Reason WWE Is Bringing Back More House Shows Revealed

WWE announced it will run 10 new non-televised house shows across the United States during July and August as part of its Summer 2026 Tour, marking a return to more live events after years of scaling back following the pandemic. According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the decision is driven by WWE wanting its younger roster to gain more live in-ring experience away from television cameras, with the company believing it's now financially hot enough for house shows to be profitable again. Major names advertised for the tour include Cody Rhodes, Oba Femi, Rhea Ripley, Seth Rollins, Jade Cargill, Trick Williams, and Drew McIntyre, with ticket prices expected to be cheaper than televised events.

Asuka’s WWE Future Now Considered “Unclear” Internally

According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE sources are describing Asuka as "semi-retired" as she returns to Japan to deal with family-related matters, with her WWE future now considered "unclear" internally. The situation developed following Asuka's emotional loss to Iyo Sky at WWE Backlash, where she was seen waving goodbye to fans, and continued on Raw when she told Sky "See you later" before leaving the arena. While Sean Ross Sapp reported that people inside WWE don't believe Asuka has wrestled her final match and she signed a long-term contract extension in 2024, even WWE sources are uncertain about her long-term role or if she will return.

Speculation on WWE Moving Maxxine Dupri Into New Role

According to Dave Meltzer in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Maxxine Dupri's brief appearance sitting in a car with Logan Paul and Austin Theory during The Vision's departure on the May 11 episode of Raw could indicate WWE is considering her for a different kind of television role. Dupri has not had a proper singles match on WWE television since losing to Natalya on the March 16, 2026 episode of Raw and has mostly disappeared from an in-ring role since then. Meltzer noted that WWE may want to keep Dupri involved because of her television presence, even if she is not currently being pushed as a wrestler.
