Disney and WWE Team Up for Live Events and Cruise Experiences
The Walt Disney Company and WWE are in talks to collaborate on new live events and experiences that will bring their family-friendly audiences together. According to WrestleZone.com, TKO President and Chief Operating Officer Mark Shapiro mentioned 'special events' planned for 2027, which would combine the two brands.
WWE is reportedly considering using Disney venues, including the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort, for live events and fan experiences. This could include wrestling matches and larger activities focused on fans. The potential collaboration may extend beyond Walt Disney World as WWE considers a themed experience on Disney's cruise line.
The companies already have a connection through ESPN, which holds the media rights to WWE's Premium Live Events in the United States under a five-year contract. However, no official announcements have been made regarding specific events or experiences.
