WWE Confirm Co-Branded Pay-per-Views, the Lineup

It appears a rumor we previously reported is true, as WWE have confirmed that pay-per-views will be co-branded following ‘WrestleMania 34,’ also listing the lineup for this year.

In an article listed on their official website, WWE have confirmed that ‘Raw’ and ‘Smackdown Live’ will be moving forward in unison for PPVs.

While they didn’t provide a reason for the change, it has been widely reported that the decision was made due to the money the WWE Network is making combined with the lack of ticket sales at events.

The lineup of PPVs for this year is as follows:

WrestleMania 34 – April 8, 2018

WWE Backlash – May 6, 2018

WWE Money in the Bank – June 17, 2018

WWE Extreme Rules – July 15, 2018

SummerSlam – Aug. 19, 2018

WWE Hell in a Cell – Sept. 16, 2018

WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs – Oct. 21, 2018

Survivor Series – Nov. 18, 2018

WWE Clash of Champions – Dec. 16, 2018

If you’re a keen observer, you’ll notice several PPVs are missing and others have had their dates changed.

Missing are ‘Great Balls of Fire,’ ‘No Mercy,’ ‘Battleground’ and ‘Payback.’ There is no word on if WWE will bring them back later this year again as a surprise or whether they will appear in the future.

‘WrestleMania 34’ is the first co-branded PPV moving forward. Check out the video below on ten of the best moments from the show in history.
