WWE.comWWE and the city of Chicago is a partnership that thrives on energetic crowds and memorable moments inside venues like the Allstate Arena.

UFC.comLast year, WWE aired two episodes of Raw from Chicago, the third-biggest television market in the United States, in addition to the WWE Payback pay-per-view on the WWE Network.
