Cody Rhodes posts WWE Europe schedule

Cody Rhodes used social media on May 15 to publish the WWE dates he is scheduled to work on the company’s 2026 European swing. The graphic, as recapped by Ringside News, lists 10 appearances from May 28 through June 23 across the United Kingdom, Spain, France, Portugal and Italy. (ringsidenews.com) WWE had already announced the broader European Summer Tour in February, anchored by Clash in Italy on May 31 at Turin’s Inalpi Arena. (corporate.wwe.com) Rhodes’ post matters because it narrows that larger tour to the stops where he says fans can expect to see him. The schedule Rhodes shared includes a mix of televised dates and non-televised live events. (ringsidenews.com) Two of the listed stops are SmackDown broadcasts, and one is the Italy premium live event that WWE has billed as a first for the market. ### Which dates did Cody Rhodes actually list? Ringside News said Rhodes’ posted itinerary begins on May 28 in Liverpool, U.K., then moves to May 29 for SmackDown in Barcelona, Spain. (ringsidenews.com) The next listed stop is May 31 for Clash in Italy in Turin. June makes up most of the run. Rhodes’ graphic lists Strasbourg on June 2, Lisbon on June 3, Madrid on June 4, SmackDown in Bologna on June 5, Rome on June 6, Florence on June 7 and London on June 23. (corporate.wwe.com) ### How does that compare with WWE’s official tour calendar? WWE’s February announcement set out 11 dates for the European Summer Tour, including SmackDown in Barcelona on May 29, Clash in Italy on May 31, Raw in Turin on June 1, house shows from June 2 through June 7, Raw in Paris on June 8 and Raw in London on June 22. (ringsidenews.com) The company’s official list does not match Rhodes’ personal graphic line for line. (ringsidenews.com) Rhodes’ version includes Liverpool on May 28 and London on June 23, while WWE’s February release included Raw in London on June 22 and did not include a Liverpool stop in the published tour list cited above. That difference means Rhodes appears to have posted his own advertised appearances rather than simply reposting WWE’s full Europe itinerary. WWE has not, in the sources reviewed, published a separate article explaining the difference. (corporate.wwe.com) ### Why is Turin the key stop on the list? Turin is the center of WWE’s Europe plans this month. WWE said Clash in Italy on May 31 will be the first Premium Live Event the company has held in Italy, and it also scheduled the June 1 Raw from the same Inalpi Arena. WWE programming has also tied Rhodes directly to that show. (ringsidenews.com) A WWE highlight posted for the May 8 SmackDown said Gunther challenged Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes to a match at Clash in Italy. A separate WWE clip from May 15 was headlined around Gunther signing a Clash in Italy contract with Rhodes before Royce Keys interrupted. ### Which countries are on Rhodes’ route? (ringsidenews.com) The five countries named in Ringside News’ recap are England, Spain, France, Portugal and Italy. Italy accounts for four of the 10 listed dates in Rhodes’ graphic: Turin, Bologna, Rome and Florence. (corporate.wwe.com) Spain has two of the listed stops, with Barcelona and Madrid. The remaining dates are Liverpool and London in the U.K., Strasbourg in France and Lisbon in Portugal. ### What happens next? May 28 is the first date on Rhodes’ posted schedule, with Liverpool listed as the opening stop. (wwe.com) WWE’s official Europe rollout then moves to SmackDown in Barcelona on May 29 and Clash in Italy in Turin on May 31, according to the company’s published tour announcement. (ringsidenews.com)
