Get ready, pro wrestling fans. World Wrestling Entertainment is coming back to Denver on Labor Day weekend with back-to-back shows.

The NXT No Mercy premium live event will take place on Sunday, Sept. 1, at Ball Arena, the company announced Monday. This is the first NXT premium live event to come to the Mile High City and it’s the first WWE one since Vengeance on July 27, 2003.

On Sept. 2, WWE Raw will air live from Ball Arena. The company also announced that NXT Halloween Havoc and WWE Raw will take place at GIANT Center in Hershey, Pa., on Oct. 27 and 28, respectively.

“We look forward to returning NXT to the road and delivering an unforgettable night of action to the amazing fan bases of Denver and Hershey, and for those watching at home,” WWE senior vice president of talent development creative Shawn Michaels said in a news release.

Denver’s been host to some memorable moments in WWE history. The Rock made a surprise return to the company last September when he appeared on “SmackDown,” kicking off a run that culminated with a feud involving Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins that finished at WrestleMania 40. Goldberg returned after a 12-year absence from the company on the Oct. 17, 2016, of Raw, which also featured an appearance from then-Gov. John Hickenlooper in the crowd.
