WWE could be testing the waters for a larger return to the traditional live event schedule.
Following WWE’s announcement of several upcoming summer live events, one source claims that the company may already be evaluating the possibility of expanding those tours later this year.
According to the source, WWE officials are expected to closely monitor the financial performance of the upcoming summer house shows, along with overall talent health and workload during the run. Those factors are said to play a key role in determining whether the company moves forward with a more extensive winter live event loop.
Interesting development.
The report also noted that select top-tier WWE talent were approached about participating in the live events and were reportedly given the option to decline if they chose to do so.
In terms of roster size, current expectations are for approximately 25 to 30 talents to be used per show as WWE continues to fine-tune its approach to non-televised live events.
