UFC and WWE weekend takeover could be coming.
WWE and UFC have officially merged, with the transaction going through on September 12. The new group trades on the New York Stock Exchange as TKO.
Though the two promotions will act as separate entities there will be synergies between the two that goes beyond what fans see on television.
“Where we want to get is where every UFC fan is a WWE fan and every WWE fan is a UFC fan,” UFC senior executive vice president and chief operating officer Lawrence Epstein said to ESPN.
Epstein said UFC and WWE holding major events on the same weekend in one city and the two promotions going to tourism authorities and selling them on paying for the UFC and WWE as a package deal coming to their jurisdiction is a possibility.
WWE and UFC both ran in Las Vegas in July 2022, leading to Nick Khan, Vince McMahon, Triple H, Stephanie McMahon, and Pat McAfee attending UFC 276 following WWE Money in the Bank.
