Some of you may know the American Nightmare, others may know what a suplex is... Or maybe you just like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson movies.

Either way, the WWE is one of the biggest sports entertainment shows around.

And now there will be more chances to see it in the UK after WWE announced it is bringing more shows to the UK and Europe in 2025, in the build up to Wrestlemania.
