World Heavyweight Champion Roman Reigns faces a major test this Saturday. He will defend his title against Jacob Fatu at the Backlash premium live event. Fans will not wait long to see him again after that match.
Upcoming WWE Appearances
Reigns will appear on Raw just two nights after Backlash. The event takes place at the Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville, Tennessee. He also holds scheduled dates for Raw on May 18 and May 25. These appearances fulfill his promise to wrestle a full-time schedule this summer.
Changes to June Schedule
Recent reports from Fightful and POST Wrestling suggest some changes for June. The company pulled Reigns from several shows previously listed on their website. He does not appear on promotional material for those June dates anymore. His next confirmed appearance is currently Night of Champions. This event takes place in Saudi Arabia on June 27.
Summer Travel Plans
WWE begins a busy European tour on May 28. They start in Liverpool for a live event. The crew then travels to Barcelona for SmackDown. Shortly after, the company hosts Clash in Italy. This marks the first premium live event held in that country.
The schedule remains fluid as WWE navigates its busy summer tour. They return to the United States on June 12 for SmackDown. Raw follows in Baltimore on June 15. The team travels back across the Atlantic Ocean shortly after that. They continue through Europe before the big show in Saudi Arabia.
