WWE announced Thursday morning that episodes of Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown will be coming to 16 different cities across the country this summer. Among them, a joint taping in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Monday, June 29.

These will mark the first televised events to emanate from Atlantic City in nearly two decades, with America's Playground having previously hosted WrestleMania V, WrestleMania IV and other WWE live shows.

“WWE’s return to Atlantic City marks another exciting chapter in our city’s ongoing evolution as a premier entertainment destination,” said Gary Musich, President and CEO of Visit Atlantic City.

“Atlantic City continues to deliver dynamic, year-round experiences for visitors. Hosting Monday Night Raw at Jim Whelan Boardwalk Hall underscores our commitment to bringing globally recognized events to the destination and reinforces the energy, excitement, and nonstop entertainment that define Atlantic City.”

These will be the first shows coming out Night of Champions, which will be held on Saturday, June 27 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Recording that episode of SmackDown, which will presumably air at its normal 8 p.m. ET (7 p.m. CT) time slot on Friday, July 3, will give WWE talent and staff the holiday weekend off on the heels of a lengthy European tour.

It was announced earlier in the day on Thursday that WWE added two stops in London, UK to the end of that tour, which includes a SmackDown taping on Tuesday, June 23, ahead of Night of Champions.

New York, Chicago, Detroit and Los Angeles were among the cities added to the summer tour in the United States. Members of the WWE Universe can purchase individual event tickets during an exclusive presale starting Thursday, May 14 at 10 a.m. local time. Tickets and event information can be found on WWE's website.
