WWE Considering Major Changes To Premium Live Events

WWE is determined to keep growing.

Back in September, it was announced that SummerSlam 2025 would take place across two nights for the first time in the event’s history. The first-ever SummerSlam was held in 1988 following the creation of WrestleMania and then Survivor Series.

The move is the latest expansion of a major Premium Live Event, following WrestleMania’s shift to two nights in 2020.

During a recent appearance, TKO Executive Mark Shapiro suggested more PLEs could be expanded, and now a new report has added more details on these plans.

WWE PLEs To Get Even Bigger

As noted on WrestleVotes Radio via SportsKeeda’s Backstage Pass Patreon, the Royal Rumble and Money In The Bank could be next in line to move to two nights.

So, in a follow-up, we were told the WWE is indeed considering making certain PLEs two nights, with the next option being the Royal Rumble event. We are told WWE considered this option for Indianapolis this year but decided to hold off for a few different reasons. It is on the table for 2026. Some within the company expect it to be two nights in 2026.

In addition, a source states that Money in the Bank could be headed to multiple nights by 2027 as well. TC, it seems like they’re going to advance these PLEs to two-night formats, where the card kind of does that form for the Royal Rumble. Easy, one night is a men’s Royal Rumble main event. The next night is a women’s main event.

Same with Money in the Bank. The ladder match could headline night one for the women, and night two could be for the men.

Meanwhile, it’s believed that after Raw moves to Netflix on January 6th, both the red brand and SmackDown will have a runtime of three hours.
