Although this is significant news for the professional wrestling and combat sports industries, it shouldn’t come as a total surprise. This is due to the 2023 merger of the UFC and WWE to create TKO Group Holdings, Inc. (TKO). A new cooperation and a historic merger of eminent institutions offered a plethora of new chances and resources.

It now seems that the latest merger is allowing WWE to hold events inside the UFC Apex, which has only ever hosted Dana White’s Contender Series and live UFC events in the past.

Fortunately, there will be more UFC-WWE crossovers. UFC lightweight Michael Chandler was granted a slot on an edition of WWE’s RAW earlier this year to deliver a ferocious promo for his impending matchup with Conor McGregor. It was rather exceptional and a wonderful illustration of the TKO Group’s current crossover power.
