2025 kicked off with a noticeable shift in WWE’s touring schedule: no live events outside of TV tapings, and it seems the wrestlers couldn’t be happier.

According to Sean Ross Sapp, WWE talent has expressed their relief over the break from the grueling house show schedule. “Talent that I’ve spoken to are very happy there are no house shows until mid-March,” Sapp reported.

While WWE live events usually keep fans engaged between major shows, the new approach delays non-televised events until the Road to WrestleMania kicks off in Europe in March. The revamped schedule offers stars a chance to rest and recharge before the high-stakes WrestleMania season.

WWE’s European tour will feature both house shows and international TV tapings, with stops in:

  • March 14: SmackDown – Barcelona, Spain
  • March 15: Live Event – Dortmund, Germany
  • March 16: Live Event – Hannover, Germany
  • March 17: Raw – Brussels, Belgium
  • March 21: SmackDown – Bologna, Italy
  • March 22: Live Event – Belfast, Northern Ireland

  • March 28: SmackDown – London, England
  • March 29: Live Event – Vienna, Austria
  • March 30: Live Event – Amsterdam, Netherlands
  • March 31: Raw – London, England

This strategic shift not only gives the WWE Universe something to look forward to but also eases the relentless travel demands on talent, aligning perfectly with the Road to WrestleMania’s epic buildup.
