Speaking on the Sports Business Journal Sports Media
podcast, WWE’s Executive Vice President of Talent Relations
Chris Legentil revealed that WWE is looking into holding
more premium live events internationally in 2025 and are
working with Netflix to identify key markets.
WWE held a total of eight premium live events outside the
United States this year, a record for the company.
“This year alone, we did more than half our [premium live
events] outside the U.S…look for more of that when we’re in
partnership with Netflix because we’re going to be working
with them hand-in-hand to select locations across the world
where we can grow our audience and hopefully gain some
subscribers for them,” Legentil said.
In 2024, WWE held Elimination Chamber in Perth, Australia,
Backlash in Lyon, France, King and Queen of the Ring in
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Clash at the Castle in Glasgow,
Scotland, Money In The Bank in Toronto, Canada, Bash in
Berlin in Berlin, Germany, Crown Jewel in Riyadh, Saudi
Arabia, and Survivor Series: WarGames in Vancouver, Canada.
WWE premium live events will be moving to Netflix
internationally starting with the 2025 Royal Rumble.
