TKO President Says There Is 'Definitely An Opportunity' For More Two-Day WWE PPVs
Could we see two-day WWE PLEs beyond WrestleMania and SummerSlam?
Dec 10, 2024
TKO - the parent company of WWE - are open to presenting more two-day WWE pay-per-views/premium live events.
That is according to TKO President Mark Shapiro, who told Ryan Gravett of UBS:
"There’s definitely an opportunity for that. You know, it's all a progression, a natural evolution. WrestleMania was a big hit for us to expand. I think as you look at all these PLEs, again, depending on the partner, I think there's absolutely an opportunity to advance some of them to two days.
"Remember, the way it kind of weaves through is WrestleMania is the culmination of everything. And then kind of the new season begins and you use Raw and you use SmackDown and you use Saturday Night's Main Events and then you use the PLEs all to really weave a long-form story around multiple storylines and characters.
"It's very sticky. Paul Levesque just does such a phenomenal job creatively, working with Lee Fitting as well. And their teams that draft these scripts where all these superstars want to come back. I mean, WWE is the ultimate. It's the Tiffany product in the space."
Plans are already in place to make SummerSlam a two-night event from 2026 but WWE may expand their biggest pay-per-view of the Summer to two nights from 2025.
WrestleMania has been held over two nights since WrestleMania 36 in 2020. WrestleMania 41 will be held on April 19 and April 20, 2025 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. Tickets are available now for the event.
