Apparently unhappy with his current level of programming, WWE would consider Addition of a second annual event WrestleMania by 2020. Although professional wrestling is still considered a lesser form of entertainment by many, it can not be denied business – and especially its WWE leader – continues to grow stable clip. In the 1980s, the Hulkamania Hulk Hogan race launched WWF from then on to new heights of popularity and prosperity. Then in the 1990s, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin led the Attitude era to even higher heights. Nowadays, WWE is so big that they signed a $ 1 billion deal with FOX for the SmackDown Live broadcast rights.
WWE Network, a streaming TV channel for all WWE programs. The new episodes are Raw and SmackDown are archived on the network 30 days after their broadcast on the cable, and fans can find all the archive of the two shows in the section on demand. as well as all WWE pay-per-viewers and former WCW and ECW rivals. To make the network more attractive to fans, WWE also offers all its monthly a la carte events at no additional cost, as well as an badortment of special events only network, all for a reasonable monthly fee. $ 9.99.

Of course, the crown jewel among the great events of the WWE will still be WrestleMania, who staged his 34th edition this year in New Orleans. WrestleMania has been doing well since 1985, and its access never misses new subscribers each spring. Now, the sports site Barnburner reports that the WWE is not content with a single event WrestleMania a year, and plans to add another WrestleMania to its calendar in 2020. It's just the fight fans, two WrestleManias a year
Now obviously, until the WWE makes an official comment on this report, it must be taken with more than one grain of salt. Yet, the move would not be unprecedented. Just this year indeed, WWE added a second event Royal Rumble in addition to the usual show in January. Nicknamed the Greatest Royal Rumble, this supercard was held in Saudi Arabia, and originated from a giant stadium. The idea of WWE with the holding of a second WrestleMania is supposed to do something similar, spreading the event of a large international market. If implemented, WWE would maintain the standard event WrestleMania in April while putting the other in October.
Interestingly, the addition of a second WrestleMania could allow the WWE to finally satisfy its overseas fans, who constantly ask WrestleMania to be held in their country. Unfortunately, WrestleMania has not occurred outside the United States since The Rock confronted Hulk Hogan in 2002, and even then, he has never traveled further than Canada. Timezone differences make the idea of broadcast WrestleMania live on the network from somewhere other than North America a little a non-starter for the WWE, as this would force US fans to connect at a standard remote time EST 20h. However, WWE did not have a problem showing the Greatest Royal Rumble in the middle of the afternoon. Maybe London will finally get what they dream WrestleMania .
