Move over, Las Vegas — before WWE’s biggest event of the year, the company’s superstars are going international. WWE announced plans for an unprecedented European tour in March 2025, taking the Road to WrestleMania through eleven cities across the UK and Europe. This marks the first time WWE has planned such an extensive overseas tour during the lead-up to WrestleMania.
In 2024 alone, WWE has truly gone global with its Premium Live Events, hosting Elimination Chamber in Australia, Backlash in France, Clash at the Castle in Scotland, Money in the Bank in Toronto, Bash in Berlin in Germany, and the grand Saudi Arabian events King and Queen of the Ring and Crown Jewel. But the company’s not stopping there. Next spring, Raw and SmackDown will pack up their pyrotechnics and charisma for this whirlwind European tour featuring stops in Barcelona, Dortmund, Hannover, Brussels, Bologna, Belfast, Nottingham, Glasgow, Vienna, Amsterdam, and London.
Six of the stops will feature TV tapings, with Brussels, Glasgow, and London hosting Raw, while Barcelona, Bologna, and London roll out the red carpet for SmackDown. This new move signals WWE’s commitment to expanding its global fan base and building the hype around WrestleMania in Vegas like never before.
While WWE’s international tours usually take place later in the year, this Road to WrestleMania adventure promises to add some international flair to their biggest storylines as they move toward WrestleMania 41. Though the European tour will cover most of March, WWE will return stateside for the final two weeks before WrestleMania 41 on April 19-20 — because, let’s face it, nothing says “ultimate showdown” like a little jet lag.
