RUMOR: WWE Cutting Back on PPV Events in 2017

This year, WWE has had many Pay-Per-View events, to the point that many fans and critics alike believe it is an overabundance. However, that may be one thing that changes next year in 2017, according to All Wrestling News. (Credit to them, link right here:http://www.allwrestlingnews.com/wwe-news/wwe-cutting-back-on-pay-per-view-events-next-year/ )

While little to no details have been provided about this change yet, the feeling is that there will be less events than were originally plan, presumably because there has been a lack of subscribers to the WWE Network since the brand extension.

Sadly enough, those might be the only details available at this time, which is why this is labeled as a rumor rather than actual news. Stay tuned to Rest Hold Party as details become available.
