4. A United Kingdom PPV Soon?
From @GarrySage: With @StardustWWE (at the live event Cardiff ) and @JohnCena (at Raw) teasing the UK with a PPV coming back here do you think this will happen soon?
They *should* do it, but will they do it soon? No. We already know the locations of the rest of the PPVs this year as well as the first three next year. They're all in the United States. While WWE does good business in the UK as well as all of Europe, they are apprehensive about it just because of the spoilers. They think that they have to show PPVs at 8pmET (or 7pmET for WrestleMania) in the US and that anything else is not going to work for them. Thanks to WWE Network, they need to realize that the start time really doesn't matter as much. A UK PPV with a 8pmET start time would begin at 3pmET and 12pmPT. If North American fans want to sit through a three hour PPV live in the afternoon then they can. If not, watch it on demand on WWE Network. That's what WWE Network is for. It's convenient. Since WWE hasn't had a major PPV shown worldwide since SummerSlam 1992 (that was taped a few days earlier than it aired, by the way), it's hard to imagine that will change now. It should, but there's really no indication that they are going to move in that direction.
