WWE will be holding two of their Big Four pay-per-views in Arizona as part of a new deal.
It was announced on Tuesday that TKO and the Arizona Sports & Events Alliance had agreed to a deal that will see seven events take place in the US state over the next three years. The events will be across TKO's companies of WWE, UFC, Professional Bull Riders, and Zuffa Boxing.
Three of the seven events will be connected to WWE, with Bryan Alvarez of the Wrestling Observer reporting the agreement is for a future edition of Survivor Series, Royal Rumble, and Saturday Night's Main Event. It is unknown if any of those shows are planned for Arizona in the near future but no location has been announced as of yet for Survivor Series 2026 or Royal Rumble 2027.
WWE WrestleMania XXVI previously took place in Arizona, airing from State Farm Stadium in Glendale. Royal Rumble 2019 was also held in Arizona at Phoenix's Chase Field.
WWE reached a similar events deal with the Indiana Sports Corp in 2024 for WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble to be held in Indianapolis. Royal Rumble 2025 took place at Lucas Oil Stadium but the city is still waiting to host WrestleMania and SummerSlam.
