Upcoming WWE Events: Royal Rumble, WrestleMania 40 And More

Have you heard the old saying about the only guarantees in life being death and taxes? Well, you can add WWE premium live events (formerly known as pay-per-views) to that list, as the sports entertainment company has continued to produce big shows even after a year in which the company was sold and is currently operating under new ownership. The brand remains strong, as does the number of major live events it's holding yearly. 

Below is a breakdown of each and every WWE premium live event, as well as major NXT shows, that will air live on WWE Network on Peacock throughout 2024 and beyond. If you're someone who likes to watch each and every major match, I'd suggest giving this list a good look and holding onto that Peacock Premium subscription for the foreseeable future. 

Elimination Chamber - February 24, 2024

The WWE is headed abroad for another pay-per-view, and a place of note. This event, which centers around the iconic chamber matches, will take place in Perth, Australia. While we don't know the details of the event at this time, it seems destined that Rhea Ripley will compete in the women's chamber match in her home country. Elimination Chamber is always a good warm-up to the fun of WrestleMania, so I have high hopes there will be much to enjoy about this event even if there's more fun on the way. 

WrestleMania 40 - April 6-7, 2024

For the first time in 25 years, the “Granddaddy of Them All” will return to the “City of Brotherly Love” in April 2024, when Lincoln Financial Field (the home of the Philadelphia Eagles) hosts WrestleMania 40. In July 2022, WWE announced that the biggest wrestling event of the year will take place on April 6 and 7, 2024, continuing the two-day model first put in place a few years ago.

Obviously, no matches have been announced yet, but with Cody Rhodes and Bayley emerging as the Royal Rumble winners, expect for some matches to be announced eventually. Of course, there's still much more that can happen between now and the big weekend, so keep an eye on what's happening on Monday Night Raw and SmackDown

Currently, it's being speculated that we'll get a rematch of Cody Rhodes vs. Roman Reigns, and we'll see Rhodes attempt to "finish the story" and defeat the mega-champion Reigns. Rhodes wasn't able to the first time around, but that was largely because Reigns had the strength of The Bloodline to bail him out. Could he defeat Rhodes if he's truly taking him on solo? 

WrestleMania Backlash May 24, 2024

If WrestleMania 40 is shaping up to be the biggest event the company has had in quite some time, it only makes sense that WWE Backlash would be an equally massive follow-up. For example, should Cody Rhodes "finish the story," one can only imagine what he'll be faced with should Roman Reigns demand a rematch clause. 

One other big thing of note is that this will be the first time ever that the WWE hosts a pay-per-view in France. In a year that already seems like the organization will host many big matches abroad, it's only fitting that some country gets its first-ever major event. 

Money In The Bank July 6, 2024

The WWE is headed to Toronto in July for Money in the Bank, and will give a couple superstars a chance to cash-in and change their careers in the company for the better. In 2023, Iyo Sky went from supporting character to top star with her impressive title reign, while Damian Priest still has yet to make good of his opportunity to challenge a champion. I'll be curious to see who has the best chance of getting the briefcase in the new year, especially with the slew of talent deserving of a major championship.  

Bash In Berlin August 31, 2024

WWE announced a major show coming to Berlin in 2024, well ahead of its arrival. While we don't know what Bash In Berlin will entail, there's a lot of excitement, considering it's the first major event for the country. I think it's safe to assume that this will be a big event for Gunther and the rest of Imperium. I can't wait to see what's on the way.

  • Crown Jewel

Below is a list of all the WWE events held throughout 2024, as well as how to watch each show streaming.

A lot of these upcoming WWE events, especially WrestleMania 39 and 40, are a ways off, but there is still plenty of wrestling on the 2024 TV schedule to hold you over in the meantime.
