WWE Further Reducing Live Events Major Update

WWE

There has been a major update on WWE potentially scaling back even further in 2025 after beginning scaling back in 2024.

It was recently noted that WWE was only hosting a handful more live events for the remainder of 2024, leading to a lot of fans speculating about the future of WWE’s untelevised events.

Speaking at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia & Technology Conference, TKO President Mark Shapiro noted that the company is looking to only host around 200 live events for the year 2025, down from the around 250 they did this year.

He said:

“We’re cutting events at WWE. We’re taking our low-margin, marginally profitable events, untelevised events that Vince put in place to grow the brand, right? You’re taking the show on the road, we’ve gotta go to every city we can get to grow the WWE brand. Well, the WWE brand, while we still have to grow it, it’s on fire right now. We don’t need to carry these marginally profitable events.

“Andrew Schleimer, our CFO and Nick Khan at WWE have been hands on involved with cutting back those events, trimming those events. What was 300 [events] last year will be roughly 250 this year. And next year, we’ll be close to 200.”
