Kevin Owens announces new WWE Canadian tour dates
WWE is heading up to Canada for three shows this August.
Enlisting the help of the injured Kevin Owens to deliver the news, WWE announced this morning that it has added three Canadian dates to the company’s summer schedule. One of the events is a house show, while the others are SmackDown/Raw episodes.
Here are the full details:
- Thursday, August 20: Summer tour live event at Canada Life Place in London, Ontario
- Friday, August 21: SmackDown at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario
- Monday, August 24: Raw at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario
Tickets for the events are going on sale to the general public this Friday (May 8) at 10 a.m. Eastern time. A pre-sale will begin on Thursday at that same time.
WWE had Owens post a social media video announcing these events. Owens underwent neck surgery in 2025 and has now been out of action for more than a year. There has been no definitive word on when he’ll be able to return to the ring.
In the video, Owens joked that he hasn’t been doing much while out of action and has just been walking around aimlessly. He ended with a message telling the fans how much he misses them.

“So go buy the tickets, go to the shows, have a blast,” Owens said. “I really miss you guys, and I mean that 100 percent. Take care.”
Owens turns 42 years old this Thursday. While out of action, he’s taken on a coaching role on the new season of WWE LFG that recently premiered on A&E.
