• WWE SummerSlam will expand to a two-night event in 2025, marking the first Premium Live Event outside WrestleMania to adopt this format.
The move reflects WWE’s evolving event strategy, as TKO CEO Mark Shapiro suggested at the UBS Global Media & Communications Conference, hinting at the potential for other PLEs to follow.
According to WrestleVotes, WWE is reportedly exploring the idea of turning select premium live events into two-night spectacles, with the Royal Rumble being the next contender for this format.
The two-night structure is being considered for the 2026 Royal Rumble, and there is also potential for Money In The Bank to adopt a two-night approach by 2027.
