Pay Per View is a telecast(webcast) service that allows individual customers to order (live) events to view on their home devices and televisions. These events are not part of regular cable TV programming and the customers must purchase the events for one-time/multiple viewings. WWE holds such PPV events every month with special attraction matches. Most of the WWE storylines surround the matches for these WWE PPVs.

Premium Live Events is the new name that WWE uses for their PPVs and special events like WrestleMania, Summerslam, Royal Rumble, Survivor Series, Money in the Bank, and others. The name is used since monthly specials are now available to watch as part of a Peacock TV, WWE Network or other streaming subscription services.
