From WWE.com, interesting for the following reasons:
1. They're calling them WWE Main Events and not Pay-Per-Views. They could be calling them that because not all of the events air on PPV over here, some are on Sky Sports. But it will also add credence to the rumour of WWE moving their major shows to the WWE Network.
2. Capitol Punishment has been replaced by an event TBD. Hopefully it will be something (anything) better than last year's June PPV.
3. Probably the biggest piece of news, WWE are back down to 12 major events. Vengeance isn't listed and Hell in a Cell has been moved to late October. Either that's a mistake, they're moving HIAC to later in the month and adding a PPV in early October, or there is only one October PPV.

I'd love it if TBD turned out to be King of the Ring

I'm guessing the non-PPV shows are moving to the WWE Network and/or offered at a reduced price in the US to non-WWE Network subscribers.
I was fearing that all PPVs would go PPV in the UK, but I guess with WWEN around the corner there'll still be some left.

I'd love it if TBD turned out to be King of the Ring It's Bragging Rights. The thread got posted a few days ago confirming the newz about the name change. |

Eh, nothing's confirmed until it's confirmed. I remember there was supposed to be WWE Wild Card and WWE Annihilation but both of those got replaced. |

Isn't this one of those 'subject to change' things, though? The listing of what's on SBO and what's on Sky Sports is pretty much set, but they still could be moving MITB back to Wrestlemania. That June PPV could be Bragging Rights, but did the WWE themselves ever confirm anything?
If they have got rid of that early October PPV, I'll be very pleased. It was always a huge waste of time.

We're only getting 4 PPV's on Sky Sports? Unfortunately so. And outside of WrestleMania, there isnt a damn one of those Id pay for. |

Wait, we're getting the MITB PPV again? Dammit, leave that on Wrestlemania only!

Wasn't MITB in June at one point, as well?

Pfft, going down to 4 free is rubbish
(yes, I know we're still spoiled compared to the US)
Am hoping we get the WWE Network though - I would actually pay for that.

I remember the wrestling channel, it was the only time I can remember ROH was on SKY tv, good times. All in all, I think the free ppvs on Sky Sports are a bonus anyway. The only ones I pretty much pay for every year are the Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania and may be Summerslam. |

Maybe that's what you call it. I see the US get Raw on basic cable, where as we hvae to fork out for Sky Sports (the cumulative cost of which comes to £50/month and sometimes more) to do so. Then having to pay for more and more PPVs on top of that? What a ripoff. Remember when we only had to pay for Insurection and Rebellion? Those were the days. |
