WWE Changes House Show Schedule To Reflect Brand Split

WWE has been back on the road for a while now, but big changes are coming to the promotion’s touring schedule. The company has been running “WWE SuperShow” house shows since live touring resumed. These shows feature talent from both Raw and SmackDown.

The schedule split will begin after Christmas. Raw and SmackDown will tour separately. This allows the company to present house shows in two cities on the same night. The current tour calendar lists several overlapping dates.

The schedule has Raw taking a brief northeastern tour in late December. The SmackDown crew will head to Florida and the mid-Atlantic before finishing up in Buffalo on December 30.

According to PWInsider, there are currently four dates for the Raw brand scheduled. The SmackDown side has a total of five live dates during the same late-December period. The company has a pay-per-view scheduled for January 1.

Here is a look at the schedule. Each of these shows will feature only one of the two brands. There is no word on whether future SuperShows will be lined up.

Raw Touring Schedule

• December 26 – New York, NY – Madison Square Garden
• December 28 – Pittsburgh, PA – PPG Paints Arena
• December 29 – Toronto, ON, Canada – Coca-Cola Coliseum
• December 30 – Montreal, QC, Canada – Bell Place

Smackdown Touring Schedule

• December 26 – Tampa, FL – Amalie Arena
• December 27 – Orlando, FL – Amway Center
• December 28 – Washington, DC – Capital One Arena
• December 29 – Baltimore, MD – Royal Farms Arena
• December 30 – Buffalo, NY – Key Bank Arena

All ticketing and live event information is available via WWE. The new touring schedule takes effect with the start of these shows in late December.
