The potential of WWE running more house shows has been a topic of conversation for multiple top superstars in 2026, including WWE Champion Cody Rhodes.

The American Nightmare revealed on an episode of his "What Do You Wanna Talk About?" podcast that he has been pitching house show ideas to the higher-ups in WWE, believing that the extra reps could be beneficial for a myriad of reasons.

“It’s hard to think you work somewhere if you’re only there a couple of days a week, right? Versus the schedule for when we first started, where it was full tours, live events, then you come to TV," Rhodes said. “I had suggested... run one weekend a month, call them house shows. Poke the fourth wall a little bit in terms of what they are. They’re canon, but they’re not. You’re going to see some of the stuff you see on TV, but it’s going to be a bit more of a mixed bag."

Multi-time WWE Women's Champion Bayley spoke to the Toronto Sun earlier this year about the benefit of house shows, even with the added travel and time away from home.

"I miss them," Bayley admitted. "I feel it helps with longevity... because we had that experience. It’s very different than TV. TV is stressful. You have to hit these times and camera angles. Sometimes, you don’t always have a match on TV. It could be a promo or backstage, but if you get your reps in on the live events, it makes a world of difference."

Numerous WWE Superstars will now be getting those extra reps during a busy summer travel season, which includes Premium Live Events in Italy, Saudi Arabia, and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
