Episodes of Monday Night Raw and Friday Night SmackDown may be coming to a city near you this spring.

WWE has announced several new host cities for March and April as part of the company's Road to WrestleMania 42 tour, which will include a return trip to New York City's Madison Square Garden.

These nine dates will almost entirely fill up the calendar ahead of this year's 'Showcase of the Immortals', which will take place on Saturday, April 18 and Sunday, April 19 from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
