Wrestling fans, mark your calendars because WWE is turning up the heat for the latter half of 2024 with a whopping 15 new TV dates for Raw and SmackDown! From coast to coast, the excitement is set to skyrocket as your favorite WWE superstars hit the road for an action-packed tour. Let’s dive into the details!
SmackDown’s Smashing Lineup
Kicking things off, the blue brand, “WWE SmackDown,” will launch its tour at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee on October 4. This show will be the go-home event for Bad Blood in Atlanta the next day. SmackDown will then hit the Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina on October 11, and the Colonial Life Arena on October 18. Next up, the action moves to the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on October 25.
November brings a bit of mystery with the November 1 show still unconfirmed due to Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia on November 2. But fear not, as SmackDown returns to New York on November 8 at the KeyBank Arena in Buffalo. The month continues with shows at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on November 15, and the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah on November 22. The November 29 date remains a mystery for now.
As the holidays approach, SmackDown will ring in the festivities at the Target Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota on December 6, and the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut on December 13. The final two December dates, December 20 and 27, are still under wraps. All these episodes will air on USA Network, marking SmackDown’s return after its current deal with FOX wraps up.
Raw’s Red-Hot Road Tour
Not to be outdone, “WWE Raw” is bringing the heat with six sizzling episodes. The tour starts with the October 21 show at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The fallout show from Crown Jewel is still TBA, but Raw returns on November 11 at the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and then heads to the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona on November 25.
December is all set with three confirmed shows. The red brand kicks off on December 2 at the Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett, Washington. A week later, Raw hits the INTRUST Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas on December 9. Finally, the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts will host the December 16 edition of Raw, likely featuring the big push for John Cena’s retirement tour in 2025, given Cena’s home state ties.
Like SmackDown, all these Raw episodes will air on USA, keeping the excitement alive until the show’s big move to Netflix next year. Tickets for these 15 events go on sale on July 26, with more 2024 events to be announced soon.
