It looks like WWE is sticking with its plans for Premium Live Events by changing the start time. The company has already confirmed its schedule for this year through August.
In March, it was reported that the company was looking into potentially moving domestic PPVs to that earlier start time. However, it was said that a final decision was still up in the air.
WWE usually airs its pre-shows at 7 p.m. ET, while the main card follows an hour later. Years ago, this was the standard main card start time for events before it was moved back an hour to 8 p.m. ET.
Pwinsider reports that for now, WWE has decided to keep the earlier start time as events, including WWE NXT Heatwave, SummerSlam, and The Bash at Berlin, will stay at the earlier start time. Here is the current WWE PLE schedule:
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
On Saturday night, UFC President Dana White revealed plans to have WWE PLEs eventually move to Sundays. He didn’t disclose when that would be happening. For more on that, click here.
