WWE Sets Hawaii Return for First Live Event Since 2019

WWE is heading back to Hawaii.

The wrestling giant will return to Honolulu on Friday, October 16, bringing its 2026 Live Event Tour to Blaisdell Arena and ending a seven-year absence from the islands.

The event will mark WWE’s first live show in Hawaii since September 22, 2019, when the company also took over Blaisdell Arena.

WWE is already lining up a star-studded roster for the October return, with Seth “Freakin” Rollins, The Usos, Jacob Fatu, “The Ruler” Oba Femi and Liv Morgan among the names announced for the card. Additional WWE Superstars are expected to appear.

Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, August 14 at 10 a.m. HST/4 p.m. ET here. An exclusive presale gets underway two days earlier, Wednesday, August 12 at 10 a.m. HST/4 p.m. ET.

WWE will also use its Hawaii return to scout its next generation of talent.

Ahead of the live event, the company plans to hold a WWE tryout at Blaisdell Arena, giving prospective wrestlers the chance to perform in front of WWE recruiters, coaches and executives. Further details on the tryout are expected in the coming weeks.

The Honolulu stop adds another destination to WWE’s 2026 touring calendar as the company continues to take its live product to markets around the world — and, in Hawaii’s case, back to a fanbase that hasn’t hosted a WWE event in seven years.
