Professional wrestling-related events in 2022
Overview of the events of 2022 in professional wrestling
List of years in professional wrestling
2022 in professional wrestling describes the current year's events in the world of professional wrestling .
Beginning in March 2020 , the COVID-19 pandemic severely affected the professional wrestling industry worldwide, with many promotions presenting shows behind closed doors . Some events were canceled while others were rescheduled to occur in 2021 and then some to 2022. Larger companies, such as All Elite Wrestling (AEW) and WWE , resumed live touring with full capacity crowds in July 2021 – further companies also began readmitting fans to events in 2022.
