WWE's upcoming schedule is insane, but it may provide clues about future booking plans

After a normal Monday, half the WWE roster will fly overseas - leaving a light crew for Tuesday's SmackDown taping and a crazy schedule ahead for the next couple of weeks with one of the company's semi-annual international swings.

In fact, this time WWE is combining their usual Europe trip with a swing through the Middle East. That means 23 shows in 16 days, across multiple oceans & continents and who knows how many time zones!

Here's the schedule, and who's planned to be where (performers listed on the event page at WWE.com listed in bold - obviously subject to change and not all inconclusive):

If you're not in need of a nap just from looking at it, what jumps out at you in terms of the crews? Any hints at who WWE is pushing or what programs might be in our future?
