The WWE schedule runs all year long, meaning there are always upcoming events to enjoy. The company’s most anticipated events, or the “Big 5” PPVs as they are known, take place around the same time each year: the Royal Rumble in January, WrestleMania in early April, Money in the Bank in June/July, SummerSlam in July/August, and Survivor Series in November. A range of slightly less prestigious PPV events take place in the remaining months.
Raw and SmackDown are WWE’s regular weekly programs, taking place in different venues every Monday and Friday respectively. Developmental show NXT is also staged a number of times each month, while “house” shows (shows not filmed for TV) like Saturday Night’s Main Event and Sunday Stunner visit towns around the USA most weekends. WWE Live – a name usually reserved for house shows on international tours – rounds off the company’s current output.
