Scottish folk have a strong affinity for pro wrestling, although their passion for football eclipses this. Consequently, some fans anticipate that the OVO Hydro may have a few empty seats when the wrestling company stages its show due to Scotland’s football match against Germany in the Euros.
Last year, the company hosted a pay-per-view event in Cardiff, Wales, which was the first of its kind in the UK since SummerSlam in 1992. Notably, Scotland’s Drew McIntyre is a prominent star in the company, having recently won and lost the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania.
As the wrestling event approaches, fans are curious about the level of attendance for Smackdown in Glasgow. Meanwhile, the football team, led by Steve Clarke, is seeking to improve their performance from the Euro 2020, where they were eliminated at the group stage.
With upcoming games against Switzerland and Hungary, the Scots are aiming to qualify for the knockout rounds for the first time in their history, buoyed by the possibility of advancing as one of the top third-placed teams.
