WrestleMania was one of the first and most successful pay-per-view events in the world. (75,167 fans attended the Mercedes-Benz Superdome for WrestleMania XXX –pictured above – and it was the highest-grossing professional wrestling pay-per-view event in history)This is a list of WWE pay-per-view events , detailing all professional wrestling cards promoted on pay-per-view (PPV) by WWE .
WWE has broadcast pay-per-views since the 1980s, when its classic "Big Four" events (Royal Rumble , WrestleMania , SummerSlam , and Survivor Series ) were first established. The company's PPV lineup expanded to a monthly basis in the mid-1990s and reached its peak of sixteen shows a year in 2006 before returning to twelve in 2012. Pay-per-view shows are typically three hours in length, though budget priced events (e.g., In Your House ) were shorter, while premium events such as WrestleMania can approach five hours. Since 2008, all WWE pay-per-views have been broadcast in high definition . Pay-per-view events are a significant part of the revenue stream for WWE.[ 1] [ 2]
WWE pay-per-views are made available in the United States by In Demand . In Canada, WWE pay-per-views are available through (depending on service provider) Vu! , Shaw PPV , or SaskTel PPV , and can be seen in movie theatres in HD through selected locations of the Cineplex Entertainment chain. In Australia, WWE's pay-per-views are shown on Main Event . In the United Kingdom and Ireland, some pay-per-views are shown on Sky Sports 1 & 3 and others on Sky Sports Box Office. In India and South Asia, a single broadcaster (currently TEN Sports ) generally holds the rights to all WWE programming,[ 3] [ 4]
Following WWE's original brand extension in 2002, the company promoted two touring rosters representing its Raw SmackDown Insurrextion (Raw) and Rebellion (SmackDown!), all WWE pay-per-views featured both brands until June 2003. The traditional "Big Four" continued to showcase the entire roster, while the remaining pay-per-views alternated between Raw and SmackDown cards. A special ECW event in 2005 led to the creation of an ECW brand in 2006, which also received its own dedicated pay-per-view. Additional brand-exclusive events were added to the schedule, which reached its peak in 2006 with sixteen pay-per-view events (five Raw, five SmackDown, two ECW and the original "Big Four"). In March 2007, WWE announced that all subsequent pay-per-views would feature performers from all brands.[ 5]
In 2009, WWE began to rename several of its "B"-show pay-per-views, identifying them with types of matches such as the Money in the Bank ladder match and the Hell in a Cell cage match. Since 2012, WWE has offered a free kickoff/pre-show before each pay-per-view, available on WWE.com and from social media partners such as YouTube and Facebook . The WWE Network , launched on February 24, 2014, features the entire back catalog of WWE pay-per-view events, as well as all future pay-per-views from WrestleMania XXX onwards. The WWE Network also included non-PPV events The Big Event and 1988 Royal Rumble in their pay-per-view section.[ 6]
In recent years, WWE pay-per-views were mainly held in top-drawing arenas, such as the Izod Center in East Rutherford, New Jersey , the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri , the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois , the Staples Center in Los Angeles , the TD Garden in Boston , the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York and the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia .

Themed pay-per-views
Many WWE pay-per-views are thematic , centered on particular types of matches, or have an annually-recurring main-event. Most themed pay-per-view-events (sans the "Big Four") are roughly treated like filler themed events to carry the audience until the next event dating back to the days when the In Your House system was used.[ 23]
