WrestleMania is WWE's biggest premium live event. In 2024, the 40th edition (pictured) took place at Lincoln Financial Field and attracted 72,543 spectators on Night 1 and 72,755 spectators on Night 2 (145,298 spectators in total)

This is a list of

livestreaming supercards, detailing all professional wrestling cards promoted by the American promotion available on services such as the WWE Network
.

Since 2022, to emphasize the availability of these events at no additional charge via platforms such as WWE Network and other streaming services that hold rights to its content under local agreements (such as Peacock in the United States), WWE began to refer to all PPVs as "premium live events" in promotional materials.[1]

History

The American professional wrestling promotion WWE has been broadcasting pay-per-view (PPV) events since the 1980s, when its classic "Big Four" events (Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series) were first established—the company's very first PPV was WrestleMania in 1985. The company's PPV lineup expanded to a monthly basis in the mid-1990s following the introduction of the In Your House series of pay-per views before expanding even further in the mid-2000s during the first WWE brand extension. In addition, WWE produced international PPVs not available in the United States between 1997 and 2003. In 2022, the company began recognizing Money in the Bank as one of their five biggest events of the year, thus making it a "Big Five" event along with the classic "Big Four"; King of the Ring was considered a "Big Five" event from 1993 until 2002, after which, it was discontinued as a PPV.

Following WWE's original brand extension in 2002, the company promoted two touring rosters, Raw and SmackDown, representing its television programs, Raw and SmackDown with the two United Kingdom PPVs held that year being the first ones to be brand exclusive. Following Judgment Day (2003) Brand exclusive PPVs where expanded to all WWE PPVs, where the traditional "Big Four" PPVs continued to showcase the entire roster, while the remaining PPV where brand exclusive and alternated between Raw and SmackDown. A special Extreme Championship Wrestling reunion PPV in 2005 led to the creation of an ECW brand in 2006, which also received its own dedicated PPV events. In March 2007, WWE announced that all subsequent non "big-four" PPV events following WrestleMania 23 would feature performers from all brands, which ended brand exlusive PPVs.[2] In 2008, all WWE PPV events began broadcasting in high-definition.

The company's PPV business began to drastically change with the launch of the online streaming service, the WWE Network, on February 24, 2014. WWE's focus shifted away from delivering their events solely on PPV channels, with their main focus on livestreaming all of the events on the WWE Network, including some exclusive events, such as NXT TakeOver.[3] After the second brand extension in July 2016, brand-exclusive PPVs returned with the "Big Four" as the only PPVs to feature both Raw and SmackDown brands.[4] Brand-exclusive PPVs would once again come to an end, this time after WrestleMania 34 in April 2018 with PPVs again featuring wrestlers from all brands.[5]

Beginning with NXT TakeOver 31 in October 2020, the TakeOver events started airing on traditional PPV in addition to livestreaming.[6] In late 2021, WWE discontinued the TakeOver series, but has continued to promote major NXT events periodically; however, beginning with the 2022 calendar year, WWE ceased broadcasting NXT's major events on PPV with them now only available via livestreaming.[7]

The 2021 edition of Fastlane would be the beginning of WWE phasing out the WWE Network, with the company partnering with other platforms to distribute their content. Beginning with that edition of Fastlane in the United States, PPV events began airing on NBCUniversal's streaming service, Peacock, following a merger of the American WWE Network under Peacock in March that year. The standalone version of the American WWE Network shut down on April 4.[8] Over the next couple of years, other countries would see their own version of the WWE Network merge under other services. In Indonesia, the WWE Network merged under Disney+ Hotstar in January 2022,[9] followed by a merger under Disney+ in the Philippines in November that year,[10] while in Australia, it merged under Binge in January 2023[11] and then Abema in Japan that September.[12] In January 2025, the WWE Network worldwide will shutdown, with all other countries that still have the Network merging under Netflix.[13]

In addition to Peacock's WWE Network channel, WWE PPVs are still made available on traditional PPV outlets in the United States. In Canada, WWE PPVs are available through

Sony Ten) generally holds the rights to all WWE programming,[15] with PPVs broadcast for no additional charge.[16]

Currently, WWE's PPV events for Raw and SmackDown are generally held on Saturdays and are typically 3 hours in length, with some events running longer or shorter. NXT's events are typically on Sundays and last between 2 and 3 hours. Prior to 2022, all PPVs were generally held on a Sunday. The change was attributed to WWE president Nick Khan who felt that "big sports events were better on Saturday nights".[17] WWE also airs a pre-show before most PPV events known as the Kickoff show which includes interviews, match previews, and a panel of experts analyzing the upcoming line-up; the pre-shows also used to host some matches but these were phased out in early 2022, although some pre-shows for NXT events still occasionally have matches. WWE also airs a post-show media press conference following some events, including NXT events. Previously, they would air a post-show for some events, known as Fallout. Each Fallout included interviews and a panel of experts analyzing the event.[18] WWE also previously held PPV editions of the Raw Talk post-show for Raw-branded events and the Talking Smack post-show for SmackDown-branded events.

2014

The WWE Network launched on February 24, 2014. Every pay-per-view event from this point forward aired on both traditional PPV outlets and the WWE Network. However, beginning with NXT Arrival, several additional events began airing exclusively on the Network. These Network exclusives are noted as "Network exclusive". Beginning in 2021, some countries saw their version of the WWE Network merge under another streaming platform (e.g., in the United States, the WWE Network merged under Peacock on March 18, 2021). The "Network exclusive" note from 2021 forward also covers these other platforms.

Themed events

Many WWE events are thematic, centering on particular types of matches, or have an annually recurring main event. Most themed or gimmick events (sans the "Big Five" events) are roughly treated like filler themed events to carry the audience until the next event dating back to the days when the In Your House system was used.[28]

Event Feature
Current
Royal Rumble Features the Royal Rumble match.[29][30][31]
Elimination Chamber Features the
Elimination Chamber match.[32][33][34][35]
Money in the Bank Features the Money in the Bank ladder match.[36]
Survivor Series Features elimination-style matches, particularly the traditional Survivor Series match.[37]
Carried an interbrand theme from 2016 to 2021,[38] and then themed on the WarGames match beginning in 2022.[39]
Night of Champions Features championship matches.
From 2007 to 2015, the theme was that every active WWE championship of the main roster was defended;[40][41] this event was replaced by Clash of Champions in 2016 with a similar concept. Night of Champions was reinstated in 2023, but not every main roster championship was defended.
Former
The Wrestling Classic Featured The Wrestling Classic, a single-elimination tournament.[42]
Invasion All of the matches were between the WWF and The Alliance of WCW and ECW.[43]
King of the Ring Featured the King of the Ring tournament.[44]
Bad Blood Featured the
Hell in a Cell match.[45]
One Night Stand The pay-per-views were themed around the original Extreme Championship Wrestling promotion and consisted of various hardcore-based matches.[46][47]
Extreme Rules replaced this event in 2009 and continued the concept of featuring various hardcore-based matches.[48]
Taboo Tuesday, later Cyber Sunday Fans were able to vote on the matches, such as opponents or stipulations.[49]
Breaking Point Featured matches with "give up" stipulations, such as
I Quit matches.[50]
Fatal 4-Way Featured
Fatal 4-Way matches.[51][52]
Bragging Rights The Raw and SmackDown brands would compete against one another for the Bragging Rights trophy and a 14-man tag team match between the two brands would take place;[53][54] following the return of the brand extension in 2016, Survivor Series took on the brand competition theme where Raw and SmackDown competed for brand supremacy until 2021 (NXT was also involved in 2019).
Greatest Royal Rumble
Featured the Greatest Royal Rumble match, a 50-man Royal Rumble match where the winner received the Greatest Royal Rumble trophy and championship belt.[55][56]
Cruiserweight Classic Finale
The culmination of a 32-man single-elimination tournament featuring competitors 205 lbs. and under (designated as cruiserweights).
United Kingdom Championship Tournament The event included a single-elimination tournament based around the United Kingdom Championship, featuring competitors from the United Kingdom and around the world.
Mae Young Classic Finale The culmination of a 32-woman single-elimination tournament.
Evolution Female-only event themed around WWE's various women's divisions.[57]
Worlds Collide The event was themed around interbrand competition between the NXT and NXT UK brands.
The event previously included an interbrand single-elimination tournament, featuring wrestlers from the NXT, NXT UK, and 205 Live brands.[58] There was also a four-episode mini series of the same name spun off from the original event in 2019 that aired exclusively on the WWE Network and also involved Raw and SmackDown.
Clash of Champions Every active WWE championship available to Raw and SmackDown was defended (205 Live was also involved in 2019).[59]
TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs At least one match was a
steel stairs match.[61]
NXT WarGames Featured the WarGames match.
