RUMOR: WWE Moving PLE’s Back To Sundays

This is only a rumor, so take it for what it’s worth. While speaking at the post-show press conference following the most recent UFC Fight Night event in St. Louis, UFC President Dana White noted that WWE will be moving their PLEs back to Sundays.

He said the following:

“Yeah, we already have those dates set up right now, where Power Slap goes Friday and UFC goes Saturday. And then you’re going to see Friday, Power Slap, Saturday, UFC, and Sunday, WWE. You’ll start seeing that stuff, too.”

TKO Group Holdings owns both WWE and UFC.

The current WWE PLE schedule is as follows:

• Saturday, May 26, 2024: WWE King & Queen of the Ring, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
• Sunday, June 9, 2024: NXT Battleground at UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada
• Saturday, June 15, 2024: WWE Clash at the Castle: Scotland, OVO Hydro Glasgow in Glasgow, Scotland
• Saturday, July 6, 2024: WWE Money in the Bank at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
• Sunday, July 7, 2024: WWE NXT Heatwave at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada
• Saturday, August 3, 2024: WWE SummerSlam at Cleveland Browns Stadium in Cleveland, OH
• Saturday, August 31, 2024: WWE Bash in Berlin, Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany
• Saturday, April 19, and Sunday, April 20, 2025: WWE WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium

 

Editor’s Opinion:

This actually makes sense, because why would TKO have its own entities compete against one another? Also, for decades, Sunday night has been the traditional night for pay-per-view events for WWE, and bringing it back to that would bring familiarity to most of its audience.
