WWE has expanded in a major way over the last few years and several of the companies annual premium live events have emanated from international locations, which has resulted in varying start times for the shows.
WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select is reporting that the 8 PM start time for the Worlds Collide premium live event in Chicago is a reflection of the city and date that were chosen by WWE, as the intention was to directly compete with the AEW All Out pay-per-view on the same day in Hoffman Estates, IL.
As of this writing the planned start times for the premium live events following Worlds Collide are as follows:
• Money in the Bank on October 10th (6 PM)
• Crown Jewel on November 7th (1 PM)
• Survivor Series: WarGames on November 28th (6 PM)
• Wrestlepalooza in Australia on December 13th (6 AM)
WWE recently announced that WrestlePalooza will emanate from Australia on December 13th, and the report notes that there could be some morning wrestling, and night wrestling on that date. Further context was not provided by the report, but it’s worth noting that the John Cena Classic has long been rumored for December.
Stay tuned for updates.
