WWE talent, crew, and fans will experience a much-reduced touring schedule to kick off the new year. After wrapping up its usual holiday live event tour, WWE is on the road to WrestleMania with no live events from now through mid-March.
Instead, WWE will just run television and premium live events. The possibility of a ticket price increase could be on its way for fans as well. TKO released a graphic of the upcoming WWE events, as seen below:

WWE returns to touring with its European tour, with house shows and TV tapings for both Raw and SmackDown. In the case of Raw, it will air live because it is on Netflix. Here is that schedule:
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 23: Live Event – Nottingham, England
March 24: Raw – Glasgow, Scotland
March 28: SmackDown – London, England
March 29: Live Event – Vienna, Austria
March 30: Live Event – Amsterdam, Netherlands
March 31: Raw – London, England
Earlier in the week, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reported, “Talent that I’ve spoken to are very happy there are no house shows until mid-March.” After decades of WWE relying on gates as its primary revenue source, those days have been surpassed by big money rights fees for WWE’s weekly television, monthly PLEs, and decades of tape library.
