WWE announced Thursday that it will air “Monday Night Raw” and “Friday Night SmackDown” from the Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The company said they will be its first televised events at the venue in nearly 20 years.
The event will be a double taping of Raw and Smackdown and will take place on June 29.

“Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall and Atlantic City share a rich history with WWE, including hosting WrestleMania IV and V and numerous events over the years,” added Jim McDonald, a member of the Oak View Group and general manager of Boardwalk Hall, in a press release. “We are grateful to partner with Visit Atlantic City, the Atlantic City Sports Commission and WWE to bring two major nationally televised events: ‘Monday Night Raw’ and ‘SmackDown.’ Our team looks forward to welcoming back WWE and its incredibly loyal fan base to Boardwalk Hall and Atlantic City.”
