Fans may not have seen WWE live on television during the holidays, but the Stamford-based promotion's roster has remained busy. The company's Holiday Tour began on December 10 and resumed on the 26th after a brief break. However, they're not done yet.
On December 28, 2023, the WWE Holiday Tour house shows for the RAW and SmackDown rosters will take place in two different locations. The red brand's stars will perform at Place Bell in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. On the other hand, the talents from the Friday night program will perform at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.
The Quebec show will feature Seth Rollins defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre and Shinsuke Nakamura in a triple threat match. Cody Rhodes and Damian Priest will battle in a Street Fight match. Other stars advertised for the event are Sami Zayn, Rhea Ripley, Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio, Ricochet, and more.
