WWE announces 2022 PPV schedule; WrestleMania a two night event
WWE has today released details of their 2022 pay-per-view schedule, with WrestleMania once again being hosted over two nights.
WrestleMania will take place at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas Texas on Saturday, April 2 and Sunday, April 3. It could mean that WWE will see over 200,000 fans attend the event across the weekend.
SummerSlam has also been penciled in for the end of July and will be hosted by the Nissan Stadium in Nashville, TN on Saturday, July 30. WWE has yet to confirm the names of the pay-per-views for May and June that have been penciled in.
The company has also confirmed that there will be a February and October pay-per-view, but the details aren’t yet available.
There was some speculation that WWE would be bringing SummerSlam back to the UK to celebrate the 30th anniversary of SummerSlam 1992. Instead, it appears that WWE may head across the pond in September for the currently unannounced pay-per-view.
WWE has yet to reveal when they will once again be heading over to Saudi Arabia, to continue their pay-per-view agreement with the Saudi General Sports Authority.
Here is the full released schedule by WWE:
Saturday, Jan. 1 – Day 1 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta
Saturday, Jan. 29 – Royal Rumble at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis
Saturday, April 2 and Sunday, April 3 – WrestleMania at AT&T Stadium in Dallas

WWE President and Chief Revenue Officer, Nick Khan, discussed the news “Since returning to live events this past July, our fans have graciously expressed a tremendous appetite to attend WWE shows. As they begin to make plans for next year, we wanted to make sure that the 2022 schedule and locations of our pay-per-views were made available to them.”
