In case you didn’t know...
WWE tends to use the “slow” time (as if any time in WWE is “slow”) after WrestleMania to hit the markets overseas. This also marks the first International trip for the Hardys together in nearly a decade.
The heart of the matter
The tour runs until May 14th, and features tape-delayed episodes of both Raw and Smackdown Live, as well as 205 Live and tapings for the WWE Network’s new UK based weekly series.
Raw will be held on May 8th, at the O2 in London, while Smackdown hits that same location the next night. The UK show tapings will be held at Epic Studios in Norwich, England on both May 6th and 7th.
The tour ends with a WWE Live Event in Copenhagen, Denmark. NXT will be staying home for the tour, however. You can get tickets for all these shows and more at WWE.com.
Author’s take
As a WWE fan in the US, it’s always fun to see what the company cooks up for their shows across the sea. For the last few years though, it hasn’t felt like WWE has really made much of an attempt to take advantage of the new locale.
Aside from a British-style taxi cab or phone booth on the stage and the smattering of Premier League jerseys being worn in the crowd, you could barely tell the show was being held in London. That being said, it’s always great when WWE fans outside of the US get a chance to see their favourite shows live.
