WWE has gone global in the past few years, and it looks like the juggernaut won't stop anytime soon. The promotion unveiled a historic lineup for its primary shows in 2025.
Next year will be a crucial one for the Stamford-based promotion as the red brand is heading to Netflix. The popular streaming platform will be the home of Monday Night RAW, and the management has made a few significant moves to attract more viewers and fans across the world.
Today, WWE announced a historic slate of Monday Night RAW and Friday Night SmackDown shows, which takes place outside the United States heading into WrestleMania 41 in Las Vegas. The slate was unveiled during the pre-taped RAW after Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia.
The tour begins on March 14 next year and goes on till March 30, as three RAW and SmackDown episodes each will take place in Spain, Belgium, Italy, Scotland, and England, including a few live events along the way.

WWE held 8 PLEs outside the United States in 2024
The company has changed under Triple H's era as premium live events have a different feel compared to the older regime. Earlier this year, the roster headed to Perth, Australia for WWE Elimination Chamber 2024.
A few months later, the first four PLEs after WrestleMania XL, i.e. Backlash, King & Queen of the Ring, Clash at the Castle, and Money in the Bank, took place in France, Saudi Arabia, Scotland, and Canada, respectively.
Moreover, the go-home editions of Friday Night SmackDown also took place in the same arenas before the premium live events on Saturdays. After a few weeks of working in the United States, the roster went to Germany for Bash in Berlin.
In November 2024, the company had two final international dates remaining for the year. Crown Jewel 2024 took place in Saudi Arabia last night. Survivor Series: WarGames will take place in Vancouver, Canada later this month.
