WWE Premium Live Events will eventually return to being hosted on Sunday under TKO Group Holdings, according to UFC President Dana White.

White appeared at the post-show press conference following the UFC Fight Night event in St. Louis. When asked about plans for UFC and his Power Slap promotions to host events over the same weekend, White shared news about the change for WWE's Premium Live Events.

"We already have those dates set up right now, where Power Slap goes [on] Friday and UFC goes [on] Saturday. And then you're going to see Friday Power Slap, Saturday UFC, and Sunday WWE. You'll start seeing that stuff too."



For decades, WWE hosted PLEs on Sundays. The change came thanks to WWE President Nick Khan who felt that "big sports events were better on Saturday nights." Speaking on the Recode Media podcast with Peter Kafka, Khan discussed the success of the move.

“We think the ticket sales are reflective of that [success.] We have a big big audience coming out on Saturday and a big gate to go along with it.”

It's unclear when WWE will make the move back to Sunday nights, but this isn't the only change from the normal plans for PLEs. In recent years, the promotion has embraced hosting events outside North America. In addition to the bi-annual Saudi Arabia shows, WWE has hosted events like Clash At The Castle in Cardiff, Wales, Money in the Bank in London, England, and Backlash France. in Lyon. WWE's next European event will be WWE Clash At The Castle: Scotland in Glasgow this coming June, with WWE Bash In Berlin set for August.
