WWE has announced 19 wrestlers for this month's tour of the United Kingdom.
The house show tour is taking place from Sunday, September 19 to Wednesday, September 22. It will feature stops in Newcastle, London, Cardiff, and Glasgow. The Newcastle show is taking place at Utilita Arena Newcastle, the London show is being held at The O2 London, the Cardiff show is at Motorpoint Arena Cardiff, and the Glasgow show is at The SSE Hydro.

This will be the first time the WWE main roster has been to the UK since the COVID-19 pandemic began. WWE was set to hold a UK tour in May 2020, but the pandemic prevented that from happening.

In addition to featuring wrestlers from the SmackDown roster, the tour will be a homecoming for Raw's Drew McIntyre. Raw's Jinder Mahal is also set for the tour and is advertised to face McIntyre in street fights.

Here are the wrestlers who have been announced for the tour:

• SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch
• Drew McIntyre
• Seth Rollins
• Bianca Belair
• Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura
• Rick Boogs
• Apollo Crews
• Baron Corbin
• The Street Profits
• Chad Gable & Otis
• Kevin Owens
• Finn Balor
• Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode
• Rey & Dominik Mysterio
• Jinder Mahal

Universal Champion Roman Reigns and SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos aren't listed for the tour. They'll instead be appearing at Raw's events while the UK tour is going on.

Cards are currently being advertised for the Newcastle, London, and Glasgow shows. The same lineup is listed for all three nights:

• SmackDown Women's Champion Becky Lynch defends against Bianca Belair
• Street fight: Drew McIntyre vs. Jinder Mahal
• Intercontinental Champion Shinsuke Nakamura (w/ Rick Boogs) defends against Apollo Crews
• Finn Balor vs. Seth Rollins
• Rey & Dominik Mysterio vs. Dolph Ziggler & Robert Roode
• Kevin Owens vs. Baron Corbin
• The Street Profits vs. Chad Gable & Otis

How? I thought Europe was basically locking down again, at least with regards to travel. Isn't that basically why Pac can't get back to the states for All Out? Maybe I'm missing something here....

there is no lockdown in the UK - not anymore.

Happy Corbin, hell yes!

Fine lineup for a 4 stop house show tour although very curious they're still doing this.

 

[TeaDrinkingLimey]

Is it even worth coming all this way for 4 shows?
Plus to go from Newcastle >> London >> Cardiff >> and back to Glasgow is a bit silly.

When business is down you go abroad.
