Great news before your weekend kicks off. The WWE announced Friday that it will resume live event touring in front of people beginning with the July 16 airing of Friday Night SmackDown at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

July 16 will kick start a 25-city tour that runs through Labor Day. Tickets for SmackDown and the following events go on sale Wednesday, May 26 at 11 a.m ET:

  • Friday, July 16: SmackDown, Toyota Center in Houston
  • Sunday, July 18: Money In The Bank – Dickies Arena in Fort Worth
  • Monday, July 19: Raw – American Airlines Center in Dallas

Fans were allowed to return in April for the two-night WrestleMania event. Following WrestleMania, WWE returned to its “ThunderDome,” which includes virtual fans. Believe it or not, the cheering and booing inside the ThunderDome worked well. But like all events, there’s no substitute for the energy and reactions of a live crowd.

We are getting back to normal. We made it.

By the way, whether you are a wrestling fan or not, check out Roman Reigns. He’s the best wrestler in a long, long time.
