Cody Rhodes Says ‘It’s Not A Secret’ That WWE’s European Live Events Are To Gauge Interest In Potentially Bigger Shows

Cody Rhodes discusses WWE’s European live events, noting that they are to gauge interest in potentially bigger shows on the continent.

In recent years, WWE have hosted several Premium Live Events in Europe, including Clash events in Wales, Scotland, Paris and Italy. Surrounding those shows has usually been a tour of the continent for TV tapings and house shows.

While speaking in a new vlog covering WWE’s latest European tour, Cody Rhodes spoke on touring with the company on the continent.

“It’s a lot of work, but when you’re actually on the tour, you find yourself wanting more tour, and you can tell this is a good one because I think everyone here wants to kind of keep going. There’s a couple guys here who are used to this base, and then there’s people who are completely not used to it, and it’s fun to see them get with it, and it’s a reminder for us how we used to. But I mean, the whole thing’s different because when you’re in a new country, that’s a different responsibility. I think we’ve done really well by all the cities we’ve gone to, particularly feeling them and touching them and having that moment with them individually. Well, I think the biggest takeaway is it’s not a secret that some of these events are potentially to gauge places that WWE can go with a bigger setup, with a bigger show. A PLE like Clash, for example. I don’t think that’s a secret anymore, especially over here, these countries, to a degree, in a very positive manner, have been competing with each other on who’s the loudest. We get the sound meter, the decibel level, and what city could potentially this next big PLE be in. I think that it’s fun to be here on the ground when we’re first going to play, like Portugal yesterday, first going to places that we haven’t been in a long, long time, to see what the love is there, what the levels are. It’s a tribute to what WWE has become. Universally, there hasn’t been a place we’ve gone that hasn’t been losing their mind.”
