WWE Pay-per-view Schedule 2023 will be very different. 2022 was a monumental year for WWE because they hosted stadium shows. The year started with a bang on January 1 as the Day 1 premium live event took place. Royal Rumble, Elimination Chamber, WrestleMania 38, Clash at the Castle, SummerSlam and Crown Jewel happened at big stadiums.
There plans to have the Money in the Bank premium live event at the Allegiant Stadium. However, due to poor ticket sales, the event was moved to a small arena. Nevertheless, 2022 was a successful year for WWE in terms of premium live events.
