Update On Change To WWE’s PPV Schedule

WWE TLC

During Monday night’s live Raw taping from Boston’s TD Garden arena, an on-screen graphic advertised a “WWE Live SuperShow” for Sunday, October 21st. That show had previously been advertised as the Tables, Ladders and Chairs pay-per-view.

When WWE announced via press release that all future PPV events will feature talent from both Raw and SmackDown, the following shows were listed:

  • July 15th: Extreme Rules
  • August 19th: SummerSlam
  • September 16th: Hell in a Cell
  • October 21st: Tables, Ladders & Chairs
  • November 18th: Survivor Series
  • December 16th: Clash of Champions

According to WWE sources, TLC has been moved to December 16th (from San Jose, CA), effectively bumping Clash of Champions from the schedule.

Making Room For The Australian Super Show-Down

With October’s TLC PPV moved back to December, it appears WWE is clearing the calendar for the big WWE Super Show-Down stadium show from Australia on October 6th.

It seems likely WWE did not want to feature 2 pay-per-views just 15 days apart. Triple H and other WWE officials have stated publicly that holding WrestleMania 34 and the Greatest Royal Rumble show so close together was challenging logistically and creatively.

There have been 9 WWE TLC pay-per-views in history. At last year’s event from Minnesota, Kurt Angle joined Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins in the Shield to take on the Miz, the Bar, Braun Strowman, and Kane in a 5-on-3 handicap match.
