WWE is heading back to the UK in September. The company has just announced a 4-show tour from September 19 to the 22nd.
Newcastle – Utilita Arena (Sunday, September 19, 2021)
London – The O2 (Monday, September 20, 2021),
Cardiff – Motorpoint Arena (Tuesday, September 21, 2021)
Glasgow – The SSE Hydro (Wednesday, September 22, 2021)
WWE made a point to note that this will be a “Smackdown tour.” Promotional materials for the tour include only Smackdown roster members. It is rumored that WWE could have a draft that takes place at the end of August or beginning of September, however.
WWE has not been in the United Kingdom since November of 2019. A tour had been scheduled for May of 2020 but was postponed due to the global pandemic.
The tour will conclude with a return to Scotland for former WWE Champion, Drew McIntyre in Glasgow. McIntyre spoke with Talk Sport last year about his goal of bringing a WWE PPV back to the UK.
“This situation has affected a lot of plans, let’s just say things were looking positive and when things are looking a little bit more normal, I’ll be pushing once again because, we’re on the right path and it’s not a case of if it will happen, it’s when it will happen. We’ve just got to roll with the punches right now and eventually we will get that UK PPV we deserve,” McIntyre said in the interview.
