Triple H addresses whether WWE will add more two-night PLEs
During an appearance on ESPN’s SportsCenter today, Paul “Triple H” Levesque addressed whether we could see more WWE PLEs become two-night events.
WrestleMania has been a two-night affair dating back to 2020, and the first two-night SummerSlam was held earlier this month. Levesque did not confirm whether more PLEs will become two-night shows in the future, but he told ESPN that WWE will continue to super-serve its fan base.
“As far as will more of our larger events go to two nights? I think time will tell,” Levesque said. “It’s really, for us, about super-serving our fans. Just like for ESPN, you guys thrive on super-serving your fan base and the people that watch. So do we. It’s what we want to do. So when we can turn these into bigger events, make them destination weekends for fans, that’s what we will do. It’s all about our fans — our WWE Universe — and making them happy.”
Along with WrestleMania, SummerSlam will again be two nights in 2026.
Levesque, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins all made appearances on ESPN today to celebrate the news that WWE’s new PLE deal with ESPN will begin earlier than expected with Wrestlepalooza in Indianapolis on Saturday, September 20. Levesque confirmed that Pat McAfee will be at the Wrestlepalooza event.
ESPN’s new streaming service — which will carry the WWE PLEs — launched today. It’s priced at $29.99 per month or $299.99 per year, though some viewers who already pay for ESPN through a cable package will get the service at no extra cost.
