The last WWE event held in Pittsburgh was an Aug. 5, 2019, episode of “Monday Night Raw.”
WWE was slated to come to town March 16, 2020, for “Monday Night Raw,” but the event was canceled days before the show because of covid mitigation orders. Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto restricted gatherings of more than 250 people in the city, with the order going into effect the day of the scheduled show.
The 2020 show was set to feature appearances from WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, as well as Edge and The Undertaker. Austin’s scheduled appearance was most likely because of the show falling on 3/16, as his popular catchphrase was “Austin 3:16” and the famed pro wrestler is celebrated on that day each year.
