List of WWE pay-per-view and livestreaming supercards
This is a list of WWE pay-per-view (PPV) and livestreaming supercards, detailing all professional wrestling cards promoted by the American promotion available on traditional PPV outlets and livestreaming services such as the WWE Network.
Since 2022, to emphasize the availability of these events via digital platforms such as WWE Network and other streaming services that hold rights to its content (such as Peacock in the United States), WWE began to refer to all pay-per-view events (PPV) as "Premium Live Events" (PLE).[1]
History
editThe American professional wrestling promotion WWE has been broadcasting pay-per-view (PPV) events since the 1980s, when its classic "Big Four" events (Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series) were first established—the company's very first PPV was WrestleMania in 1985. The company's PPV lineup expanded to a monthly basis in the mid-1990s following the introduction of the In Your House series of pay-per views before expanding even further in the mid-2000s during the first WWE brand extension. In addition, WWE produced international PPVs not available in the United States between 1997 and 2003. In 2022, the company began recognizing Money in the Bank as one of their five biggest events of the year, thus making it a "Big Five" event along with the classic "Big Four"; King of the Ring was considered a "Big Five" event from 1993 until 2002, after which, it was discontinued as a PPV until 2024.
Following WWE's original brand extension in 2002, the company promoted two touring rosters, Raw and SmackDown, representing its television programs, Raw and SmackDown, with the two United Kingdom PPVs held that year being the first ones to be brand exclusive. Following Judgment Day in 2003, brand-exclusive PPVs where expanded to all WWE PPVs, except the traditional "Big Four", which continued to showcase the entire roster, while the remaining PPVs alternated between Raw and SmackDown. A special Extreme Championship Wrestling reunion PPV in 2005 led to the creation of an ECW brand in 2006, which also received its own dedicated PPV events. In March 2007, WWE announced that all subsequent non "big-four" PPV events following WrestleMania 23 would feature performers from all brands, which ended brand-exclusive PPVs.[2] In 2008, all WWE PPV events began broadcasting in high-definition.
The company's PPV business began to drastically change with the launch of the online streaming service, the WWE Network, on February 24, 2014. WWE's focus shifted away from delivering their events solely on PPV channels, with their main focus on livestreaming all of the events on the WWE Network, including some exclusive events, such as NXT TakeOver.[3] After the second brand extension in July 2016, brand-exclusive events returned with the "Big Four" again as the only ones to feature both the Raw and SmackDown brands.[4] Brand-exclusive events would once again come to an end, this time after WrestleMania 34 in April 2018 with the events again featuring wrestlers from all brands.[5]
Beginning with NXT TakeOver 31 in October 2020, the TakeOver events started airing on traditional PPV in addition to livestreaming.[6] In late 2021, WWE discontinued the TakeOver series, but has continued to promote major NXT events periodically; however, beginning with the 2022 calendar year, WWE ceased broadcasting NXT's major events on PPV with them subsequently only available via livestreaming.[7]
The 2021 edition of Fastlane would be the beginning of WWE phasing out the WWE Network, with the company partnering with other platforms to distribute their content. Beginning with that edition of Fastlane in the United States, events began airing on NBCUniversal's streaming service, Peacock, following a merger of the American WWE Network under Peacock in March that year. The standalone version of the American WWE Network shut down on April 4.[8] Over the next couple of years, other countries would see their own version of the WWE Network merge under other services. In Indonesia, the WWE Network merged under Disney Hotstar in January 2022,[9] followed by a merger under Disney in the Philippines in November that year,[10] while in Australia, it merged under Binge in January 2023[11] and then Abema in Japan that September.[12] In January 2025, the WWE Network worldwide will shut down, with all other countries that still have the Network merging under Netflix.[13]
In addition to Peacock's WWE channel, WWE's events are still made available on traditional PPV outlets in the United States. In Canada, WWE's PPVs are available through Vu!, Shaw PPV, or SaskTel PPV, and was formerly shown in select locations of the Cineplex Entertainment chain. In Australia, PPVs are shown on Main Event. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, all PPVs were shown on Sky Sports Box Office until 2019, when BT Sport took over rights to WWE content.[14] In India and South Asia, a single broadcaster (currently Sony Ten) generally holds the rights to all WWE programming,[15] with PPVs broadcast for no additional charge.[16]
Currently, WWE's events for Raw and SmackDown are generally held on Saturdays and are typically 3 hours in length, with some events running longer or shorter. NXT's events are typically on Sundays and last between 2 and 3 hours. Prior to 2022, all events were generally held on a Sunday. The change was attributed to WWE president Nick Khan who felt that "big sports events were better on Saturday nights".[17] WWE also airs a pre-show before most events which includes interviews, match previews, and a panel of experts analyzing the upcoming line-up. They were originally simply called Pre-Show, but beginning with Payback 2013, they were rebranded as Kickoff (although WrestleMania XXX in 2014 used Pre-Show) before being rebranded again to Countdown to [event] beginning with NXT Stand & Deliver in 2024. The pre-shows also used to host some matches but these were phased out in early 2022, although some pre-shows still occasionally have matches. WWE also airs a post-show media press conference following some events, including NXT events. Previously, they would air a post-show for some events, known as Fallout. Each Fallout included interviews and a panel of experts analyzing the event.[18] WWE also previously held post-show editions of Raw Talk for Raw-branded events and Talking Smack for SmackDown-branded events.

However, beginning with NXT Arrival, several additional events began airing exclusively on the Network. These Network exclusives are noted as "Network exclusive". Beginning in 2021, some countries saw their version of the WWE Network merge under another streaming platform (e.g., in the United States, the WWE Network merged under Peacock on March 18, 2021). The "Network exclusive" note from 2021 forward also covers these other platforms.

Themed events
editMany WWE events are thematic, centering on particular types of matches, or have an annually recurring main event. Most themed or gimmick events (sans the "Big Five" events) are roughly treated like filler themed events to carry the audience until the next event dating back to the days when the In Your House system was used.[26]
