Delhi NCR, Cricastar Sports Desk: As of 23rd April, 2025, WWE has produced hundreds of pay-per-view (PPV) events, now referred to as Premium Live Events (PLEs) since 2022. The exact number is difficult to pin down without a comprehensive list due to the inclusion of various event types over the years, such as traditional PPVs, WWE Network exclusives, and international shows. However, based on available information:

WWE began broadcasting PPVs in 1985 with WrestleMania.

• The PPV lineup expanded to a monthly basis in the mid-1990s with the In Your House series, and by 2006, WWE peaked at 16 PPVs per year before settling back to around 12 annually by 2012.
• From 2014, the WWE Network (later merged with Peacock in the U.S. and Netflix in many countries by 2025) included all PPVs and additional exclusive events, increasing the total count.
• In 2024 alone, WWE produced 20 PPVs/PLEs, including NXT events and Saturday Night’s Main Event specials, with some events like WrestleMania spanning multiple days.

A rough estimate suggests over 500 PPVs/PLEs have been produced from 1985 to 2025, accounting for the “Big Four” (Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series), monthly events, and special shows like In Your House, NXT TakeOvers, and international PPVs. For a precise count, a detailed chronological list would be needed, as available on sources like Wikipedia or WWE’s official records.

For the 2025 schedule specifically, at least 12 PLEs are planned, including confirmed events like Royal Rumble (February 1), WrestleMania 41 (April 19-20), and SummerSlam (August 2-3), with additional NXT events and Saturday Night’s Main Event specials.
