During the Clash in Paris broadcast, WWE announced its return to Europe with an 11-city tour scheduled for January 2026. The tour, branded as the “Road to Royal Rumble,” will serve as the final build-up to the premium live event and will include stops in Germany, the UK, Denmark, and Poland.
The tour will feature four televised broadcasts and seven house shows. Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and ‘Main Event’ Jey Uso are among the names scheduled to appear. The full schedule, including specific venues, is as follows:
- January 8: House Show at Quaterback Immobelien Arena in Leipzig, Germany
- January 9: Friday Night SmackDown at Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany
- January 10: House Show at OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland
- January 11: House Show at Royal Arena in Copenhagen, Denmark

The episodes of Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown from Germany and the UK will be broadcast live on Netflix. The entire tour will lead directly into the 2026 Royal Rumble, which is set to take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
For Jey Uso, the “Road to Royal Rumble” branding carries particular weight. Earlier this year, at the Royal Rumble on February 1, 2025, Uso won the 30-man match to earn a championship opportunity at WrestleMania 41.
