Speaking at the UBS Global Media & Communications Conference, (per Fightful) TKO CEO Mark Shapiro discussed the possibility of other WWE Premium Live Events expanding to two nights.
WWE will expand SummerSlam to two nights next year while having WrestleMania as a two-day event since 2020.
“Definitely opportunities for that. It’s all a progression, a natural evolution. WrestleMania was a big hit for us to expand. As you look at all these PLEs, depending the partner, I think there is absolutely an opportunity to advance some of them to two days. We’re in a good place with our storylines. The way it weaves through is WrestleMania is the culmination and then a new season begins. You use Raw, SmackDown, Saturday Night’s Main Event, the PLEs to all weave a long form story around multiple storylines and characters driving that discussion and narrative. It also gives us the opportunity to launch new names and bring back names.”
