and actually caught fire during a WWE show back in 2012.
Jon Moxley has actually been pushing AEW to run a show in the Cincinnati area in the fall, and told us that he prefers the Ohio side of things for the event. Moxley, and others local to the area were hopeful that the brand would be able to run Heritage Bank Arena, which sits next to the Cincinnati Reds and Cincinnati Bengals stadiums
