The four-day trip will feature many of the company's top stars, and these shows will most likely be live shows as WWE is set to welcome fans in the UK for the first time since November 2019.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

One of WWE's top European stars, Cesaro, commented on WWE's return to the UK and his past experience of performing there in a recent interview with Louis Dangoor of GiveMeSport.

"I’m so excited." Cesaro said. "Great great cities, obviously Newcastle, London, Cardiff and Glasgow. Great cities, great fans and just to tour again, you know? I miss England, I miss the tours because that’s when we usually talk football, that’s even we can go and watch football games, go to the stadiums and just have a good time."

"That’s when I can bond with people who speak more my language," Cesaro added. "Over here, you try and bring up football or the Euros and people don’t know what’s going on, and I’m just like 'Come on, guys.' I miss it, and I’m so excited to go back."

Cesaro also shared his thoughts on competing for WWE in Europe. He stated that it's simply "the best" and pointed to the fans' passion at the events as one of the elements that make them special.

With #WWE announcing they are going to be returning to the UK in September, @WWECesaro spoke to me about why tours of Europe are "so special" to him personally.✍️ @GiveMeSport/@GMS_WWE https://t.co/YQKzDiw5OF
