Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes will finally be face-to-face at the upcoming WWE SmackDown show. The WrestleMania main eventers will be welcomed by a huge audience, characteristic of wrestling events at the arena formerly known as the Verizon Center.
The March 3, 2023, episode of WWE SmackDown will emanate from the Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. Located in the busy neighborhood of Penn Quarter, it is the home of the National Hockey League (NHL) team the Washington Capitals, and the Washington Wizards of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Besides being a hub for basketball, the Arena has a close connection with pro wrestling, which dates back to WCW Starrcade 1997. WWE’s flagship shows, including the Main Event, are regular occurrences at the venue. It also hosted the first televised AEW Dynamite show and the 1000th episode of WWE SmackDown.
