Ronda Rousey will headline WWE’s upcoming European tour in April. The company announced on Thursday morning that they would be running shows overseas starting on April 28 in the UK and ending on May 1 in Germany. The full European tour schedule is as follows …

Newcastle – Utilita Arena (Thursday, April 28, 2022)

London – The O2 (Friday, April 29, 2022)

Paris – Accor Arena (Saturday, April 30, 2022)

Rousey will make her overseas return on this tour along with other Smackdown talent including Charlotte Flair, Sasha Banks, Big E, Drew McIntyre, Sami Zayn, Sheamus, and Shinsuke Nakamura. Tickets for the Paris and Leipzig shows are on-sale now. The London and Newcastle tickets go on-sale to the public on Monday. Matches for the tour have not been announced at this time.

Rousey is scheduled for a prominent match against Charlotte Flair for the WWE Smackdown Women’s Championship on night one of WrestleMania 38. Rousey returned to the WWE at the Royal Rumble in January and won the women’s Royal Rumble match. Rousey teased facing Becky Lynch for the Raw Women’s Championship at WrestleMania, but ultimately settled on Flair. Since returning, Rousey has had two matches — a tag team match at Elimination Chamber with Naomi against Flair and Sonya Deville, and then a Smackdown main event last week against Deville in a singles match.

Ronda Rousey is a former WWE Raw Women’s Champion and was a part of the first women’s main event at WrestleMania 35 in New York.
