WWE has been hotter than ever lately. With some international shows on the calendar, WWE is planning to have a stacked year in 2024. After having a successful Elimination Chamber in Australia, WWE is planning some major challenges for the upcoming PLEs, including WrestleMania XL in Philadelphia.

According to PWInsider Elite, WWE is planning an earlier start time for their domestic shows, which is at 7 p.m. ET. It is going to be in effect at WrestleMania. WWE’s international shows are getting a different start time every time due to the time shift in different hemispheres. However, this early start time would be a drastic change for the company heading forward.

WWE is planning to use different stage setups for upcoming PLEs

Stages are an important part of WWE programming. It gives a different feel to the show as it sets up the look and feel of the show. Recently, it was reported that WWE is planning to have different stages for their PLEs in the future.

According to WrestleTix, WWE is planning to have minimalist stages for their special PLEs. This rule doesn’t apply to WrestleMania, as it is the biggest show of the year. However, to enhance the capacity of the arena, WWE is planning to have minimal stages for shows such as Money in the Bank, Survivor Series, and even SummerSlam.

This same kind of rule was also followed for last year’s shows, such as Royal Rumble and Survivor Series 2023, where CM Punk made his triumphant return. Moreover, it shows that WWE has been trending, which is why they have to reduce the stages to adjust the seating.
