Considering the WWE UK PPV has become the talk of town among the fans. Keeping this in mind, it’s expected that the arena would be almost sold out. So, the House of Commons concluded that given it’s a good thing for the economy, there could be more such events in the future.

Now, some fans believe there wasn’t a clear answer about this while others haven’t paid much heed to it.

give her credit, she phrased it in a way that was tough to argue against without it backfiring: it really is a benefit for Cardiff and South Wales

It’s true that right now the fans should focus on the upcoming confirmed PPV instead of wondering if this is going to be a recurring thing.

WWE used to host PPVs in UK before

There was a time back in the 1990s when the company would often have PPVs in the UK. This was their way of ensuring the audience on the other continent stayed connected with the sport.

However, the last PPV in the UK was SummerSlam in 1992. This was at Wembley Stadium.

Apart from that there have been other smaller shows, but none of them quite as big to be a PPV. On the other hand, WWE does schedule Raw and SmackDowns in the UK.

One of the reasons why WWE stopped doing PPVs in the UK was related to the revenue generated from it. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to keep the company coming back to the UK.

But, when it announced a PPV in 2020, the fans were really excited. It probably would have been huge but got cancelled because of the pandemic.

Hopefully, the revenue generated from the upcoming WWE UK PPV will urge the company to make this an annual event.
