After wrapping up its usual holiday live event tour, WWE is on the road to WrestleMania with no live events from now through mid-March. Instead, WWE will just run television and premium live events. WWE plans to greatly reduce the number of house shows in 2025.
While appearing on The Night Cap, CM Punk discussed the reduced WWE touring schedule.
“Nowadays, it’s a lot less. I think it’s better for all of the athletes. But you wind up missing out on all of those live shows where you’re wrestling for those fans. You’re not necessarily wrestling for TV. You do build up a callus. We’re kind of missing that right now, at least I know I am. We just did a Christmas loop most recently over the holidays, where I was in Pittsburgh for the Netflix thing at the football game. We went to Madison Square Garden, went back to Pittsburgh, go to Baltimore, went over to Chicago, down to Houston for TV. Like that, that is my bread and butter. Being on the road, hanging out with the boys, getting to interact with fans. You just to have, I don’t wanna say more fun, because TV can be fun, but TV is more of a high-pressure situation.”
