WWE PLE & Saturday Night’s Main Event results:

Date reportedly set for first-ever WWE premium live event in Italy

Posted on by Josh Nason

WWE reportedly has a date set for their first-ever premium live event in Italy.

Reported Thursday by Wrestlevotes Radio on Fightful Select, the show is scheduled for Sunday, May 31 at a city and venue yet to be announced. The outlets stated it is scheduled to be the first PLE following WrestleMania which typically carries the Backlash name, but that is unconfirmed.

This past September, WWE president Nick Khan first revealed they would head to Italy for a PLE in 2026. At the time, SportsBusiness reported that the PLE will coincide with WWE’s weekly programming slate becoming available on Netflix in Italy, replacing Warner Bros. Discovery. That has yet to be announced.

If confirmed, it would be the sixth WWE PLE announced for 2026, joining January’s Royal Rumble in Saudi Arabia; February’s Elimination Chamber in Chicago; April’s WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas; August’s SummerSlam in Minneapolis; and September’s Money in the Bank in New Orleans. It also be the second international PLE of the year.

Location confirmed for WWE Elimination Chamber 2026

Posted on by Josh Nason

For the first time since 2021, WWE Elimination Chamber will be returning to the United States and in a new city in 2026.

First reported last Friday in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter and confirmed by Wrestlenomics Tuesday, the annual event will head to Chicago on Saturday, February 28. Neither our Dave Meltzer or Wrestlenomics could confirm the venue, but the Allstate Arena has been a constant for past WWE events in the city.

From Meltzer:

“The Rumble date is pretty locked in. It wouldn’t shock me to see the Chamber date changed a week in either direction if they want to compete with AEW.”

The last time Elimination Chamber took place in the U.S. was in February 2021, when it took place at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida, during the pandemic. Since then, it headed to Saudi Arabia (2022); Montreal, Canada (2023); and Perth, Australia (2024).

It’s the third official WWE premium live event on tap for 2026.

Current WWE PLE Schedule 2026:

  • WWE Royal Rumble in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Saturday, January 31
  • WWE Elimination Chamber in Chicago on Saturday, February 28
  • WWE WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas on Saturday, April 18 & Sunday, April 19

Update on WWE PLE schedule for 2025 & how John Cena is affected

Posted on by Josh Nason

The end of the road for WWE megastar John Cena is less than five months away and how WWE’s premium live event schedule has evolved this year has essentially confirmed when his final match will take place.

On Thursday’s Wrestling Observer Live, our Bryan Alvarez reported that with the creation of July’s Evolution and by adding a second night of SummerSlam, WWE will satisfy their 2025 commitment of PLEs to Peacock with November’s Survivor Series.

That leaves December wide open for the final Saturday Night’s Main Event of 2025 which, at this point Alvarez said, will feature Cena’s final match airing live on NBC and Peacock.

Cena himself said in July that his retirement match is scheduled for mid-December and that “they are still trying to find a place for it.” However, his own father told a local news outlet in May that the match will take place at Boston’s TD Garden, less than an hour away from where Cena grew up. WWE has yet to announce anything.

Our Dave Meltzer has reported that if that is indeed the case, Saturday, December 13th would be the date to watch. The Garden has nothing publicly scheduled for that night.

As of this writing, Cena has 12 appearances left through the end of 2025.
