TKO COO Mark Shapiro: We Think WWE Wrestlepalooza Could Be Another WrestleMania Or SummerSlam
WWE will hold the first-ever WWE Wrestlepalooza on September 20th in Indianapolis. The event will feature John Cena vs. Brock Lesnar, AJ Lee & CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins & Becky Lynch, and more.
Speaking at Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference, TKO COO Mark Shapiro commented on how big they believe Wrestlepalooza could be.
“Next weekend we’re launching in Indianapolis with a brand new franchise, which we hope will be an annual recurring franchise in Wrestlepalooza.
“Hopefully, Wrestlepalooza is a winner that we can bring back annually. That could be a marketing bonanza for us if we do that right. Triple H is spending night and day creatively around making that what we think it could be, which is another WrestleMania or another SummerSlam. Those two stand out above the rest. Royal Rumble is right beneath that. We think Wrestlepalooza can get into that quadrant.”
WrestleMania and SummerSlam are the only two-night PLEs in WWE.
