Florida: WWE Is Coming To Town 7 Times Over The Next 3 Months

Author Jeff Gorra

This is the time of year to get all your holiday decorations out, but you may want to consider getting all your wrestling gear ready, too. Prior to the main event in January, when the Royal Rumble takes over Tropicana Field, the WWE will be coming to Florida four different times between now and the end of December alone.

This holiday season, families will have ample chances to check out WWE in one form or another throughout various areas of the Florida region. In fact, one of the event stops falls ten days before Christmas, and two of them are in January (in case you are looking for stocking stuffers).

So, let’s jump over the ropes and get right in the ring.

Here are the WWE comes to Florida in December event details

  • Saturday, November 18 – WWE NXT Live at the Venice Community Center
  • Friday, December 1 – WWE NXT Live at the Citrus Springs Community Center
  • Saturday, December 92 – WWE NXT Live at the Tampa University Area Community Complex
  • Friday, December 15 – WWE NXT Live at the Jacksonville Armory
  • Friday, January 26 – WWE Friday Night SmackDown at the Miami Kaseya Center
  • Saturday, January 27 – WWE Royal Rumble at Tropicana Field
  • Monday, January 29 – WWE Monday Night Raw Amalie Arena

If you are interested in a few of these dates and need some pointers in deciding which to attend, there are some differences.

Here Is What You Need To Know

The biggest event of the group is, of course, the Royal Rumble. With Friday Night SmackDown happening in Miami the night before, and then Monday Night Raw also taking place in Tampa right after the Royal Rumble, Florida will be the professional wrestling capital of the world during the first month of 2024.

NXT is essentially the developmental arm of WWE and features up-and-coming wrestlers you may see one day performing for the big titles.

Tickets for NXT Deadline start at $34.45 (plus fees). SmackDown tickets are slightly more expensive, given the bigger brand and bill. They start at $43 (plus fees). There are not many tickets left for the Royal Rumble, however, upper level seats can be found for $125 (plus fees). You can find all the ticket details here.

Lastly, if you want to know which stars you may see at these New England WWE events, so far, the following wrestlers are on the bill. SmackDown has Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins. NXT future stars include Carmelo Hayes and Tiffany Stratton. The main event at the Trop will feature the biggest stars such as Cody Rhodes and Rhea Ripley.

Florida Has One of America's Cheapest Christmas Vacations

Christmas is a time to visit family and friends and get away from the daily grind. The holidays can be a wonderful time, but they can also be very expensive. From buying lots of Christmas gifts for family and friends to having to pay for plane tickets and travel, holiday expenses can really add up. But, the good news is that there are some affordable holiday vacations, and Florida has one of America’s cheapest Christmas vacations.

One good thing about traveling during the winter months is that it’s often the off-season for popular vacation destinations. Of course, the holidays are a busy travel time. That makes late December a difficult time to find a deal for travel. But, if you don’t mind the cold and snow, some northern areas of the U.S. offer very good deals. That’s true even during the Christmas season.

Some tips for finding a good deal for holiday vacationing include searching a lot of booking websites, comparing different hotel dates to find the most reasonable ones and finding bundle deals. Also, keep your eyes open for special deals on resorts and hotels that are just opening. That’s because sometimes, during those opening months, new vacation spots try to attract a loyal clientele by offering special deals. One more tip is to search for airfare rates individually even if you are traveling as a couple or a group. If you put in a search for a group of tickets, the algorithms will often leave out information on one or two cheaper tickets being available. They’ll just send you a group of tickets, sitting together, all at the same price. So, you might get a deal if you search for one ticket, instead.

So, what are the best affordable Christmas vacations in the U.S.? Here are some popular spots that won’t break the bank.

America’s Cheapest Christmas Vacations

  • Frankenmuth, Michigan

    Frankenmuth, Michigan, is the self-proclaimed Christmas capital city of the world. Okay, so many argue that Strasbourg, France, takes that honor, but Frankenmuth is close, and it’s a lot cheaper to get there. No passport needed. The villiage’s Franconian-style architecture has given it the loving name “Little Bavaria.” Frankenmuth is also home to the world’s biggest Christmas store.

  • Lancaster, Pennsylvania

    Lancaster, Pennsylvania, is located in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, and it offers a beautiful view of snowy hills and Amish country. It’s a very old-fashioned type of town, making it a charming winter getaway. There are plenty of fun, holiday-type things to do in Lancaster that won’t break the bank.

  • Las Vegas, Nevada

    You might never guess, but Las Vegas, Nevada, is a great spot for an affordable holiday trip. Think about it. Most people wouldn’t think to go to “Sin City” for Christmas. Of course, it’s much less the “sin” part these days, as Las Vegas offers fun activities for the whole family.

  • Charlotte, North Carolina

    Charlotte, North Carolina, is a great spot to visit in the holiday season, because it’s not as crowded as other times during the year. It’s also less expensive to visit during the holidays and offers beautiful decorations during Christmas. Don’t forget the many holiday markets.

  • Fort Myers, Florida

    Fort Myers, Florida, is a popular destination for snow birds. But, that’s doesn’t mean to skip it during the holidays. If you want to get away from the snow and ice, Fort Myers offers a great escape over Christmas and for prices that are more reasonable than in many other areas of Florida.

  • Boston, Massachusetts

    Boston, Massachusetts, gets cold in the winter, but it also has that classic Christmas charm. It’s a big city with a smaller city feel during the holidays. What’s more, it’s a more affordable winter vacation destination than many other areas, and you won’t have the fight the crowds.
