Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins & More Not Scheduled For WWE UK House Shows Despite Originally Being Advertised

The card is always subject to change within professional wrestling and this asterisk has certainly struck fans planning to attend any of WWE's upcoming house shows in the United Kingdom on the Road to Clash in Paris tour.

In addition to Monday Night Raw in Birmingham on August 25, WWE will hold live events across the United Kingdom from August 23 to August 28 with shows in Liverpool, Newcastle upon Tyne, Manchester, Leeds, and Cardiff.

The likes of Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins, Rhea Ripley, Bianca Belair, and Gunther have been used in promotional materials for the tour since it was first announced back in March 2025, but they are no longer scheduled for any of the UK house shows. The other wrestlers on the promotional materials in Tiffany Stratton, Charlotte Flair, and Jey Uso are also currently only being promoted for the post-Raw portion of the tour in Manchester, Leeds, and Cardiff.

Gunther and Bianca Belair are currently dealing with injuries, which would explain their absences from the tour. Why Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins are not scheduled for the house shows is unknown, however.

To add starpower to the non-televised events, WWE have announced CM Punk will be in action at all of the UK house shows. He will challenge Dominik Mysterio for the Intercontinental Title on August 23 in Liverpool. Punk will then team with Sami Zayn and Penta against Judgment Day for the remainder of the live event tour.
