5 WWE PPV events the company can bring back

WWE is the ever-expanding giant of the world of professional wrestling. With one of the longest and glorious histories of any company in the Sports Entertainment world, they hold multiple records in several different fields.

However, of late, WWE has undergone quite a drastic change. They have tried to move on in an ever-changing world, embracing the Independent Wrestling world they had scorned for so many years. They are expanding in the United Kingdom, and have plans for Japan, China, as well as India to name but a few. They hold pay-per-views in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and travel to Europe to tour. They go so far as down south in Australia to expand their promotion even further.

One of the things which have made WWE so great over the years is their varied and different pay-per-views and concepts that they have introduced. With matches like Hell in a Cell and WWE Elimination Chamber being turned into WWE pay-per-view events, several older events have taken a back seat. Some of these pay-per-views would do well in the modern world and actually be a nice change to the current situation.

In this article, we will be talking about 5 WWE PPV events which the company can bring back.

#5 Night of Champions

A night where each Championship is defended

This might not seem like the most intriguing WWE PPV of all time, but this event had something different from the other ones.

While it is not one of the 'Big Four' WWE Events, it brings with it a separate prestige that might be missing for other events. It gives an opportunity for separate Champions to face each other in a Champion vs Champion match... for prestige.

While this not appear as much, it can help put together some exciting matches which would otherwise perhaps not happen.

It is also a night that would ensure that each Championship would feature on the pay-per-view, leading to the proper exposure which they might otherwise miss out on.

#4 WWE Invasion

WWE Invasion was a different sort of pay-per-view event

I know what you are thinking... there's no WCW for an Invasion pay-per-view to take place in 2019! And even then, the original WWE Invasion storyline was far from the best.

However, there is something that WWE has built which has a lot of potentials if pushed successfully.

It is time to recognise WWE NXT as the storehouse of talent that they are. Some of the best Independent Professional Wrestlers in the world are brought into NXT, where they interact with some of the top WWE homegrown talents.

The best way to give them an opportunity to be recognised would be for one night of the year when NXT Superstars invade the main roster.

No, I don't mean they are called up, but one night where it is NXT vs Main Roster's RAW and SmackDown Live Superstars. It would give the opportunity for WWE to put on some matches which would otherwise not be seen. NXT and the NXT United Kingdom could come together for the WWE PPV.

Will it happen? Perhaps in the future, when Triple H has slightly more creative control in WWE.

#3 Cyber Sunday

The fans have the power

Cyber Sunday is possibly one of the most intriguing pay-per-view concepts to be brought up by WWE. Also known as Taboo Tuesday, this WWE PPV is perfect for the current version of WWE.

It essentially does exactly what the McMahons are claiming to do, and hands the power over to the fans. Instead of the WWE Authority Figures deciding which Superstar gets an opportunity and what the stipulation of a match will be, it will be the WWE Universe who gets to decide that by voting for it.

This concept was brought up around 2004, but for whatever reason, WWE decided to discontinue it. It is one of the most intriguing concepts, as it gives an opportunity to WWE to see what their fans want, and possibly do right by them.

It can push a particular WWE Superstar, whom the authority might have overlooked, and give the fans a feeling of satisfaction.

#2 Rebellion/Insurrextion

A WWE PPV for the United Kingdom

Rebellion and Insurrextion pay-per-views did not have a special gimmick.

They were not one of the top events of the year either, with no special focus on big matches being aimed for them. However, there was something about them that was very special. They always took place in the United Kingdom.

Given WWE's expansion in the UK, it is understandable that they want to let the NXT United Kingdom events do the job. However, if there is one wrestling fanbase which is almost rabid in their love for wrestling, it is the United Kingdom.

It is time that WWE brought back main roster WWE PPVs which are dedicated to the United Kingdom. This way, they get at least one annual event taking place which they can visit in their own country.

With WWE's expansion plans being what they are, this could build to a Big Four pay-per-view, with the possibility of WrestleMania, being held in the United Kingdom at some point in the future.

#1 King of the Ring

The legendary WWE PPV format

Possibly one of the most beloved WWE PPVs of all time, The King of the Ring has not featured in WWE since 2015. However, by then it was intermittent and had lost some of the aura that had made it so special in earlier years.

The King of the Ring Tournament being featured on a WWE PPV was something that was intriguing and had a lot riding on it. After all, the winner would then go on to get a Title Opportunity. It was almost like a Royal Rumble Match.

However, over the years WWE did not attach the same significance to it, and the last winner, Bad News Barrett, did not even get a title shot.

With winners like Sheamus, Bret Hart, Owen Hart, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Booker T, William Regal, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Triple H, the prestige of the tournament is beyond question. Perhaps it is time for WWE to bring the event back.
