Once the Wrestlemania season gets over, WWE will start preparing for the half-yearly United Kingdom tour.
Every year, this happens twice in April-May and November. The company had already published the schedule of the tour on their official website which suggests two superstars from WWE Raw will be back following the biggest event of the year.
The advertisements of the Live Events in Ireland and UK suggested Samoa Joe and Jason Jordan will come back onboard after missing in-ring competition for the last couple of months. They are likely to miss Wrestlemania and will be brought back on TV only when the new storyline angles kick off.
Samoa Joe suffered an ankle injury on an episode of WWE Raw while competing in a match against Rhyno. He was supposed to start a rivalry against John Cena at that point which was about to culminate a Wrestlemania match, as well. But, the ankle injury turned out to be a fatal one which sidelined him for an indefinite time-span.
Also, Jason Jordan was in a confused situation with the neck injury that he suffered back at the beginning of this year. It forced the team of Rollins and Jordan to drop the tag team titles to Cesaro and Sheamus at Royal Rumble. With these given advertisements, it looks like, he will be okay within April.
