We've been hearing rumblings about this for a while, but it's been confirmed today - via Variety - that WWE's Saturday Night's Main Event will return to NBC on December 14 at 8 pm ET.
The show will air live on NBC and simulcast on Peacock, taking place in front of a live crowd in Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum on Long Island, N.Y., the location of the first-ever Saturday Night's Main Event back in 1985.
This is planned as the first of four quarterly WWE primetime specials for NBC which we first heard of plans for when WWE signed a new 5-year rights deal with NBCUniversal.
That saw SmackDown return to USA Network after a lengthy stint on FOX; RAW, meanwhile, premieres on Netflix next January.
"Your Saturday obsession is back in a big way," Triple H said on X earlier today. "Join us LIVE for a very special Saturday Night’s Main Event, coming to @NassauColiseum on Dec. 14."
"Tickets on sale this Friday 9/20 at 10am ET, with presale this Thursday 9/19 at 10am ET," The Game added.
WWE’s Saturday Night's Main Event originally aired periodically on NBC from 1985 to 1992 and then had brief revivals in the 2000s. It was not associated with Saturday Night Live but often aired in SNL's time slot during weeks when the comedy show was on hiatus.
Saturday Night's Main Event was a groundbreaking venture at the time, as it was one of the first major wrestling programs to air on network television since the 1950s. Up to that point, most wrestling shows had been broadcast on cable or local television channels.
WWE has yet to announce the card for the show, though they'll no doubt start building to that in the coming weeks. For now, check out a promo and poster below.
