How many WWE pay per views in a year?

While the WWE schedule features premium live events on Peacock instead of pay-per-views in the United States, the amount is pretty much the same as it has been for years. The company often produces one major event each month but there is occasionally a double dip into PLEs. Nevertheless, the WWE has 12 major events, at the least, each year.

What days of the week does WWE air?

WWE produces a massive amount of content that can be found on YouTube and on their social media accounts. However, their flagship weekly product airs on Mondays (Monday Night Raw), and on Fridays (Smackdown Live).

For years their PPV events were on Sundays, but in the last few years, things have switched to Peacock PLEs now airing on Saturday evenings.
