The arena has long been a regular stop on WWE tours. It was the site of WWF King of the Ring tournaments four times: from 1987 to 1991, before the event became a pay-per-view, and once after in 1997. In 1994, it hosted the Royal Rumble. On April 25, 1999, the arena was home to the first "" pay-per-view event, and the 2009 edition of the event (the last until 2016) was held there ten years to the day. In December 2005 the arena hosted "WWE Armageddon". The January 13, 2014 edition of "WWE Raw" was filmed at the arena. "WWE Smackdown" filmed two shows at the arena in 2015, on April 21 and August 25. The SmackDown portion of the 2018 WWE Superstar Shake-Up was held at the Dunkin' Donuts Center, while the Raw portion was held at the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut. On October 22, 2018, Roman Reigns revealed his leukemia diagnosis during a "Raw" show held at the arena.
