WWE announces UK 2023 tour with Liverpool, Newcastle, Cardiff dates and more

WWE has announced it will return to the UK and Ireland in June 2023 with six live wrestling shows featuring stars from both the Raw and SmackDown brands.

Liverpool will play host to the first of four new dates with top stars from Raw coming to the M&S Bank Arena on June 28. Tickets for the Liverpool dates will be on sale here from Friday, with prices starting at £28.

While WWE doesn't confirm exactly who will be appearing on the cards until much closer to the time, Raw wrestlers who are advertised as taking part in the tour include Seth Rollins, Bianca Belair, Bobby Lashley, Kevin Owens and Matt Riddle alongside tag teams Damage CTRL and The Street Profits.

WWE finishes the UK leg of their tour with a return to Cardiff for the first time since their huge stadium event Clash at the Castle, but will take in Newcastle, Sheffield and Belfast before their trip to the Welsh capital.

SmackDown stars taking part in the shows include Honorary Uce Sami Zayn, The Usos, Liv Morgan, Drew McIntyre, Braun Strowman, The Brawling Brutes, Imperium and new NXT Tag Team Champions The New Day. The return to Cardiff will be bittersweet for McIntyre in particular.

The Scotsman fought in the main event at the iconic show against champion Roman Reigns and ultimately ended up defeated after an action-packed bout which included interventions from Karrion Kross, Solo Sikoa, Austin Theory and - most surreally of all - Tyson Fury, who delivered both a knock-out punch to Theory and a post-match singalong, pre-empting his attempt to clinch the Christmas number one slot with a cover of Sweet Caroline.

As well as the run of shows in June and July, there are some tickets still available for post-Wrestlemania 39 Raw shows at Birmingham, Manchester and Belfast. Tickets for all shows on the tour go on sale on Friday (December 16) from 9am on Ticketmaster here.
