WWE is doubling down on its return to Hawaii.
After initially announcing one live event in Honolulu this October, WWE has confirmed a second night at Blaisdell Arena following what the company described as strong demand from fans.
WWE will now run back-to-back house shows on Friday, October 16 and Saturday, October 17, marking the promotion's first events in Hawaii since 2019.
The opening night is already close to selling out, with WWE confirming only limited tickets remain for October 16. Tickets for the newly added October 17 event go on general sale Friday, August 21 at 10 a.m. HST, with a presale beginning Wednesday, August 19.
WWE issued the following announcement:
“Due to popular demand, WWE today announced a second live event to its 2026 Hawaii Live Tour on Saturday, October 17 at Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, as part of its highly anticipated return to the Aloha State for the first time since September 2019.”
“WWE will deliver back-to-back nights of non-stop WWE action at Blaisdell Arena – beginning with a nearly sold-out first night on Friday, October 16 – with appearances by WWE Superstars Seth ‘Freakin’ Rollins, The Usos, Jacob Fatu, ‘The Ruler’ Oba Femi, Liv Morgan and more.”
“Tickets for the newly added Saturday live event will go on sale starting Friday, August 21 at 10am HST/4pm ET via Ticketmaster.com. Fans can purchase tickets during an exclusive presale beginning Wednesday, August 19 at 10am HST/4pm ET until 11:59pm HST.”
“Limited tickets for the live event on October 16 are still available via Ticketmaster.com.”
The additional Hawaii date comes as WWE continues increasing its house show output. The company is expected to maintain a busier live event schedule through the fall and winter, giving talent more opportunities to work matches away from weekly television.
WWE's trip to Hawaii will also have a recruitment element.
The company recently maintained a recruiting presence at a fitness event in the state, and WWE has now confirmed that a talent tryout will be staged at Blaisdell Arena ahead of the October live events.
“Prior to the live events, WWE will host a tryout at Blaisdell Arena, providing prospective talent the opportunity to showcase their abilities in front of WWE recruiters, coaches, and executives. Additional details on the event will be announced in the coming weeks.”
That makes WWE's first Hawaiian visit in seven years a significant one, combining two nights of live wrestling with an opportunity to scout potential future additions to the roster.
