The WWE Universe in the Evansville area will be packing the Ford Center when SmackDown comes to town in 2023.

It seems like once a year, the Evansville area is treated to a Raw or SmackDown live from the Ford Center. It's always exciting when WWE comes to town. In years past, we have had some pretty epic shows here in Evansville, and in 2023, that will be no different.

As you know, each year, the Road to WrestleMania begins at the Royal Rumble event in January. From there, the landscape of WWE changes and it really is the most exciting time of year to be a fan of WWE. After the Royal Rumble in 2023, we will have WWE Elimination Chamber, which will also set up some big matches for WrestleMania. Less than a week later, WWE's Friday Night SmackDown will be rolling into Evansville.
