WWE may be changing the format of its Premium Live Event.
WWE decided to hold most of its PLEs on Saturdays in 2022, except for the second night of WrestleMania. After decades of holding PLEs on Sunday nights, WWE President Nick Khan issued an edict.
While speaking at the post-show press conference following the UFC Fight Night event in St. Louis, UFC President Dana White announced that WWE will resume holding PLEs on Sunday nights in the near future as part of a new TKO strategy that includes UFC events on Saturdays and WWE PLEs on Sunday.
“Yeah, we already have those dates set up right now, where Power Slap goes Friday and UFC goes Saturday. And then you’re going to see Friday, Power Slap, Saturday, UFC, and Sunday, WWE. You’ll start seeing that stuff, too.”
