* Events subject to change.
Powell’s POV: I assume that the February and October events will be held in Saudi Arabia. The most interesting new date is the September 3 or 4 listing, which is Labor Day weekend, the same weekend that AEW holds its annual All Out event.
Likely Elimination Chamber in February.
I think Saturday is a better day for a ppv. Don’t have work the next day.
As an NFL fan, I love the Saturday PPVs.
