With roots dating back to the World Wide Wrestling Federation in 1963, WWE, formerly known as World Wrestling Entertainment, is the largest professional wrestling and sports entertainment corporation in the world.
WWE matches are predetermined and mainly consist of a series of athletic displays carried out by elite, trained athletes. The matches, however, are prearranged by creative teams that function like television writers’ rooms that plan out the plots for WWE shows.

You are unable to bet on WWE events if you reside in America. This is not surprising after all, as the nature of the WWE is scripted, it is also considered entertainment, not sports, so betting on professional wrestling isn’t in the same league as betting on sports.
The Sports Entertainment of WWE
WWE has changed its philosophy on the form of entertainment they provide throughout the decades. Wrestling was quite popular before Vince McMahon purchased the company from his father and changed the direction of the company, but it was rather local and based on the territory system, with almost every state having its own major promotion.
Then came the Rock ‘n’ Wrestling era, with major stars like Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior leading the company into the future. After that, viewers saw a noticeable shift from the larger-than-life characters of old to the more sports-oriented product, with great athletes leading the company. Since then, there is now a better balance between the two. That being said, a bigger focus on the athletic aspect of matches didn’t change the predetermined nature of the WWE product.
Predetermined Nature of Professional Wrestling
Producers and agents collaborate with wrestlers backstage to plan out their matches. Despite that, the results of the matches are hidden behind closed doors. That being said, there have been many instances of anonymous sources leaking information to wrestling news websites.
With all that being said, there are still some opportunities for players to win money with DraftKings, which provides exclusive access to a huge catalog of games and betting opportunities for its players. Let’s look at the biggest annual WWE events, and find out how to win while watching them.
The Biggest WWE Events
The number of annual WWE PPVs changes from time to time, but there are four big events spread out throughout the year. The Royal Rumble, which takes place in January, is the first major event of the year. Next comes Wrestlemania, which normally takes place around April. Then comes Summerslam, which takes place, you guessed it, during the summer, in August to be more specific. And the final major event of the WWE’s calendar year is Survivor Series, which commonly takes place in November.

Fortunately for you, there are some exciting opportunities to bet on WWE with DraftKings. For example, for Summerslam 2021, DraftKings offered a $25,000 pool for those fortunate enough to guess the outcomes of the PPV.
Generally speaking, it is pretty straightforward, with many questions included in the survey, like: How many Spears do you think Roman Reigns will hit on his opponent? How many champions will retain their belts? Who is going to make a surprise return?
And this is a recurring format, so be sure to keep up with DraftKings for future WWE betting promotions.
