It's been over 14 months since the WWE worked a regular touring schedule. But beginning in July, the company will gradually return to normal.

WWE will resume touring for the July 16 episode of SmackDown. That show will take place, in front of a live crowd, at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas. The July 18 Money in the Bank pay-per-view will be held at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, and the following episode of Raw will take place at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.

Mike Johnson of PWINsider.com provided some details regarding the backstage reaction for the return to touring. Here's what Johnson reported:

"There's a lot of excitement about going back on the road among the talents. Some are hopeful for bumps from merchandise royalties from live events. Others are being cautious in expectations on how the shows will draw and there is a lot of interest in how the initial shows sell when they go on sale Wednesday, especially Money in the Bank as it's a PPV show."

WWE went over a year without having a live audience for its shows. After the March 11, 2020 episode of NXT, the company relocated its shows to the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida with no fans in attendance. This included WrestleMania 36, which was initially scheduled to take place at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Bay.
