Backlash, Clash Of Champions, No Mercy, Roadblock Returning As Split-Brand PPVs?
By Brad Davis on June 23, 2016@sescoops
In recent weeks we’ve been hearing that WWE will begin running brand-exclusive pay-per-views after SummerSlam, with only the company’s big 4 “legacy” shows (WrestleMania, SummerSlam, Survivor Series and Royal Rumble) featuring talent from both brands.
On Wednesday, Reddit user /r/Wrestlingleaker leaked WWE’s complete 2016 pay-per-view schedule. We reached out to WWE and have not yet heard back regarding the validity of the schedule, but let’s take a look at this unconfirmed information.
As part of this new pay-per-view format, WWE is reportedly bringing back several retired events, including Backlash and No Mercy. The WWE Network exclusive “Roadblock” show from earlier this year is now a full-fledged pay-per-view and Night of Champions has been replaced by Clash of Champions.
Based on this structure, with legacy PPV’s featuring talent from both brands but all other months featuring brand-specific shows, WWE would be on track to produce 20 “pay-per-views” in 2016. Throw in the quarterly (for now) NXT Takeover shows and we’ve got a WWE PPV every two weeks.
The following is the rumored WWE PPV schedule for the remainder of 2016, with 9 shows booked over the next 6 months.
7/24: Battleground (Washington, DC): RAW & SmackDown
8/21: SummerSlam (Brooklyn, NY): RAW & SmackDown
9/11: Backlash (Richmond, VA): SmackDown Exclusive
9/25: Clash of Champions (Indianapolis, IN): RAW Exclusive
10/9: No Mercy (Sacramento, CA): SmackDown Exclusive
10/30: Hell in a Cell (Boston, MA): RAW Exclusive
11/20: Survivor Series (Toronto, ON): RAW & SmackDown
12/4: TLC (Dallas, TX) : SmackDown Exclusive
12/18: Roadblock (Pittsburgh, PA): RAW Exclusive
Here’s the leaked document showing the full 2016 WWE PPV schedule – again, this is unconfirmed:
