RAW crew to tour Qatar and Turkey this week

The RAW crew will be leaving for a short three-day tour in Qatar and Turkey which will kick off on Thursday.

On February 21 and February 22, WWE will host two non-televised live events at the Khalifa International Tennis & Squash Complex in Doha, Qatar, followed by another non-televised live event on February 23 at the Ulker Sports Arena in Istanbul, Turkey.

Tours to these countries bring in a lot of revenue for WWE which is why even a short three-day tour across the other side of the world makes sense financially.

WWE starts 3-day tour in Egypt, Mysterio misses out

WWE Superstars and Divas started a three day tour in Egypt today, making it the sixth new country that WWE has traveled to in 2012.

The shows will be held at the Cairo Stadium Complex in Cairo, and live events promoters Creative Design are handling the tour. The same promoters brought WWE to Doha for the first time last year.

One Superstar who did not make it on the tour was Rey Mysterio, who is still stuck at home after a pretty bad stomach virus. He has been out for almost a week and did not wrestle during last weekend’s non-televised events or RAW on Monday. The returning Ted DiBiase replaced Mysterio on the tour.
