WWEs deal with ESPN has led to them debuting the Wrestlepalooza Premium Live Event. While WWE has a solid event calendar, ESPN executives have addressed potentially adding more PLEs in the future.
While speaking during the WWE-ESPN media call, an ESPN executive was asked if the company might add new WWE Premium Live Events to the schedule, such as in December when only Saturday Night Main Event is currently planned on Peacock.
The executive explained that any additions would come from future scheduling talks with WWE. He said ESPN understood what they were signing up for when they acquired the PLE rights and values them highly.
These events are key to driving ESPNs direct-to-consumer business. He added that ESPN is excited about WWEs current PLE lineup and is open to discussions about expanding or evolving the schedule if those opportunities come up.
Right now, ESPN is focused on making the most of WWEs current Premium Live Events. But company leaders are open to adding more events in the future if talks with WWE head that way. So its apparent that fans might not have to wait long to see new major shows added to the WWE calendar.
