The UBS Global Media & Communications Conference event earlier today featured TKO Group Mark Shapiro as the guest. One of the topics discussed included Shapiro’s thoughts about the possibility of other Premium Live Events in WWE expanding into being two-night shows in the future.
“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.”
