-- Both of WWE's traveling crews will be on international tours this week starting tonight through Sunday. The Raw brand will be in Central America and Mexico. The Smackdown/ECW brand will be in Europe.
Raw starts the tour tonight in El Salvador, then travels to Guatemala on Thursday, and finishes the tour with two shows in Mexico. Sunday will be a travel day all the way up to Albany, N.Y. Last weekend, the Raw crew was in Eastern Canada, then flew over 2,000 miles to the Southern U.S. for Raw in Arkansas. The weekend before that, WWE was in Eastern Canada for Breaking Point weekend. It adds up to three straight weekends of extensive travel for the majority of the Raw crew.
Smackdown/ECW will have their first show on Thursday night in Spain before traveling to France for three shows, including back-to-back shows in Paris on Saturday and Sunday. Same deal with the extensive travel, as the Blue Crew hit Eastern Canada for Breaking Point weekend, then Maine last weekend before last night's Smackdown TV taping nearly 2,000 miles south in Oklahoma.
WWE's top stars are being advertised for the international tours. John Cena, Randy Orton, Triple H, MVP, and Cody Rhodes are advertised for the first show in San Salvador, El Salvador tonight. Undertaker, C.M. Punk, Batista, Christian, Chris Jericho, Big Show, John Morrison, and Matt Hardy are advertised for the first Smackdown show in Madrid, Spain.
