WWE lands major Toronto sports deal with wrestlers coming to several Leafs games
The WWE is coming back to Toronto — and it’s bringing a piece of exciting news for local fans as well.
On Wednesday, MLSE announced a long-term strategic partnership with the WWE, allowing the world’s biggest wrestling company close access to things like merch collabs, athlete appearances and community events.
WWE seems to have recognized Toronto’s place as a major player on the global wrestling scene, and wants to create a more formal partnership with the city’s biggest sports ownership group.
The partnership also comes with the announcement of the next show in Toronto, a Monday Night Raw event on Monday, Jan. 26, 2026.
“Collaborating with an iconic organization like MLSE is a natural extension of WWE’s deep and growing connection with Toronto, which has included recent major events like Money in the Bank in 2024 and Elimination Chamber in 2025, and allows us to create new and authentic experiences for fans to reinforce our long-term commitment to the region,” said Alex Varga, co-head of revenue at WWE.
One of the pieces of the deal comes with the news that select WWE stars will appear at Leafs games on Sunday, Jan. 25, and Tuesday, Jan. 27, with Toronto sports personalities also in attendance at Monday Night Raw.
“MLSE and WWE have a long and strong history together, teaming up many times over the years to create iconic entertainment moments for our fans, and we are thrilled to expand our partnership with WWE, a global leader in sports and entertainment, to create world-class content and build on Toronto’s standing as a leading market globally,” said MLSE Chief Business Officer Phil King.
