WWE recently unveiled their plans for the coming year, starting of with their pay-per-view schedule, which has both the fans and the Superstars buzzing.
Considered by many to be a step in the right direction, the company has made two significant changes to its schedule, starting with a cut back on the number of pay-per-views scheduled, as well as changing the date for said PPVs.
The cut back sees them switch from the previous 12 pay-per-views per year schedule to one featuring only nine. Additionally, the events will take place on Saturday nights instead of the usual Sunday nights.
