With WWE programming being added to Netflix in Italy, the company will be celebrating with a premium live event there in 2026.
WWE President Nick Khan recently spoke with SportBusiness. During the discussion, Khan broke the news that Italy will be hosting a premium live event early in 2026. Khan made an effort to point out that almost half of WWE’s yearly PLEs now take place outside of the United States.
“Almost half of our Premium Live Events take place outside of the United States now,” Nick Khan said. “We believe WWE is a global property, we believe the results on these shows, both in terms of attendance and viewership (locally and globally) have been significant. We have seen year-over-year increases for viewership on each one.”
With the 2026 Royal Rumble set for Saudi Arabia and WrestleMania 42 set to return to Las Vegas, it appears that the Italy event will take place between these two shows.
