Folks, we’ve seen some wild crossovers in our time—Marvel and Fortnite, McDonald’s and anime, Logan Paul and actual wrestling championships—but TKO Group Holdings is officially taking things to another level.
For the first time ever, WWE, UFC, and Professional Bull Riders (PBR) are coming together for a mega-event in Kansas City. That’s right, piledrivers, knockouts, and 1,500-pound bucking bulls all under one promotional umbrella. If your idea of a perfect weekend involves suplexes, spinning elbows, and cowboys getting violently launched into the air, April 24-28 is about to be your WrestleMania.
The Breakdown: Kansas City’s Wildest Week Ever
TKO will take over Kansas City’s T-Mobile Center with:
✅ PBR (Professional Bull Riders) – Because nothing says “combat sports” like angry bulls.
✅ UFC Fight Night – A guaranteed showcase of human wrecking balls trying to remove each other’s consciousness.
✅ WWE Raw (April 28) – The second Raw after WrestleMania 41, meaning expect surprises, fallout, and at least one dramatic entrance return.
This comes courtesy of an agreement between TKO and the Kansas City Sports Commission, which is either brilliant sports entertainment strategy or a deeply concerning experiment in mixing three completely different fanbases.
Official Statement: “This Is Definitely Happening”
Peter Dropick, TKO’s EVP of Event Development and Operations, dropped the following:
“Kansas City has collectively hosted dozens of UFC, WWE, and PBR events over the years, and it has become a top destination for each of these respective promotions.”
Translation: “We have successfully sold tickets here before, so why not just do everything at once?”
“This is a unique opportunity to showcase these three premier properties in one city at the same time for the benefit of fans and visitors to the area.”
Translation: “We’re about to find out if a wrestling fan, a UFC diehard, and a bull-riding enthusiast can survive in the same building together.”
Why WWE’s Raw Matters the Most
While the bulls will buck and the fighters will throw hands, WWE Raw on April 28 might just be the most important event of the weekend.
Why? Because it’s the second Raw after WrestleMania 41.
And if history tells us anything, post-WrestleMania Raws tend to be chaotic.
🤔 New champions adjusting to their reigns
🤔 Surprise debuts & returns
🤔 A possible angry Brock Lesnar appearance because someone reminded him he lost at WrestleMania
This could be the first real glimpse at where WWE is heading for the rest of 2025.
Final Thoughts
We are one accidental scheduling error away from seeing a UFC fighter, a WWE Superstar, and a cowboy all standing in the same hallway backstage, wondering what the hell is going on.
And frankly? That sounds amazing.
Kansas City, buckle up.
