Update On WWE PPV Changes Due To New Dual Brand Calendar; Events Dropped And Venues Changed

As noted moments ago, WWE has confirmed they will move back to a dual brand pay-per-view event calendar starting with the WWE Backlash event this May.

The following is the official pay-per-view schedule confirmed by WWE (with venues / cities also confirmed):

WWE Confirms All Dual Brand PPV Calendar In 2018

The following changes have been made to the event calendar, per a report originally issued by PWInsider.com that had previously confirmed dates and venues for the 2018 WWE PPV calendar:

• WWE Payback, originally scheduled for May 27th in Baltimore has been cancelled
• WWE Battleground, originally scheduled for July 15th in Pittsburgh, has been replaced by Extreme Rules
• Extreme Rules, originally scheduled for September 16th in San Antonio, has been replaced by Hell In A Cell
• Hell In A Cell was originally scheduled for September 30th in Nashville; that date has been removed
• WWE No Mercy has been dropped
• WWE Great Balls Of Fire has been dropped

As late as last week, tickets were listed on Ticketmaster.com for the Payback event in Baltimore. I reached out to the venue for comment about refunds or another live event and new date for Baltimore, but have not gotten a response yet.
