During a recent appearance at the UBS Global Media & Communications Conference, TKO CEO Mark Shapiro commented on the possibility of other WWE pay-per-view events expanding to two nights.
Shapiro said, “Definitely opportunities for that. It’s all a progression, a natural evolution. WrestleMania was a big hit for us to expand. As you look at all these PLEs, depending the partner, I think there is absolutely an opportunity to advance some of them to two days. We’re in a good place with our storylines. The way it weaves through is WrestleMania is the culmination and then a new season begins. You use Raw, SmackDown, Saturday Night’s Main Event, the PLEs to all weave a long form story around multiple storylines and characters driving that discussion and narrative. It also gives us the opportunity to launch new names and bring back names.”
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley recently spoke with “MuscleManMalcolm” to discuss who he believes is the real Tribal Chief in WWE these days. He said,
“[Laughs] I’m a Mami’s boy, alright? When it comes to factions, I want the old Judgment Day back, okay? Carlito, it’s not on you, but that’s not my Judgment Day. The real tribal leader in WWE always has been, always will be, and still is Mami. [Asked if it’s Roman Reigns or Solo Sikoa]. No, no.”
