Earlier this month, TKO President Mark Shapiro spoke at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia & Technology Conference, revealing that they plan to reduce the number of WWE live events in 2025. Shapiro stated that non-televised events are marginally profitable, and the company will be planning to hold fewer than 200 live events next year.
In an interview with the New York Post, Liv Morgan commented on TKO reducing WWE live events.
“I’m sad to see them kind of go a little bit because the house shows are so much fun and it’s so so much more intimate,” Morgan said. “House shows are truly for the love of the game. House shows are for the love of the art of wrestling, performing and being with the fans and interacting with fans on a more intimate level.
Also for me, I feel like that’s when I got good having so many reps on these live events in 2017, 18, 19 I was doing every single live event. But it helped me get so much better because I was getting all these reps.
I’m sad to see that go for the newer guys and girls coming in who aren’t going to be able to have that experience and have the reps at live events under their belt but it is what is. Time home is always nice. We spend so much time away from family and friends. It’s nice, but I do love live events.”
