Maple Leafs Sports & Entertainment and WWE announced a long-term strategic partnership that will involve several collaborations over the next few years. WWE events have recently taken place at Scotiabank Arena, including Money In The Bank and Elimination Chamber pay-per-views.

The partnership could make Scotiabank Arena an exclusive WWE home, potentially limiting other promotions' access.
