Triple H thanks fans in Germany following WWE Raw, SmackDown
Paul “Triple H” Levesque sent out a message today thanking fans in Germany for their hospitality while hosting the most recent episodes of WWE SmackDown and Raw.
On WWE’s ongoing European tour, Berlin hosted SmackDown last Friday and Dusseldorf hosted Raw this Monday. Levesque called both cities “incredible” and said he’s already excited to come back the next time WWE holds shows there.
Thank you to everyone who made #Smackdown & #WWERaw in Berlin & Düsseldorf special. Two incredible cities to host @WWE’s first international TV events of 2026.

WWE still has one more stop in Germany on this tour, a house show that’s being held in Mannheim today. The company then heads to the United Kingdom for SmackDown in London, England this Friday and Raw in Belfast, Northern Ireland next Monday.
The SmackDown event in Berlin saw a huge title change with Drew McIntyre defeating Cody Rhodes in a Three Stages of Hell match to become the new WWE Champion. McIntyre will be on Friday’s show in London for his first SmackDown appearance as champion.
This European tour is happening in advance of the 2026 Royal Rumble, which is taking place from Saudi Arabia on Saturday, January 31. WWE is also heading to Canada for a few events before the Rumble, including Saturday Night’s Main Event in Montreal on January 24.
