WWE returning to Japan for tour

[Dale]

Someone did some digging and supposedly there's no confirmed location already for SmackDown on that 26th July so there might be a chance this could make it.​

(Thu) Osaka Edion Arena 7.26
(Fri) Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan 7.27
(Sat) Tokyo Ryogoku Kokugikan

Those are the locations if the translation is accurate

The Fri/Sat arena is what's commonly known as Sumo Hall btw. NJPW runs the other in Osaka often too

STAMFORD, Conn., May 21, 2024 – WWE, part of TKO Group Holdings, today announced a long-awaited return to Japan with three live shows this July. The first show will take place at the Edion Arena in Osaka on Thursday, July 25. WWE Superstars will then return to perform in Tokyo for the first time since 2019, with back-to-back shows at the Ryogoku Arena on Friday, July 26, and Saturday, July 27.

These events will mark WWE’s first return to Tokyo in five years, and the first return to Osaka in six years. WWE has a rich history of live events in Japan dating back to 1994.

Fans attending the WWE Supershow Summer Tour will see their favorite WWE Superstars in action including “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes, Shinsuke Nakamura, Drew McIntyre, Bobby Lashley, IYO SKY, The Kabuki Warriors, and many more*.​

No mention of a potential SmackDown show

This is also the week before Summerslam so not the best time to do a PLE, I can see on in Japan soon though.
