WWE has announced the lineups for its upcoming European live events. The shows are scheduled for May 28th in Liverpool, England, and June 2nd in Strasbourg, France. Both events will be headlined by Undisputed WWE Champion "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, who will defend his championship against "The Ring General" GUNTHER.

The May 28th event in Liverpool will also feature a Street Fight between Jacob Fatu and Solo Sikoa, as well as an Intercontinental Championship match between Penta and Dominik Mysterio. Additional superstars advertised for the Liverpool event include Oba Femi, Rhea Ripley, Trick Williams, Charlotte Flair, Tiffany Stratton, and Danhausen.

For the June 2nd show in Strasbourg, another Street Fight is scheduled, this time with Jacob Fatu facing Drew McIntyre. The Strasbourg lineup will also include appearances from Seth Rollins, The Vision, Oba Femi, Rhea Ripley, Trick Williams, Charlotte Flair, and Tiffany Stratton. These are the currently advertised matches and appearances for the opening segment of WWE’s European tour.

This tour occurs just days before Clash in Italy, which is set for Sunday, May 31st. It is expected to advance several major storylines related to WWE’s current championship picture and the post-WrestleMania direction. Over the past year, WWE has been expanding its international schedule, with Europe being one of the company’s largest markets for live events outside North America.
