Mall of America® brings back Saturday Night Nitro for a second year of live professional wrestling after high demand

Tickets for Saturday Night Nitro will go on sale Friday, June 23 at 10 a.m.

BLOOMINGTON, MN — June 19, 2023

By popular demand, live professional wrestling will return to Mall of America® on September 9, 2023 in the Huntington® Bank Rotunda. Saturday Night Nitro will be hosted by the Minneapolis-based company, F1RST Wrestling for a second year in a row.

Fans of all ages will get to experience an action-packed night full of performances by some of the top names in sports entertainment from across the world, including the superstars of F1RST Wrestling.

Last year, the Huntington Bank Rotunda was jam-packed with wrestling fans of all ages on September 10, 2022, as Saturday Night Nitro made its iconic debut at Mall of America. Last year’s sold-out event marked the first time that professional wrestling was back in the Rotunda in 27 years. On September 4, 1995, Mall of America hosted the first-ever episode of WCW Monday Nitro, which featured top names such as Hulk Hogan, Sting, Ric Flair, Big Bubba, and so many more fan-favorite entertainers.

“Last year’s epic event was definitely one for the books,” said Chris Grap, Vice President of Experiential at Mall of America. “For years, we heard the countless requests from fans to bring professional wrestling back to the Rotunda. After witnessing the reaction to last year’s event and how quickly it sold-out, we knew we needed to do it again. F1RST Wrestling was the perfect partner to put on this incredible event with, they deliver top-notch entertainment and have built such an amazing and welcoming community. We can’t wait to pack the Rotunda for another iconic night of wrestling.”

Tickets for this event will go on sale to the public beginning Friday, June 23 at 10 a.m. and are anticipated to sell out. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit https://www.mallofamerica.com/events/view/31360
